Nate Bargatze, currently the biggest touring comedian in the world, is expanding his brand of PG-rated comedy with the creation of a wide-ranging media company — Nateland Entertainment.

The Big Picture: While live touring and podcasts have been cash cows for comedians over the past decade, Hollywood has immensely underinvested in the genre during the same time, especially live-action, family-friendly comedy. With nearly no one operating in that space in film and TV, Nateland has the opportunity to own it completely.

Behind the Scenes: Bargatze wants to turn Nashville, Tennessee, into the new comedy capital of the world.

Last Laugh: While it’s a risky move for Bargatze to step back from his very lucrative touring schedule to build Nateland, there’s an incredible amount of goodwill already behind the venture. Blue-chip brand partners like Walmart and General Mills have flocked to take part in The Breadwinner, signaling that the comic could tap rich advertisers to fund his entertainment efforts (with producer and former Marvel exec Jeremy Latcham saying they received more incoming calls on this film than they did for the first Avengers movie).

Prediction: When Nateland one day looks for outside investors, expect getting a piece of that pie to be the hottest ticket in town.

You may have heard about BOXABL and its mission to revolutionize the outdated construction industry. BOXABL is bringing assembly-line automation to home building, much like Henry Ford did for cars.

Nike has developed a 3D-printed sports bra to help Olympian Faith Kipyegon become the first woman to run a mile in under four minutes.

Why It Hits: By now, it’s no secret that Nike has faced a sales slump in recent years, prompting a change of CEOs and refocusing on sports performance over athleisure. Popularizing 3D-printed apparel could be a game-changer for the brand.

Between the Stitches: On Thursday, Kipyegon will attempt to break the four-minute mile (she’s already the closest woman to do so at four minutes and seven seconds) wearing Nike’s new FlyWeb bra.

Last Lap: New CEO Elliott Hill says Nike had recently “lost our obsession with sport,” so he’s doubling down on cutting-edge, high-performance products — a category where few can compete with the brand and one that’s currently experiencing double-digit growth even as overall revenue falls. The last time Nike developed a product for an athlete to beat a world record (Eliud Kipchoge’s attempt to complete a marathon in under two hours), it led to the bestselling Zoom Vaporfly 4% and kicked off a “super shoes” arms race.

Prediction: If Nike can convince women to wear plastic 3D-printed sports bras (both for running and for, like, grocery shopping), then Nike could be at the forefront of an apparel manufacturing revolution that could lift its finances.

88.7% of you voted Employers in yesterday’s poll: Who seems to have the advantage in today’s job market?

“Just like Vegas, the house always wins.”

“It’s capitalism, bro.”

“It’s a terrible job market for employees, especially young people just entering the workforce. There are very few entry and mid-level openings, regular rounds of layoffs, and an ongoing pullback from the flexibility and freedom of hybrid work to more rigid, cost-cutting corporate practices.”

“You can’t run a company without good employees. Therefore, the employee has more leverage than they think. If you want job security, and you don’t own the company, make yourself invaluable, so they depend on you.”
