  • Why Insomnia Cookies keeps winning late night

    Why Insomnia Cookies keeps winning late night
    Apr 2 2026
    The business of cookies has never been more competitive, as specialty shops battle with supermarket staples and low-sugar options. Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi sits down on the Opening Bid Unfiltered podcast with Insomnia Cookies Founder and CEO Seth Berkowitz. Berkowitz founded Insomnia Cookies as a college student at the University of Pennsylvania in 2003, after being frustrated by the lack of late-night sweet treats available for delivery. What started as a single store in Syracuse has since morphed into 350 stores, mostly near college campuses today. Along the way, the company was bought and then sold by donut giant Krispy Kreme. The business is now owned by private equity firms Misral Equity Partners and Verlinvest. Still led by Berkowitz, he is targeting a decade-long goal to reach 1,800 locations.

    Shaking up the content game. Kenya Barris and Detavio Samuels have recently partnered to launch REVOLT Labs. Barris, the creator of black-ish, is serving as vice chair of the new joint venture, working alongside Samuels, who is the CEO of REVOLT and its parent company, Offscript Worldwide.

  • The secret behind F1’s massive boom

    The secret behind F1’s massive boom
    Mar 23 2026
    A legend in the world of autosport, from an executive standpoint. That’s where we find Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali. After rising through the financial and sporting ranks at Ferrari, he served as their Team Principal from 2008 to 2014, notably leading the Scuderia to a Constructors' Championship in 2008. Following a transformative stint as CEO of Lamborghini, where he oversaw the successful launch of the Urus SUV, he took the reins as CEO of Formula 1 in 2021. In his current role, Domenicali has been the chief architect of F1’s global expansion, successfully navigating the sport into a record-breaking 24-race calendar and spearheading the massive 2026 technical regulations reset. Domenicali drove up to the Opening Bid Unfiltered podcast mic with Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi to chat about the surging sport that is Formula 1. The F1 brand has gotten a huge lift from the successful Netflix show ‘Drive to Survive and ever increasing amounts of Corporate America sponsorships. With seemingly all eyes on the sport – especially now with Cadillac added to the grid – Domenicali has his work cut out for him to keep the growth as hot as Lewis Hamilton's lap time.
