What you missed today
Max

Good evening!
United Airlines really wants to make you reconsider your Delta allegiance.
Here are the 7 things you missed today:
1. šŖ§ 33,000 Boeing Union Members Are Striking
Not sure how this is going to fly. Around 33,000 union members at airplane manufacturer Boeing started to walk off the job today after they overwhelmingly rejected a proposed four-year contract that would have given raises of at least 25% over the life of the deal.
2. š¤ Traditional Outreach Methods Falling Short?
Drippi.ai simplifies outreach by sending automated, personalized Twitter DMs to your target B2B or B2C leads, providing a direct line of communication at a fraction of the costājust 1/3 of what youād spend on cold emails.
A PR firm booked 330 calls and generated $284k in just three months using Drippi.ai.
3. šØš³ China Is Fining PwC $62M With a 6-Month Suspension
Chinese regulators hit PwCās auditing unit in mainland China with a six-month business suspension and a record fine of 441 million yuan (~$62 million USD). The fine comes due to the firmās audit of troubled property developer China Evergrande Group, in which a PwC LLP helped cover up and āeven condoneā Evergrandeās fraud.
4. š Are We Seeing You On Tuesday?
Did you hear? Our Founder @MarketingMax is teaming up with Phil Rivers for a special free webinar teaching agencies, consultants, coaches, and software businesses how they can get 5 new clients EVERY month, if not more... for less than 2 hours of work a week!
Why are they qualified to teach this? Well, after scaling each of their agencies to over 7 figures in annual revenue respectively, then selling their agencies for a combined $12,400,000... they are on a mission to help service businesses get off the hampster wheel of referrals!
5. š¦ Shein & Temu Prices Are Set To Climb
Shein and Temu are two eCommerce sites known for cheap, Chinese-made clothing, accessories, and home items. But they might not be cheap for much longer. The Biden administration may remove the obscure āde minimis provision,ā which currently exempts international shippers from paying U.S. import duties on packages with a value of less than $800.
6. š Starlink Is Providing Free Wi-Fi For United Airlines
By the end of 2025, all of United Airlinesā more than 1,000 planes will be able to connect to high-speed internet, thanks to SpaceXās Starlink satellite network. The move to offer free in-flight wi-fi comes as airlines across the board have begun to offer the service, with Delta being the most recent to join the club alongside T-Mobile.
7. š Boarās Head Closes Virginia Plant Indefinitely
Boarās Head announced today that it has indefinitely shut down one of its Virginia-based deli meat plants and discontinued production of its liverwurst that killed 9 and hospitalized 57 in an outbreak of listeria in July. The outbreak was the largest listeriosis outbreak since 2011, according to the CDC.
Bonus. CEO Tip Of The Day
