Overheard:
- Harvard is a private equity firm that also has strong education departments
- New York Times is a gaming subscription service that also has high quality journalism departments
- AMC is a popcorn and soda seller that also has movie theaters
- Tesla is an AI software company that also manufactures cars
I guess the lesson is, when you have a highly engaged audience and a strong brand, you can find various ways to monetize, including surprising, non-conventional profit generators.
