Apple just blocked The Trade Desk from serving ads on Safari — and peak season is weeks away. Plus, Whoop nearly broke its supply chain by growing too fast.

In this episode:

• Apple's latest iOS update is actively blocking The Trade Desk from serving programmatic ads on Safari, cutting off a significant slice of open-web ad inventory for performance marketers heading into peak season.
• Whoop's pivot from elite athletes to everyday consumers drove 85% membership growth in a single year, but a surprise 300,000-unit holiday order exposed serious demand planning vulnerabilities in its DTC supply chain.
• A new study finds 59% of German cross-border sellers say international trade is getting more expensive each year, with marketplace fees, logistics complexity, and compliance costs identified as the primary drags on profitability.
