I took a pill in South Korea.
An interview with Teddy Kim about his hangover solution. 💊
Good morning everyone. Today’s letter includes:
An interview with Feed Me columnist
about his multiple side hustles (writing for Netflix shows, starting a hangover supplement)Bad news for 25-year-old creative directors who have ever used maraschino cherries 🍒 in a campaign
An open conversation about culture’s fixation on skincare, “dermorexia”
The day ahead of me is a bit more scheduled than a usual Wednesday. I have a few important calls, a lunch meeting, a drink meeting, and dinner at a friend’s house. All of these in-person meetings are in different neighborhoods across Manhattan. The worst thing for executing all of those things — plus this letter — would’ve been any slight intervention of a hangover.
I got drinks with my friend last night at Anais (as I was leaving, there was a book club called Pages and Pours beginning, and I feel like one of you were there — it looked like an interesting group, tell me who you guys are!!!!) and it was one of those situations where my wine glass kept being refilled before it was empty. When I got home, I took two pills from a new company called Last Call.
You all know
as the columnist of Stay Tuned, wherein he writes about Hollywood and tech:
In addition to writing for Feed Me (and working on mysterious screenwriting and investing projects), Teddy has been quietly building a hangover recovery product on the side. These are the kind of stories that immediately make me interested in becoming friends with people — the stories about building in emerging markets, especially when done simply and efficiently. I’ve tried Last Call three or four times now and it’s always worked like magic (even after several Knicks game Tito’s and orange juices, I’m gross). I figured it was time to talk to Teddy about how he decided to create a miracle pill.
