Welcome to Industry Focus. The Podcast that dives into a different sector of the stock market each day.

I'm your host Emily Flippin. I'm Jason Moser. I'm Nick Seyple. I'm Dylan Lewis. And today

we're talking financials. Today we're talking consumer goods. Wild Card Wednesday.

And we're talking energy. And today we're talking tech.

Let's dive in.

It's Friday, July 23rd, and we're checking out Blend Labs.

I'm your host, Don Lewis, and I'm joined by Fool.com's chief curator of cautious,

continuous compounding, Brian, how you doing?

Dylan, I thought this week we were going to do some other show other than an IPO show but just yesterday I got a message from one of my

followers about an interesting company and I said all right Dylan we're got to do another one.

You know we can't stay away we just keep coming back to him Brian because they keep showing up that's just how it works

It won't always be this good. We won't always be spoiled with new SAS companies that are coming public that have

Numbers that make us interested. spoiler alert, but this is one that I think definitely checks that box for us.

attention is right now in the financial markets. If you're like me and had never

heard of Blen Lab before we'll get into the reasons why but I want to read the message that one of my followers,

you and Dylan might want to check out this company called Blend Labs, BLND.
