Question: Who was Sports Illustrated’s first female sportsperson of the year?
(Answer at the bottom of the newsletter.)
Reader Appreciation:
“Behind the Curtain”

Most people see Cary Spotlight as a newsletter.
But behind the scenes, it’s actually something else.
It’s a local visibility engine.
Here’s what happens when we feature a business:
• A short podcast interview captures the story
• That story becomes an article
• The article is shared with thousands of local readers
• Social media spreads the story further
• Residents discover a business they didn’t know about
That’s the Cary Spotlight Flywheel.
Every time we tell a local story, the community gets stronger.
And the businesses behind those stories get discovered.
If you own a local Cary business, would you want your story told?

The Robot Boom Is Here. Which Company Comes Out on Top?
Robots are moving into factories, warehouses and hospitals faster than most people realize. When a new industry takes off like this, the instinct is to buy a basket of names and hope one of them hits.
The trouble is that baskets dilute your winners. In a lot of booms, a single company ends up taking the lion's share, while everyone holding the other six watches from the sidelines.
Our report names the one robot company we think comes out on top, and explains why. It normally sells for $19.99, but today it's free. Opt in and we'll also text you alerts on the stock, so you don't miss a move.
