About the episode: 👀🧠

🤢 Ever tried Baiju? Witness the raw pain (and Nick's questionable peer pressure) as we kick off EP 238 with China's potent national spirit. Then, things get WILD: could 100 average dudes really take down a Silverback Gorilla? 🦍 We dive deep into the physics, fear factor, and questionable Red Rover tactics. Spoiler: ChatGPT weighs in. 😂

After the ape debate, Nick's back from #China with a crucial report from the ground. Forget headlines – hear directly from factory owners bracing for tariff pain, shifting supply chains (Vietnam yes, Mexico no?), and the real potential impact on US shelves & jobs. 🇨🇳💸 Is this "Art of the Deal" or economic slow burn? We discuss market positioning amidst the chaos (#Bitcoin, #Stocks, #Gold).

Finally, feeling fried? We break down #burnout inspired by RSA's (Bankless) 90-day reset. Is it misalignment? Dopamine depletion? The hell of context switching? We explore practical ways to reclaim focus and energy, even if you can't unplug for 3 months. 🧠🔥

It's raw, unfiltered talk on bizarre hypotheticals, critical #geopolitics, market strategy, and surviving the grind. Grab a (non-Baiju) drink & tune in.
