Q: What do you get when China & the NBA go toe-to-toe?
A: Yao Ming
The Chinese LOVE basketball.
The Chinese ADORE the NBA.
The Chinese government HATES an outspoken NBA.
It feels like a $4 billion NBA business in China was flushed down the toilet overnight with one tweet: "Fight for Freedom, Stand with Hong Kong"
Is this bigger than the NBA?
Yup.
Do American companies have a spine when it comes to China?
Nope.
Is this really all Daryl Morey's fault?
Daryl WHO?
Episode #71, y'all. After breakin down the NBA and China, we gets to talkin to John Kennedy.
Don't worry, his middle initial ain't "F."
This dude is a brain coach. He runs a company called Combat Brain Training.
He's a former corporate guy that developed a brain-training system for Marine Special Ops on how to sniff out an IED device (booby traps) in Afghanistan. Basically, it boils down to mental agility: can a Marine take in TONS of info in the moment and make a critical decision to save his/her own life?
Spoiler alert: the Marine CAN. John taught them how. And now he's teaching athletes, business folks, and investors how to do the same thing. I did a demo of this technique - WHOA! It worked! Make sure you catch the full run-down of his interview in part 2 (released Thursday).
Peace,
Amer.
