🇨🇳 SHANGHAI - I had the opportunity to head to China this past December with my good friend @aleximichael — and it was honestly a crazy experience.
First off… it’s a different world out there.
The moment we landed, we had to download Alipay and WeChat just to function. Our regular lines didn’t even work. Everything runs differently.
What blew my mind?
The electric cars.
The architecture.
The speed of innovation.
It felt like stepping into the future — buildings so futuristic they almost looked unreal. Cars we probably won’t see in North America for a few more years were just… normal there.
We were there for important meetings — exploring how to bring our talent and education to that side of the world. But we were also curious.
How do the Chinese approach grooming?
How is their service culture different?
What can we learn from them?
Overall, it was an incredible experience — and I’m excited to break it all down in our next YouTube video.
Stay tuned.
Tell me these edits aren’t crazy.
Drop a 🔥 if you’re feeling it.
