Episode 49: BridgetGPT The Sneaker AI

In this episode, I debut a conversation with BridgetGPT, the first Sneaker AI. Other topics include retconning the Union 1 AJKO, Sneaker Leaker Wars, the MSCHF red boots and what it takes to build an audience, Joshua Vides and what it takes to burn bridges. I also talk about Tiffany AF1s, how consignment as a concept is not advisable in a slow market, and close it out with my thoughts on how Nike is explaining why they didn't sue Bape earlier. A jam packed episode, all killer no filler!
