CHINA recap (day 6)

I went to China to find a manufacturer that could build me a sauna heater that met my needs because no other sauna heater on the market has what I need

The manufacturers here are so adaptive. Example from today-

@pitdesi will update you!

- We ended up with a spec'd out design, price, and 3 week timeline to build a sample for <$400

You can't do this in the US, or where you can, it's way more expensive (I got quotes for 10-20x the cost)

- I'm not familiar with the timer SKU they use and want to know more about what they have available
- She doesn't know, so then we spend 20 minutes digging around their workshop together to try to find the timer models they're able to use

@arram @dharma_artist would love to contribute a sauna to something like this

[Sauna Man of San Francisco @SaunaManOfSF]

@arram @dharma_artist make sense, if you end up finding any groups doing this in SF I'd love to know about em

[Sauna Man of San Francisco @SaunaManOfSF]

@arram @dharma_artist where are you learning breathwork? solo or in groups?

@nichochar ppl or AI will continue to create abstractions that have leverage and idt thats new web frameworks or networking primitives. we've already seen agents create novel agent-agent communication protocols

@securetoexplore its helpful for me to identify the physical thing that's happening. helps both with somatic body awareness and in what strategy to use to address it

without that it's hard for me to sit with myself and I end up just running from myself / numbing

@maiab we call it 'ticka-ticka'

@divya_venn same w men!

[Sauna Man of San Francisco @SaunaManOfSF]

sometimes when the thing I know I need to do is daunting and i'm avoiding it, I treat myself to a bit of fake work around it. usually within an hour or half a day I'm so unfulfilled by it that I actually just want to do the thing

[Sauna Man of San Francisco @SaunaManOfSF]

@elGabrielC @divya_venn yeah, or at an early stage startup (<10-20 ppl)

chicken wings a real mindfulness meal because you can’t look at your phone or read your book, you just have to concentrate on the wings

@divya_venn when you work in a company your one customer is your manager. whoever holds the power to allow or not allow you continue in your pursuit and pay you

@bavedikian I had this experience trying to protect IP with a manufacturer. Together, me and AI made a super detailed mfg agreement. Sent to the mfr and they said

- we're not signing that, and

- we now know what's unique about this design and its explicitly not exclusive now

lmaooo ok
