This week's episode of The Idea That Changed Our Lives is a follow-up to last week's. Jack and Emily are still based in the UK, but have moved back to china for more work opportunities. They talk about why they decided to move there from their native Italy over 10 years ago. Also discuss whether or not asia will ever become that super cluster market like you tell them it would be if we were all living here now.
The NIA boys discuss the Super Mario Bros Blockbuster, Nintendo IP, Europe vs. US Tech, and much more.
