[0:00] Three strangers, 30 days, no script.

[0:03] This episode covers the first week, the

[0:06] capture phase.

[0:08] But first, previously on the Code

[0:10] Challenge.

[0:11] >> On day one, I had no idea how to start a

[0:14] Pokémon vending machine business, and by

[0:16] day 30, I had all the tools, resources,

[0:19] knowledge

[0:20] >> I'm kind of neurodivergent and just

[0:22] having a hard time focusing. I got to

[0:24] turn I got to turn the corner and do the

[0:25] really hard part, you know, draft one of

[0:28] chapter one.

[0:29] >> And just kind of getting this ugly thing

[0:31] out there.

[0:32] >> I need to capture, organize, distill,

[0:35] and express for a workshop in AI in

[0:39] finance.

[0:40] >> This week, they started doing the actual

[1:01] the preliminary outlines? What's some of

[1:02] the things that I'm thinking is going to

[1:04] be a part of this really short

[1:06] manuscript, kind of short book that I'm

[1:08] I'm trying to put together.

[1:09] >> I had to start from truly ground zero. I

[1:11] had no idea what products were popular,

[1:13] what the popular cards are, the packs,

[1:16] the sets, the series, what the price the

[1:19] products at, where to buy supply, what

[1:21] are the best locations. I literally

[1:23] started with a blank slate. So, all I

[1:26] did to start was ask AI a question.

[1:29] >> I never start from zeros. I get

[1:31] something bigger, and
