We are joined by The Motley Fool's Emily Flippen to discuss her "Survivor" origins and why she believes empathy is the most underrated skill for investors. We also debate the difference between a "fad" and a "trend" in consumer goods (using Crocs vs. On Holding as the prime example), and Emily gives her honest take on "AI burnout."
