In this eye-opening episode, Shi Liang, owner and founder of Legendary Fisherman restaurant and former naval officer, reveals the wild entrepreneurial journey most people never see behind a successful F&B brand. From running crypto mining farms with $9,000 monthly electricity bills to designing vertical farms that use GPU heat to grow ginseng, Shi Liang shares how he navigated the chaos of COVID-19 by diving deep into Web3, blockchain, tokenization, and sustainability tech, all while trying to create a fully integrated ecosystem from farm to table. He gets brutally honest about the failures that came from being "too ahead of the curve," including shelving a super app concept right before the pandemic hit, and breaks down the critical difference between informed risk-taking and gambling everything away. Most importantly, he shares the framework that saved him from his own "itchy backside" entrepreneur tendencies: setting clear boundaries, timelines, and financial parameters before starting any venture so you know exactly when to push forward and when to pull back before you lose everything, a lesson he learned the hard way that could save you from making the same expensive mistakes.This episode is brought to you by The Golden Nuggets Podcast.Ready to brakthrough your glass ceiling?
