Feeling stuck? Wondering why everyone else seems to be winning while you’re still waiting for a move? In this episode, we dive into the Chinese bamboo tree (growth you can’t see), a haunting chess painting called Checkmate (hope you didn’t notice), and the waiting room of life we all dread.

It’s a story about patience, perspective, and realizing sometimes the king still has one more move — even if you’re not sure what it is.

Plus, a quick word from our sponsor: Existential Dread™ — keeping you humble, anxious, and slightly productive since forever.

Listen, reflect, and maybe, just maybe, make your next move.
