Jenna Zhang built Sipzen, a TCM-inspired sparkling wellness drink, after being diagnosed with PCOS and Hashimoto's and deciding Western medicine wasn't enough.

In this episode, we get into the real story behind launching a physical product from scratch, being turned down by 80% of development companies, managing a team of people twice your age at 23, and what happened when a marketing agency turned out to be running a quarter-million-pound fraud scheme - and Jenna went full CIA to expose it.

This is one of those conversations that just keeps going deeper.

We cover:

- Why 3,500 years of TCM data gets dismissed as old wives' tales in the West

- How Jenna designed packaging that's genuinely impossible to copy

- What it's like being a young woman managing older men who don't want to be managed

- Going from South Brooklyn to becoming CEO of a carbon credits startup at 23

- The marketing fraud that affected 18 businesses - and why Jenna was the only one who did anything about it

- Why the UK courts give you a judgment but don't actually help you collect
