In this episode, we’re putting cohost Nate on trial—brand trial, that is. Sarah, Nate, and Tether Insight’s new AI research intern, DEX play The Tattoo Test, a brutal brand-building game show where each level challenges Nate to prove his brand is worthy of obsession, devotion... and maybe even a little ink.

Guided by Sarah and judged (mercilessly) by Dex—our British, sarcasm-laced AI intern—Nate must face:

Level 1: Pick a fight (a real one)

Level 2: Design a ritual, not a funnel

Level 3: Write a tattoo-worthy tagline

Level 4: Turn product into identity

Level 5: Face the final boss: Would anyone actually tattoo this brand?

It’s fast. It’s fun. It’s uncomfortably honest. And it just might help you build the kind of brand that commands cult-leader status.
