I sat down with Sam Thompson (https://x.com/ImSamThompson) again, and this time we tried something completely different. We used a random word generator to come up with totally random words and then challenged ourselves to turn each one into a real business idea that could make $20K a month. What started as a fun experiment turned into one of the most creative brainstorming sessions I’ve ever done.
We came up with ideas like an Office-themed chess set, a blue-collar Stoicism community, and even a nightclub marketing agency called Full Lounge. We debated which ideas would actually work, which ones could scale, and how fast each could become profitable. Sam also shared why most people overcomplicate online businesses when simple local plays like garage cleanouts can hit $20K a month with just one person running them.
We wrapped up talking about how important it is to start small, stay consistent, and focus on momentum instead of waiting for permission or the “perfect” idea.
Enjoy!

(00:00):
If Mr. Beast can do this with video ideas, you and or I can do
this with business ideas, right?It's too demoralizing to sell
something for 40 bucks a month. You're like dude, 200 more of
these right? It's.
Tough versus like the garage clean out guy.
If he's charging 700 bucks, it'slike all right, he needs to do 1
garage clean out a day and he's chilling, he's making 21.
(00:21):
Anyone can go and do that. You're working 6 hours a day,
you're making 20,000 bucks a month.
Someone go make your 20 grand a month dude, I promise you can.
All right, I just had Sam on thepodcast again.
It was a banger. We had a blast.
So we turned around and did another one.
I actually used a random word generator to generate 2 to 3
(00:42):
words so we could come up with business ideas around those
words that anyone could start and we had a lot of fun.
Please enjoy. This is going to be so fun.
I've always wanted to do this. I've never done this.
If Mr. Beast can do this with video ideas, you and or I can do
this with business ideas. All right, random word
generator. Cool.
Let's say 3 words. Yeah, more words, harder it gets
(01:02):
right. Cool.
Word type all We're going to usethese three random words to come
up with a business idea that someone could use to make 20
grand a month in net. Profit.
All right, Bet. Dude, I'm in OK?
You ready? Let's.
Go Yeah, yeah. This is not edited.
Muhammad is not involved. No, we're in.
Here we go. Vague office Han.
Vague. OK, I got an idea.
(01:23):
Yeah, there it is. There it is.
We're going to make a chess set that's themed of the office.
Yeah. That's it, That's it.
You're. Going to have like the King is
Michael Scott, the Queen is Jan.Oh my gosh, I.
Thought it had like a millisecond.
What's vague about it? What's vague about it?
Maybe there's like a a golden ticket reward in there where you
could win. Like an autographed piece of
(01:44):
memorabilia from the set. One in 1000.
Chess kits. Has a golden ticket.
Golden Ticket. Yeah, Charlie Kern over here,
dude. Oh yeah, sorry, I jumped the
gun. No, that's OK.
I'm with it and I like that one the most.
I was going chess, but I was going ebook.
OK oh chess book all day bro. That's a valuable audience, 100%
(02:06):
Oh my gosh. So.
Funny. Well, how do we get to 20 KA
month though? I mean, this is just going to be
a Facebook ad. Just Facebook.
Ad straight up dude and then thething that I like it I want a
recurring on the back and so it's like anyone that buys that
is a very specific group of people and so it's like cool
launch a little paid Facebook community for it and be like
(02:27):
Yep, these are office lovers that love chess.
This is your. People.
Like. Come hang out, learn chess, do
your thing. Oh, I did.
You have cameos from the the people in there.
Who's the guy that's on Cameo? He does so.
Many bumgardner. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Imagine you just pay him to givechess tips.
Yeah, you just on Cameo. Like idiotic chess tips.
(02:51):
Yeah, dude, he's just like explaining different moves and
stuff. That'd be a phenomenal ad.
Are you kidding dude? That would be just immediate
face recognition. Ramp.
So good, so good. Why don't you describe what
happened with that for those that haven't seen that?
Yeah, so Ramp, I don't know if they did like a launch or if it
was just like a a random ad campaign, but they put him in
like a glass office box somewhere and he just like sat
(03:14):
there for like 8 hours messing around in the office all
promoting Ramp. So cool.
What do you think he got paid for?
That can't have been that much, right?
I put it out like 100. That much, really.
Yeah, yeah. Wow.
Like, I don't think he got paid millions.
I also don't think he got like 10 grand.
OK, I was thinking closer to 10.Grand, really, I don't know what
(03:37):
his cameos go for. And it's like travel and like,
you know, like meteorites and, you know, like all of that sort
of stuff. Like I'd put it closer to 100.
I'm looking up his cameo cost 195 bucks for personal video.
For like what? That's like a minute.
Average video length minute 22. That's good living, man.
(03:57):
Attracts dude. He has 6000 reviews which means
he's surely had 10s of thousandsof customers.
Yeah, he's I. Heard he's the highest paid
cameo. Actor I had I heard the same.
It's crazy. You just pop on there.
Sorry dude, 200 bucks an ad creative.
You're like dude teach them about this chess movie.
You just give him an outline. All.
(04:19):
Right. Be so funny.
I mean, that one's a little costly, cuz we're gonna have to.
You got inventory, you got ads, you got to start any econ
business getting to 20 KA month,you gotta be moving units in
product, you gotta move units. We can make a digital chess
version. Why not bro?
100% an iPhone app that you playwith your friends, yes.
Right Vibe code, yes. Dude 100% that's the interesting
(04:42):
part now is like with the vibe code stuff, you really can go
launch these little micro SAS products pretty easily.
I I think the challenge will be.That they will like.
Come and go, right? Like, I think that you can like,
blow one up, but like, the barrier to entry is getting
lower. And so it's like a little bit
more challenging to like, turn that into something that's like
(05:03):
truly sustainable. I think a lot of people think
that they can go and do that to like, set and forget.
They're like, I'm gonna get thisthing to 20.
I'm guilty of that. I'll get it to 20.
And it'll just, like, exist in perpetuity.
That'll never be the case. It's like the thing will require
more and more and more and more to just continue to grow.
Always. And so I always, anyone that
(05:24):
pops on calls me and is like, I want to launch this, this and
this. And then I'll just like have
this passive portfolio of like 3apps that I can just go F off
and do whatever. And I'm like, dude, like if it
was that easy, everyone is goingto compete with you.
And so like, you have to continue to get better.
And so I just try to. Figure out like that kind of
balance. I think going back to the
original prompt of like quarter $1,000,000 a year businesses.
(05:46):
And I think the, the one additional side of the box that
I want to add to it is one person, right?
Like if you don't want any employees, you want to make a
quarter $1,000,000 a year, like where do you live?
Like where do you, what do you want to do the main stuff?
So like, let's think boxes, right?
So like there's, there's 2 two boxes.
(06:07):
One is digital broad stroke box,right?
You're talking everything from software to E com to I'd even
give like agency, riot, freelancer, like that sort of
world. And then you have.
Physical, which is much more local, like pressure washing or
stump grinding or any of those sort of things.
(06:30):
And so a lot of that comes down to like personal preference and
skill level, right? Like if you're a dad of three
kids in Dallas, TX and like friends with a bunch of people
and have a really good local community, like be pretty easy
to launch a service business kind of around just your area,
right? Like I do car washing on the
weekends. Or you know.
(06:52):
The one that it's funny, the onethat I saw that was super
interesting was garage clean outs.
Have you seen? Have you seen?
Yeah, Gary Vee talking? About that.
Yeah, yeah. And I was like, that's awesome.
I think that the other guy that does the custom garage storage
that you interviewed and so there's a bunch like if you if
you wanted to be like super heavy cash flow quickly at
service, right? Like the issue with E com on the
(07:14):
digital side or even with software is like you have to
actually really good at customeracquisition.
If you're charging $8 a month for something because to get to
20, let's just say easy math again, like say you're charging
10 bucks a month to get the 20 K, you have to be able to
acquire 2000 customers, right? Which generally, unless you have
a big audience or have the intention of going and building
(07:36):
1, which just will take time, you're generally looking at an
ads game, which on an 8 dollar $10 a month subscription, have
fun losing money for your first year because you're just, you're
probably not going to get the CAC to where you want it to be.
And so a space that I really like and I think more people
should kind of try to to live inis like that 500 to $1000 a
(07:58):
month per customer world becauseit's meaningful enough from a a
dollar amount that like you could get to 20 pretty quick.
It's too demoralizing to sell something for 40 bucks a month.
You're like, dude, 200 more of these right?
It's. Tough versus like you know the
garage clean out guy like if he's charging 700 bucks 700
(08:20):
bucks it's like all right he needs to do 1 garage clean out a
day and he's making yeah he's chilling he's making 21 right I
mean it's. Like him on the pod?
Let's go. That's awesome.
And it's like anyone can go and do that.
Like literally I could wake up tomorrow and be like, dude, F
everything that I'm doing. Like I'm just going to clean
(08:43):
garages out for four hours a dayand like vibe.
Like I'm. Going to make my money I'm going
to like I'll work for four hoursin the garage, I'll answer
emails and do lead Gen. activities for an hour. 2 hours
like you're working 6 hours a day.
You're making 20,000 bucks a month.
It's like very simple living andyou have the option to go and
(09:06):
expand that. Sure.
Like hey. Hire people.
My cousin wants to get in on this.
He hates his job. Like I'll pay him $400.00 a
garage clean out whenever I haveoverages and like right like
stair step your way up. And I think people just like
really get caught in this, like I want to build a SAS or like
one of these things because there's way more upside.
(09:27):
Obviously, if you're going to gothrough the pain of
entrepreneurship, it's really easy to try to to like create
this reward for yourself, which is like multi $1,000,000 cars
and yachts and houses. And I was super guilty of that
of like, this sucks. And so like I need to.
Put a Lamborghini. On the finish line here to like
help me get through the pain of it, but it's also like you could
(09:49):
also just go make a quarter $1,000,000 in any location that
has like a reasonable populationon little stuff like that.
That garage business is recurring too, because that
garage ain't going to stay cleanforever.
Like a yearly spring clean out. Literally.
Dude, let me connect. Can we do the word generator
again? A. 100%.
Let's add a little variable. OK, OK, let's do this.
(10:11):
So let's I'm going to share my screen.
I'm going to go to randomwordgenerator.com,
whichisagreat.com, like phenomenal, itsagreat.com
because they made it a great.com, right?
Most people look at that and they're like 03 words, 15, 15
letters. Like how are you going to
monetize that? Well, he is, he's doing great.
Let's do this. Let's both come up with an idea.
(10:32):
It doesn't have to be first to the idea wins.
Let's both come up with an idea and then I'm going to open
Claude Chechbt, whatever and I'mgoing to give it no context and
say objectively which idea is better and why?
OK, we'll have. To do all three of these.
Yeah, we you have to incorporateeach of those 3.
Words. All right, let's try it.
OK, here we go. And we're not going to edit
(10:53):
this. We're not going to remove the
time. That's fine.
You just have to trust us. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right, You ready? You watching?
Yeah, I'm ready. You got that latency delay.
I got a .2 second edge on you here.
Yeah, I'm ready to go all. Right here we go.
Philosophy. Acceptable Steel.
Oh man, Steel's. Off dude, I could have
(11:14):
definitely gone deep on on philosophy.
Acceptable all the way through. Acceptable.
All right, I got an idea. Go.
It's going to be like a a community, kind of like Ryan
Holidays Stoics community. Of like.
Blue collar dude, 34 year old dudes that work in steel
(11:36):
manufacturing, whatever. And it's it's going to be like
around philosophy. It's going to be like Marcus
Aurelius, like Socrates, all that.
It's going to be dudes like us that wouldn't normally care
about philosophy, but that do. It's going to be a community
just like this, the Stoicism community and now acceptable.
How do you work acceptable into it?
(11:56):
That's how society views these guys.
That's the chip on your shouldermarketing angle where it's like
no one respects. The world thinks you're an
idiot. Yeah.
Oh, what? What's the adjective for you?
Joe Blow working in a steel millin Philadelphia.
Acceptable. Yeah.
Joe's acceptable. No, no, Joe knows Socrates.
Joe's know it. Joe is more refined than
(12:19):
acceptable. He's better than acceptable.
For $79 a month, you can join another community.
You can join this community of other quote UN quote acceptable.
And that will be like the T-shirt.
Yeah. Acceptable.
Like a kind of like a I am accepted or like a yeah, They're
like, I don't know. What do you think?
I'm not going to be able to beatthat, you know, come on.
(12:41):
Like, well, the, the moment you started stalking, I was like, Oh
yeah, that's, that's what we're.Rolling, I know.
Then your mind goes. For I was like, oh.
Thinking for yourself. Right.
Yeah. 100%, yeah, that's the. That's like the one that makes
the most sense here. Objectively, you're better at
this than me. A third word.
Makes it. Hard dude.
And maybe maybe I'm saying that as a cop out, but like the third
(13:04):
is like, dude. Philosophy and acceptable.
I'm in. Yeah.
Steel that's. I'm also in such an e-book brain
that I'm like, I just write a book about it.
Yeah, like. Why not just write a book like?
Yeah, blue collar Stoics. How to find peace?
(13:24):
In your blue collar career. I like that.
How to find meaning while you'restringing railroads or whatever,
you know, like whatever they do I.
Don't we don't know what we're talking about?
No idea. But I don't know anything about
divorce and I can still make money on it, so like, hey.
That's. Right, like I bet you I could
(13:45):
sell blue collar stuff. I fixed thousands of iPhones and
I hated every single one of them.
Yeah, but that's OK. Yeah.
But you know what? Dude, I accept you.
Oh. Thank you.
I accept you. Thank you.
You know that's an acceptable. You are enough.
You are that's dude. There's a couple of signs around
here. Billboards.
You are enough. Only in LA.
(14:06):
You know dude, you know what? We're all about that mental.
Health. You know what, Sam?
I reject that notion that you are enough.
OK, I'm going to take the opposite side of that.
You're not enough. You're not there yet.
I'm not enough. You're not enough.
We're still working on it. We're a work in progress.
Always give me a T-shirt that says you are enough with a line
through it. This says work in progress.
How about that? Never done and you're?
(14:27):
Accepted at the same time. That's the new.
One we love you how you. Are But that doesn't lead to
complacency. Dude like just like one of the
the leaders in my church said. He says come as you are, but
don't expect to stay as you are.Yes, love how?
About that love, love. That's sick.
You guys want to write a book? He has, He has.
That's awesome. Any other like fun growth hacks
(14:49):
or crazy stories? Any hummingbirds?
Dude our your Hummingbird video.It's got 240,000 views dude.
Yeah, it's great, dude. It's because I broke down.
What, like it's selling sugar, dude.
Like it's not. How many conversations have you
and I had like that? That's just another.
Tuesday, it's funny. I'll talk to people and they'll
be like, I saw you on the Current and I was like, dude,
you should see our text threats like.
(15:10):
These pods started just. Because we would sit.
In the office and talk this exact same way.
Like there was no. They're like, do you guys plan
it? No.
Like no. This episode, full transparency,
was the most. Planned thing.
Ever. And it was literally, Yeah, I
was going to say it was. Literally 3 minutes before it
started. Yeah, it's.
Like what are we? Talking about this.
Cool. Which I don't know if we've done
(15:32):
a great job of holding to by theway, but if we can it.
Works. Hey Mohammed.
Mohammed, fix it in post. Fix it in post.
Make this so. Funny, I've been thinking more
about that macro trend, like I think getting people to take
action, lower the bar of success, make things simple and
just doing it I think is is a win.
(15:52):
Like it's the moment you make your first dollar for yourself,
you will feel it here. So don't delay that anymore.
You could go sell something on Facebook Marketplace and be
like, wait a second, I just flipped this thing that spent I
spent $100 on and I sold it for 140.
And you just start to like rewire that side of it.
And then the other piece of it, which is funny.
(16:13):
It's like I tell people like we'll talk and it's you get paid
for shiny objects syndrome, right?
Like you get paid to run this show and talk about.
All of these like, fun new things and all of.
It, which is awesome and behind every shiny object to make it
meaningful is an absolute metricbleep ton of work.
(16:37):
And when you hit that work, don't stop working.
Don't switch to the next shiny object that's fun for that first
two weeks because it'll end up turning into work.
If it's working, double down. Keep running at it.
I think is more valuable to hearthen like here's how I set up my
ad account to like drop my Cpl. by 6% right?
(16:58):
Like most people don't even get to the spot where they get to
have that conversation. With that said, Shiny object #72
is local, local newsletters, dude.
Because of like, if you're stuck, you don't know.
If you don't know what to do right now and you're like, I
want to do something but I don'tknow what to sell or whatever.
(17:23):
Start with audience. I tweeted it the other day.
I was like, there's no doubt in my mind that almost every
business on the planet can startas some form of a media company,
whether that's a blog, a newsletter, A TikTok account,
any of those things. So it's like, if you don't know
what to do, I promise that you can make money in any industry
(17:46):
ever. What do you like?
You love cars? Cool.
Just start talking about cars. Do a newsletter on cars like
just talk about that thing that you.
Love Meet. People that are also interested
in that thing and then sometime you'll be like, Oh my goodness,
I just saw an ad for a tint shoplocally.
(18:09):
What if I sold these leads to tint shops and you'd be like,
well I'll run ads for right likelet's try that thing is right
and so. It's like.
If you don't have something that.
You feel super passionate. About from a from a business
perspective, if you're like, yeah, just like garage cleaning
sounds interesting. Pressure washing sounds
interesting. Like anything local, like that's
(18:30):
kind of like as a human where I'd rather rather be and like,
what I'd rather do is work with my hands and like be hands on in
the community and all of that. Sweet.
Start a local newsletter. Lauren and I have ours.
We're at 3200 Subs one people hit us up asking for to promote
their stuff, which like I'm not really trying to monetize it
like that, so I'll just promote them for free.
(18:50):
Like if they hit me up like thislady was like my cousin runs the
dry cleaner. Can you shout them out?
It's like, yeah, sure, like we'll do it.
But the moment that I'm like, you should see all the domains I
own now where I'm like I own South Bay carpetcleaning.com, I
own South Bay bookkeeping.com. I own right.
Like a bunch of these things are, I was like, wait a second,
like, dude, I could go and turn on anything that I want on the
(19:12):
back of that. And it's just because I have
that asset and I think more. People should.
Just start to have an asset and that's an.
So easy bro. Like my?
Tik Toks are literally. Like.
Are you a TikTok? I started posting Tik toks on on
the newsletter page like last week.
It's not like 100 followers. It's super easy.
It's B roll of the ocean and me being like the 10 best bars in
(19:34):
Hermosa and it's just like listing them out.
It's like 100. Followers like.
And I'm getting follows from allthe restaurants, right?
Like there's Realtors that are following and then all of a
sudden, yeah, all of a sudden you're like, wait a second.
Like there's movement. There's.
Progress there's. Like you're starting to feel
that and it's building this asset that you can use to go
launch literally anything like, and I've had that thought.
(19:54):
I was like, what are the cheapest things I can go buy a
pressure washer? Why would I not go promote that?
Like and just see. Let me get this idea out.
You got me an idea. Go.
When you said South Bay carpetcleaning.com do what?
What are we talking about? Why doesn't someone go build an
agent that scrapes, not scrapes,but just looks up every city
(20:14):
name in America by population and then every home service
industry by commonality and thenlooks up, you know, New York
City dentist taken, New York City chiropractor taken and just
goes down the the line and starts buying up all the domain
names that are not taken. And you're going to find pretty
soon you own chicagolandscaping.com.
(20:35):
Who would have thought that's available, But how many people
have bots that are looking for that?
And then but you're also going to own like Buck crack, Texas,
you know, wood floorcleaning.com.
Which is like paperless. Worthless, but you could set up
parameters where it's like if it's over X characters, don't
buy it, if it's over X syllablesdon't buy it, if the city
population is under 100,000 people don't buy it.
Like what are we talking about? You could sell access.
(20:56):
To that I have a handful that I own that are those.
I bet you do. Yeah.
I've got a couple. Pride and joys, dude.
I have higher losangeles.com andhighernewyork.com and so it
would be like job boards for biggeos.
Think super interesting idea andyou just sell the leads is the
nice part. You don't have to go launch it.
Like I know a guy that has a carpet cleaning business here.
(21:17):
Like the plan is not for me to go clean dudes carpets.
The plan is for me to be like, hey, I charge this guy 800
bucks, yo. Jim.
I know you charge 600. Dude, can I tell you in a domain
name I have my eye on that's ridiculously expensive?
Yeah, it's for sale as a premiumdomainname.com. 250 grand.
I offered 150, they said no. I offered 170.
(21:39):
They said no. They basically said we know what
we have. Tell me that's not a good name.
High ticket course. Yeah.
How many AI consultants? And then when I say consulting,
I mean implementation and automation agencies, right?
Yeah, 100%, dude, 100%. It's a good one.
It's just built in. It's just built in.
It's just like so. It's just so.
There it's relevant. It's tidal wave.
(22:01):
It's the same with pay per call,right?
I was like pay per call dot IO, like this is what we do.
It's straight up and it's like. It's a win dude.
It's a. Hedge on the future?
And that's what it's going to be.
I mean, you see, what's that dude's name from?
He was like Morning Brew or whatever, Alex Lieberman or
whatever. And it's like.
Mackenzie for AI that's. What are you doing?
(22:23):
I'm using one domain for that divorce thing but.com is for
sale for like 10 grand. Oh, that's good.
That pay for itself in one lead.I mean, it could.
I know, I know. That's International lawyers was
10. Grand.
Yep, it's just. There's so much opportunity out
(22:43):
there. Dude.
And that's the issue. But then every single
opportunity turns into a metric F load of work on the back.
And they're like, I know I already have seven of those.
Yeah, like I have 7 metrics tonson my back already.
And so it's like, somebody should do it.
Yeah, always my somebody should do it.
(23:04):
Go make your it. Someone will.
It's a matter. Of time.
Someone go make your 20 grand a month dude, I promise you can.
Dude, let's close it out with this.
Yep. I want to do one more random
word. Generator.
I knew dude. I knew you.
Were about to do. That and I was like, dude,
another one of these things, hear me out.
Showing off at this point. No, no, no.
No, I want to change it, so I'm not.
I'm going to set a 30 second timer.
(23:27):
I have it 2 words, 6 letters or less.
Yep. OK.
And we're not going to say a word for 30 seconds.
OK, you ready? So I can't, we can't ruin it.
I'm going to click it right. Now I don't have a timer, but
yeah. I've got I'm going to switch
over to a timer screen. All right, here we go, lounge
full play. I got an idea.
(23:52):
I feel like we're thinking like the same thing.
It's only one way to find out. Should we stop it early?
I mean 7. Seconds.
I've got mine. Like I know, I know what I'm
launching. Dude.
I'm launching A nightclub specific marketing agency.
Full lounge, baby. You're full lounge, we're making
sure the whole thing. That's good.
(24:13):
Full lounge. That's the so, dude.
Sometimes the idea is the name first.
This is a perfect example. Like, dude, you're not.
We're not reinventing the wheel.This is the marketing industry.
There's a million them out there, but the name makes the
idea. That is what Unlimited Content
was. I saw that domain for sale and I
was like, dude, an SEO agency that's super focused on a
content side and then we bought it and launched it and here we
(24:35):
are. It is the name Dude.
Your idea wins your idea, your idea wins.
So my idea is not even thought out yet, but I was thinking of
airport lounges, like airport lounge, an app or a directory
where you could like, because sometimes lounges are full.
Like airport lounges are full. I've got a card, I've got access
(24:56):
and it's full, right? So maybe it's like it only shows
you ones that are not full or it's like a.
So that you don't need to go to the airport 2 hours early so you
can sit in the lounge if you can't get in anyways.
Or maybe because there's all kind like there's American
Airlines, there's Delta, there'slike non airline owned lounges.
Maybe it aggregates all of them and for like a ridiculous price.
(25:16):
Maybe like pay per access instead of like a monthly fee
instead of having to have an Amex Platinum or whatever, It's
just like. AI feel like there is an app
similar to that. It's kind of like I had a
cancelled flight. I got 7 hours in this airport.
I'll pay $200 to chill in a lounge.
I did like the American Airlines1.
I spent 8 hours in one and the Admiral.
Love this. And I was like, thank God they
(25:38):
had a shower, dude. Let's prompt this out.
OK? I'm going to log in to Claude
because it doesn't know me as well as ChatGPT.
I don't want it to be fast. Come on.
Yeah. I mean, I'm not going to tell
who's in the. Game, dude.
I know, right? Hold on.
I'm logging in. I just refreshed my cash, so all
right, I'm going to share my screen.
(25:59):
OK? And you're going to prove this
prompt before I hit enter. I'm telling you right now, I'm
hedging my bets. Your idea is better.
Here's what Claude thinks. I agree.
Grade these two biz ideas from one to 10.
OK, one an app that allows you to buy one time access to
(26:21):
airport lounges to a marketing agency that specializes in bars
and nightclubs. Yeah.
And keeping them full and busy and the unique, unique selling
(26:42):
proposal of the agency is the name.
What was it full? Lounge.
Full lounge as in fulllounge.com?
Could I prompt that any differently?
Now you're chilling. I kind of feel like it's going
to vote for me because it's going to, it's like think that
(27:02):
mine's more unique. Yeah, right.
Well, and that's that's what I was about to say is like what's
the parameter right. So like.
Based on it being likely to work.
Yeah, I'm down with that. So you have a success parameter,
you have a speed to cash flow parameter, you have an ease of
marketing or like cost of acquisition parameter, right.
Like there's all these variablesto consider, but like you could
(27:24):
have a much bigger business on one on yours, right?
But like it would. Cost.
It's hard. And you'd have to spend a lot of
money on marketing and partnerships with all the
lounge. Like it would be hard, right?
But like, you could make it hugeor you could just go stack 20
grand a month like with 20 restaurant nightclub.
(27:47):
Yep. Clients that pay you 1000 bucks
a month. So grade these two business
ideas from one to 10 based on which is most likely to get to
profitability fast for the lowest relative amount of time,
money and effort. That good.
All right, all right. Claude, what you got for us?
Analyzing airport lounge app market satirization.
(28:08):
Yeah, here you go. It's called Lounge.
Buddy lounge, buddy dude. Lounge, that's the thing.
Lounge buddy. Dude that's the app that I was
thinking of. It's.
Lounge, you win, you win. Look at this, I get a three out
of 10, you get an 8 out of 10. You can start today with a
laptop and a phone. First client immediate
profitability bars desperately need foot traffic can improve,
(28:28):
prove ROI. Domain name is clever and
memorable. Marketing niche specialization
makes you expert versus general agencies.
Can land first client in one to two weeks if you hustle.
Yes. And mine just says significant
upper in capital partnerships, extremely competitive long sale
cycle which all those. Are low margin all of it.
Dude that was fun. That's.
Hey Mohammed, since I lost this one, edit this last one.
(28:51):
Yeah, right, dude. Where can we find you, Sam?
On Twitter. I'm Sam Thompson all.
Right, what do you think? Please share it with a friend
and we'll see you next time on the Kerner office.
If Mr. Beast can do this with video ideas, you and or I can do
this with business ideas, right?It's too demoralizing to sell
something for 40 bucks a month. You're like dude, 200 more of
these right? It's.
Tough versus like the garage clean out guy.
If he's charging 700 bucks, it'slike all right, he needs to do 1
garage clean out a day and he's chilling, he's making 21.
(00:21):
Anyone can go and do that. You're working 6 hours a day,
you're making 20,000 bucks a month.
Someone go make your 20 grand a month dude, I promise you can.
All right, I just had Sam on thepodcast again.
It was a banger. We had a blast.
So we turned around and did another one.
I actually used a random word generator to generate 2 to 3
(00:42):
words so we could come up with business ideas around those
words that anyone could start and we had a lot of fun.
Please enjoy. This is going to be so fun.
I've always wanted to do this. I've never done this.
If Mr. Beast can do this with video ideas, you and or I can do
this with business ideas. All right, random word
generator. Cool.
Let's say 3 words. Yeah, more words, harder it gets
(01:02):
right. Cool.
Word type all We're going to usethese three random words to come
up with a business idea that someone could use to make 20
grand a month in net. Profit.
All right, Bet. Dude, I'm in OK?
You ready? Let's.
Go Yeah, yeah. This is not edited.
Muhammad is not involved. No, we're in.
Here we go. Vague office Han.
Vague. OK, I got an idea.
(01:23):
Yeah, there it is. There it is.
We're going to make a chess set that's themed of the office.
Yeah. That's it, That's it.
You're. Going to have like the King is
Michael Scott, the Queen is Jan.Oh my gosh, I.
Thought it had like a millisecond.
What's vague about it? What's vague about it?
Maybe there's like a a golden ticket reward in there where you
could win. Like an autographed piece of
(01:44):
memorabilia from the set. One in 1000.
Chess kits. Has a golden ticket.
Golden Ticket. Yeah, Charlie Kern over here,
dude. Oh yeah, sorry, I jumped the
gun. No, that's OK.
I'm with it and I like that one the most.
I was going chess, but I was going ebook.
OK oh chess book all day bro. That's a valuable audience, 100%
(02:06):
Oh my gosh. So.
Funny. Well, how do we get to 20 KA
month though? I mean, this is just going to be
a Facebook ad. Just Facebook.
Ad straight up dude and then thething that I like it I want a
recurring on the back and so it's like anyone that buys that
is a very specific group of people and so it's like cool
launch a little paid Facebook community for it and be like
(02:27):
Yep, these are office lovers that love chess.
This is your. People.
Like. Come hang out, learn chess, do
your thing. Oh, I did.
You have cameos from the the people in there.
Who's the guy that's on Cameo? He does so.
Many bumgardner. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Imagine you just pay him to givechess tips.
Yeah, you just on Cameo. Like idiotic chess tips.
(02:51):
Yeah, dude, he's just like explaining different moves and
stuff. That'd be a phenomenal ad.
Are you kidding dude? That would be just immediate
face recognition. Ramp.
So good, so good. Why don't you describe what
happened with that for those that haven't seen that?
Yeah, so Ramp, I don't know if they did like a launch or if it
was just like a a random ad campaign, but they put him in
like a glass office box somewhere and he just like sat
(03:14):
there for like 8 hours messing around in the office all
promoting Ramp. So cool.
What do you think he got paid for?
That can't have been that much, right?
I put it out like 100. That much, really.
Yeah, yeah. Wow.
Like, I don't think he got paid millions.
I also don't think he got like 10 grand.
OK, I was thinking closer to 10.Grand, really, I don't know what
(03:37):
his cameos go for. And it's like travel and like,
you know, like meteorites and, you know, like all of that sort
of stuff. Like I'd put it closer to 100.
I'm looking up his cameo cost 195 bucks for personal video.
For like what? That's like a minute.
Average video length minute 22. That's good living, man.
(03:57):
Attracts dude. He has 6000 reviews which means
he's surely had 10s of thousandsof customers.
Yeah, he's I. Heard he's the highest paid
cameo. Actor I had I heard the same.
It's crazy. You just pop on there.
Sorry dude, 200 bucks an ad creative.
You're like dude teach them about this chess movie.
You just give him an outline. All.
(04:19):
Right. Be so funny.
I mean, that one's a little costly, cuz we're gonna have to.
You got inventory, you got ads, you got to start any econ
business getting to 20 KA month,you gotta be moving units in
product, you gotta move units. We can make a digital chess
version. Why not bro?
100% an iPhone app that you playwith your friends, yes.
Right Vibe code, yes. Dude 100% that's the interesting
(04:42):
part now is like with the vibe code stuff, you really can go
launch these little micro SAS products pretty easily.
I I think the challenge will be.That they will like.
Come and go, right? Like, I think that you can like,
blow one up, but like, the barrier to entry is getting
lower. And so it's like a little bit
more challenging to like, turn that into something that's like
(05:03):
truly sustainable. I think a lot of people think
that they can go and do that to like, set and forget.
They're like, I'm gonna get thisthing to 20.
I'm guilty of that. I'll get it to 20.
And it'll just, like, exist in perpetuity.
That'll never be the case. It's like the thing will require
more and more and more and more to just continue to grow.
Always. And so I always, anyone that
(05:24):
pops on calls me and is like, I want to launch this, this and
this. And then I'll just like have
this passive portfolio of like 3apps that I can just go F off
and do whatever. And I'm like, dude, like if it
was that easy, everyone is goingto compete with you.
And so like, you have to continue to get better.
And so I just try to. Figure out like that kind of
balance. I think going back to the
original prompt of like quarter $1,000,000 a year businesses.
(05:46):
And I think the, the one additional side of the box that
I want to add to it is one person, right?
Like if you don't want any employees, you want to make a
quarter $1,000,000 a year, like where do you live?
Like where do you, what do you want to do the main stuff?
So like, let's think boxes, right?
So like there's, there's 2 two boxes.
(06:07):
One is digital broad stroke box,right?
You're talking everything from software to E com to I'd even
give like agency, riot, freelancer, like that sort of
world. And then you have.
Physical, which is much more local, like pressure washing or
stump grinding or any of those sort of things.
(06:30):
And so a lot of that comes down to like personal preference and
skill level, right? Like if you're a dad of three
kids in Dallas, TX and like friends with a bunch of people
and have a really good local community, like be pretty easy
to launch a service business kind of around just your area,
right? Like I do car washing on the
weekends. Or you know.
(06:52):
The one that it's funny, the onethat I saw that was super
interesting was garage clean outs.
Have you seen? Have you seen?
Yeah, Gary Vee talking? About that.
Yeah, yeah. And I was like, that's awesome.
I think that the other guy that does the custom garage storage
that you interviewed and so there's a bunch like if you if
you wanted to be like super heavy cash flow quickly at
service, right? Like the issue with E com on the
(07:14):
digital side or even with software is like you have to
actually really good at customeracquisition.
If you're charging $8 a month for something because to get to
20, let's just say easy math again, like say you're charging
10 bucks a month to get the 20 K, you have to be able to
acquire 2000 customers, right? Which generally, unless you have
a big audience or have the intention of going and building
(07:36):
1, which just will take time, you're generally looking at an
ads game, which on an 8 dollar $10 a month subscription, have
fun losing money for your first year because you're just, you're
probably not going to get the CAC to where you want it to be.
And so a space that I really like and I think more people
should kind of try to to live inis like that 500 to $1000 a
(07:58):
month per customer world becauseit's meaningful enough from a a
dollar amount that like you could get to 20 pretty quick.
It's too demoralizing to sell something for 40 bucks a month.
You're like, dude, 200 more of these right?
It's. Tough versus like you know the
garage clean out guy like if he's charging 700 bucks 700
(08:20):
bucks it's like all right he needs to do 1 garage clean out a
day and he's making yeah he's chilling he's making 21 right I
mean it's. Like him on the pod?
Let's go. That's awesome.
And it's like anyone can go and do that.
Like literally I could wake up tomorrow and be like, dude, F
everything that I'm doing. Like I'm just going to clean
(08:43):
garages out for four hours a dayand like vibe.
Like I'm. Going to make my money I'm going
to like I'll work for four hoursin the garage, I'll answer
emails and do lead Gen. activities for an hour. 2 hours
like you're working 6 hours a day.
You're making 20,000 bucks a month.
It's like very simple living andyou have the option to go and
(09:06):
expand that. Sure.
Like hey. Hire people.
My cousin wants to get in on this.
He hates his job. Like I'll pay him $400.00 a
garage clean out whenever I haveoverages and like right like
stair step your way up. And I think people just like
really get caught in this, like I want to build a SAS or like
one of these things because there's way more upside.
(09:27):
Obviously, if you're going to gothrough the pain of
entrepreneurship, it's really easy to try to to like create
this reward for yourself, which is like multi $1,000,000 cars
and yachts and houses. And I was super guilty of that
of like, this sucks. And so like I need to.
Put a Lamborghini. On the finish line here to like
help me get through the pain of it, but it's also like you could
(09:49):
also just go make a quarter $1,000,000 in any location that
has like a reasonable populationon little stuff like that.
That garage business is recurring too, because that
garage ain't going to stay cleanforever.
Like a yearly spring clean out. Literally.
Dude, let me connect. Can we do the word generator
again? A. 100%.
Let's add a little variable. OK, OK, let's do this.
(10:11):
So let's I'm going to share my screen.
I'm going to go to randomwordgenerator.com,
whichisagreat.com, like phenomenal, itsagreat.com
because they made it a great.com, right?
Most people look at that and they're like 03 words, 15, 15
letters. Like how are you going to
monetize that? Well, he is, he's doing great.
Let's do this. Let's both come up with an idea.
(10:32):
It doesn't have to be first to the idea wins.
Let's both come up with an idea and then I'm going to open
Claude Chechbt, whatever and I'mgoing to give it no context and
say objectively which idea is better and why?
OK, we'll have. To do all three of these.
Yeah, we you have to incorporateeach of those 3.
Words. All right, let's try it.
OK, here we go. And we're not going to edit
(10:53):
this. We're not going to remove the
time. That's fine.
You just have to trust us. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right, You ready? You watching?
Yeah, I'm ready. You got that latency delay.
I got a .2 second edge on you here.
Yeah, I'm ready to go all. Right here we go.
Philosophy. Acceptable Steel.
Oh man, Steel's. Off dude, I could have
(11:14):
definitely gone deep on on philosophy.
Acceptable all the way through. Acceptable.
All right, I got an idea. Go.
It's going to be like a a community, kind of like Ryan
Holidays Stoics community. Of like.
Blue collar dude, 34 year old dudes that work in steel
(11:36):
manufacturing, whatever. And it's it's going to be like
around philosophy. It's going to be like Marcus
Aurelius, like Socrates, all that.
It's going to be dudes like us that wouldn't normally care
about philosophy, but that do. It's going to be a community
just like this, the Stoicism community and now acceptable.
How do you work acceptable into it?
(11:56):
That's how society views these guys.
That's the chip on your shouldermarketing angle where it's like
no one respects. The world thinks you're an
idiot. Yeah.
Oh, what? What's the adjective for you?
Joe Blow working in a steel millin Philadelphia.
Acceptable. Yeah.
Joe's acceptable. No, no, Joe knows Socrates.
Joe's know it. Joe is more refined than
(12:19):
acceptable. He's better than acceptable.
For $79 a month, you can join another community.
You can join this community of other quote UN quote acceptable.
And that will be like the T-shirt.
Yeah. Acceptable.
Like a kind of like a I am accepted or like a yeah, They're
like, I don't know. What do you think?
I'm not going to be able to beatthat, you know, come on.
(12:41):
Like, well, the, the moment you started stalking, I was like, Oh
yeah, that's, that's what we're.Rolling, I know.
Then your mind goes. For I was like, oh.
Thinking for yourself. Right.
Yeah. 100%, yeah, that's the. That's like the one that makes
the most sense here. Objectively, you're better at
this than me. A third word.
Makes it. Hard dude.
And maybe maybe I'm saying that as a cop out, but like the third
(13:04):
is like, dude. Philosophy and acceptable.
I'm in. Yeah.
Steel that's. I'm also in such an e-book brain
that I'm like, I just write a book about it.
Yeah, like. Why not just write a book like?
Yeah, blue collar Stoics. How to find peace?
(13:24):
In your blue collar career. I like that.
How to find meaning while you'restringing railroads or whatever,
you know, like whatever they do I.
Don't we don't know what we're talking about?
No idea. But I don't know anything about
divorce and I can still make money on it, so like, hey.
That's. Right, like I bet you I could
(13:45):
sell blue collar stuff. I fixed thousands of iPhones and
I hated every single one of them.
Yeah, but that's OK. Yeah.
But you know what? Dude, I accept you.
Oh. Thank you.
I accept you. Thank you.
You know that's an acceptable. You are enough.
You are that's dude. There's a couple of signs around
here. Billboards.
You are enough. Only in LA.
(14:06):
You know dude, you know what? We're all about that mental.
Health. You know what, Sam?
I reject that notion that you are enough.
OK, I'm going to take the opposite side of that.
You're not enough. You're not there yet.
I'm not enough. You're not enough.
We're still working on it. We're a work in progress.
Always give me a T-shirt that says you are enough with a line
through it. This says work in progress.
How about that? Never done and you're?
(14:27):
Accepted at the same time. That's the new.
One we love you how you. Are But that doesn't lead to
complacency. Dude like just like one of the
the leaders in my church said. He says come as you are, but
don't expect to stay as you are.Yes, love how?
About that love, love. That's sick.
You guys want to write a book? He has, He has.
That's awesome. Any other like fun growth hacks
(14:49):
or crazy stories? Any hummingbirds?
Dude our your Hummingbird video.It's got 240,000 views dude.
Yeah, it's great, dude. It's because I broke down.
What, like it's selling sugar, dude.
Like it's not. How many conversations have you
and I had like that? That's just another.
Tuesday, it's funny. I'll talk to people and they'll
be like, I saw you on the Current and I was like, dude,
you should see our text threats like.
(15:10):
These pods started just. Because we would sit.
In the office and talk this exact same way.
Like there was no. They're like, do you guys plan
it? No.
Like no. This episode, full transparency,
was the most. Planned thing.
Ever. And it was literally, Yeah, I
was going to say it was. Literally 3 minutes before it
started. Yeah, it's.
Like what are we? Talking about this.
Cool. Which I don't know if we've done
(15:32):
a great job of holding to by theway, but if we can it.
Works. Hey Mohammed.
Mohammed, fix it in post. Fix it in post.
Make this so. Funny, I've been thinking more
about that macro trend, like I think getting people to take
action, lower the bar of success, make things simple and
just doing it I think is is a win.
(15:52):
Like it's the moment you make your first dollar for yourself,
you will feel it here. So don't delay that anymore.
You could go sell something on Facebook Marketplace and be
like, wait a second, I just flipped this thing that spent I
spent $100 on and I sold it for 140.
And you just start to like rewire that side of it.
And then the other piece of it, which is funny.
(16:13):
It's like I tell people like we'll talk and it's you get paid
for shiny objects syndrome, right?
Like you get paid to run this show and talk about.
All of these like, fun new things and all of.
It, which is awesome and behind every shiny object to make it
meaningful is an absolute metricbleep ton of work.
(16:37):
And when you hit that work, don't stop working.
Don't switch to the next shiny object that's fun for that first
two weeks because it'll end up turning into work.
If it's working, double down. Keep running at it.
I think is more valuable to hearthen like here's how I set up my
ad account to like drop my Cpl. by 6% right?
(16:58):
Like most people don't even get to the spot where they get to
have that conversation. With that said, Shiny object #72
is local, local newsletters, dude.
Because of like, if you're stuck, you don't know.
If you don't know what to do right now and you're like, I
want to do something but I don'tknow what to sell or whatever.
(17:23):
Start with audience. I tweeted it the other day.
I was like, there's no doubt in my mind that almost every
business on the planet can startas some form of a media company,
whether that's a blog, a newsletter, A TikTok account,
any of those things. So it's like, if you don't know
what to do, I promise that you can make money in any industry
(17:46):
ever. What do you like?
You love cars? Cool.
Just start talking about cars. Do a newsletter on cars like
just talk about that thing that you.
Love Meet. People that are also interested
in that thing and then sometime you'll be like, Oh my goodness,
I just saw an ad for a tint shoplocally.
(18:09):
What if I sold these leads to tint shops and you'd be like,
well I'll run ads for right likelet's try that thing is right
and so. It's like.
If you don't have something that.
You feel super passionate. About from a from a business
perspective, if you're like, yeah, just like garage cleaning
sounds interesting. Pressure washing sounds
interesting. Like anything local, like that's
(18:30):
kind of like as a human where I'd rather rather be and like,
what I'd rather do is work with my hands and like be hands on in
the community and all of that. Sweet.
Start a local newsletter. Lauren and I have ours.
We're at 3200 Subs one people hit us up asking for to promote
their stuff, which like I'm not really trying to monetize it
like that, so I'll just promote them for free.
(18:50):
Like if they hit me up like thislady was like my cousin runs the
dry cleaner. Can you shout them out?
It's like, yeah, sure, like we'll do it.
But the moment that I'm like, you should see all the domains I
own now where I'm like I own South Bay carpetcleaning.com, I
own South Bay bookkeeping.com. I own right.
Like a bunch of these things are, I was like, wait a second,
like, dude, I could go and turn on anything that I want on the
(19:12):
back of that. And it's just because I have
that asset and I think more. People should.
Just start to have an asset and that's an.
So easy bro. Like my?
Tik Toks are literally. Like.
Are you a TikTok? I started posting Tik toks on on
the newsletter page like last week.
It's not like 100 followers. It's super easy.
It's B roll of the ocean and me being like the 10 best bars in
(19:34):
Hermosa and it's just like listing them out.
It's like 100. Followers like.
And I'm getting follows from allthe restaurants, right?
Like there's Realtors that are following and then all of a
sudden, yeah, all of a sudden you're like, wait a second.
Like there's movement. There's.
Progress there's. Like you're starting to feel
that and it's building this asset that you can use to go
launch literally anything like, and I've had that thought.
(19:54):
I was like, what are the cheapest things I can go buy a
pressure washer? Why would I not go promote that?
Like and just see. Let me get this idea out.
You got me an idea. Go.
When you said South Bay carpetcleaning.com do what?
What are we talking about? Why doesn't someone go build an
agent that scrapes, not scrapes,but just looks up every city
(20:14):
name in America by population and then every home service
industry by commonality and thenlooks up, you know, New York
City dentist taken, New York City chiropractor taken and just
goes down the the line and starts buying up all the domain
names that are not taken. And you're going to find pretty
soon you own chicagolandscaping.com.
(20:35):
Who would have thought that's available, But how many people
have bots that are looking for that?
And then but you're also going to own like Buck crack, Texas,
you know, wood floorcleaning.com.
Which is like paperless. Worthless, but you could set up
parameters where it's like if it's over X characters, don't
buy it, if it's over X syllablesdon't buy it, if the city
population is under 100,000 people don't buy it.
Like what are we talking about? You could sell access.
(20:56):
To that I have a handful that I own that are those.
I bet you do. Yeah.
I've got a couple. Pride and joys, dude.
I have higher losangeles.com andhighernewyork.com and so it
would be like job boards for biggeos.
Think super interesting idea andyou just sell the leads is the
nice part. You don't have to go launch it.
Like I know a guy that has a carpet cleaning business here.
(21:17):
Like the plan is not for me to go clean dudes carpets.
The plan is for me to be like, hey, I charge this guy 800
bucks, yo. Jim.
I know you charge 600. Dude, can I tell you in a domain
name I have my eye on that's ridiculously expensive?
Yeah, it's for sale as a premiumdomainname.com. 250 grand.
I offered 150, they said no. I offered 170.
(21:39):
They said no. They basically said we know what
we have. Tell me that's not a good name.
High ticket course. Yeah.
How many AI consultants? And then when I say consulting,
I mean implementation and automation agencies, right?
Yeah, 100%, dude, 100%. It's a good one.
It's just built in. It's just built in.
It's just like so. It's just so.
There it's relevant. It's tidal wave.
(22:01):
It's the same with pay per call,right?
I was like pay per call dot IO, like this is what we do.
It's straight up and it's like. It's a win dude.
It's a. Hedge on the future?
And that's what it's going to be.
I mean, you see, what's that dude's name from?
He was like Morning Brew or whatever, Alex Lieberman or
whatever. And it's like.
Mackenzie for AI that's. What are you doing?
(22:23):
I'm using one domain for that divorce thing but.com is for
sale for like 10 grand. Oh, that's good.
That pay for itself in one lead.I mean, it could.
I know, I know. That's International lawyers was
10. Grand.
Yep, it's just. There's so much opportunity out
(22:43):
there. Dude.
And that's the issue. But then every single
opportunity turns into a metric F load of work on the back.
And they're like, I know I already have seven of those.
Yeah, like I have 7 metrics tonson my back already.
And so it's like, somebody should do it.
Yeah, always my somebody should do it.
(23:04):
Go make your it. Someone will.
It's a matter. Of time.
Someone go make your 20 grand a month dude, I promise you can.
Dude, let's close it out with this.
Yep. I want to do one more random
word. Generator.
I knew dude. I knew you.
Were about to do. That and I was like, dude,
another one of these things, hear me out.
Showing off at this point. No, no, no.
No, I want to change it, so I'm not.
I'm going to set a 30 second timer.
(23:27):
I have it 2 words, 6 letters or less.
Yep. OK.
And we're not going to say a word for 30 seconds.
OK, you ready? So I can't, we can't ruin it.
I'm going to click it right. Now I don't have a timer, but
yeah. I've got I'm going to switch
over to a timer screen. All right, here we go, lounge
full play. I got an idea.
(23:52):
I feel like we're thinking like the same thing.
It's only one way to find out. Should we stop it early?
I mean 7. Seconds.
I've got mine. Like I know, I know what I'm
launching. Dude.
I'm launching A nightclub specific marketing agency.
Full lounge, baby. You're full lounge, we're making
sure the whole thing. That's good.
(24:13):
Full lounge. That's the so, dude.
Sometimes the idea is the name first.
This is a perfect example. Like, dude, you're not.
We're not reinventing the wheel.This is the marketing industry.
There's a million them out there, but the name makes the
idea. That is what Unlimited Content
was. I saw that domain for sale and I
was like, dude, an SEO agency that's super focused on a
content side and then we bought it and launched it and here we
(24:35):
are. It is the name Dude.
Your idea wins your idea, your idea wins.
So my idea is not even thought out yet, but I was thinking of
airport lounges, like airport lounge, an app or a directory
where you could like, because sometimes lounges are full.
Like airport lounges are full. I've got a card, I've got access
(24:56):
and it's full, right? So maybe it's like it only shows
you ones that are not full or it's like a.
So that you don't need to go to the airport 2 hours early so you
can sit in the lounge if you can't get in anyways.
Or maybe because there's all kind like there's American
Airlines, there's Delta, there'slike non airline owned lounges.
Maybe it aggregates all of them and for like a ridiculous price.
(25:16):
Maybe like pay per access instead of like a monthly fee
instead of having to have an Amex Platinum or whatever, It's
just like. AI feel like there is an app
similar to that. It's kind of like I had a
cancelled flight. I got 7 hours in this airport.
I'll pay $200 to chill in a lounge.
I did like the American Airlines1.
I spent 8 hours in one and the Admiral.
Love this. And I was like, thank God they
(25:38):
had a shower, dude. Let's prompt this out.
OK? I'm going to log in to Claude
because it doesn't know me as well as ChatGPT.
I don't want it to be fast. Come on.
Yeah. I mean, I'm not going to tell
who's in the. Game, dude.
I know, right? Hold on.
I'm logging in. I just refreshed my cash, so all
right, I'm going to share my screen.
(25:59):
OK? And you're going to prove this
prompt before I hit enter. I'm telling you right now, I'm
hedging my bets. Your idea is better.
Here's what Claude thinks. I agree.
Grade these two biz ideas from one to 10.
OK, one an app that allows you to buy one time access to
(26:21):
airport lounges to a marketing agency that specializes in bars
and nightclubs. Yeah.
And keeping them full and busy and the unique, unique selling
(26:42):
proposal of the agency is the name.
What was it full? Lounge.
Full lounge as in fulllounge.com?
Could I prompt that any differently?
Now you're chilling. I kind of feel like it's going
to vote for me because it's going to, it's like think that
(27:02):
mine's more unique. Yeah, right.
Well, and that's that's what I was about to say is like what's
the parameter right. So like.
Based on it being likely to work.
Yeah, I'm down with that. So you have a success parameter,
you have a speed to cash flow parameter, you have an ease of
marketing or like cost of acquisition parameter, right.
Like there's all these variablesto consider, but like you could
(27:24):
have a much bigger business on one on yours, right?
But like it would. Cost.
It's hard. And you'd have to spend a lot of
money on marketing and partnerships with all the
lounge. Like it would be hard, right?
But like, you could make it hugeor you could just go stack 20
grand a month like with 20 restaurant nightclub.
(27:47):
Yep. Clients that pay you 1000 bucks
a month. So grade these two business
ideas from one to 10 based on which is most likely to get to
profitability fast for the lowest relative amount of time,
money and effort. That good.
All right, all right. Claude, what you got for us?
Analyzing airport lounge app market satirization.
(28:08):
Yeah, here you go. It's called Lounge.
Buddy lounge, buddy dude. Lounge, that's the thing.
Lounge buddy. Dude that's the app that I was
thinking of. It's.
Lounge, you win, you win. Look at this, I get a three out
of 10, you get an 8 out of 10. You can start today with a
laptop and a phone. First client immediate
profitability bars desperately need foot traffic can improve,
(28:28):
prove ROI. Domain name is clever and
memorable. Marketing niche specialization
makes you expert versus general agencies.
Can land first client in one to two weeks if you hustle.
Yes. And mine just says significant
upper in capital partnerships, extremely competitive long sale
cycle which all those. Are low margin all of it.
Dude that was fun. That's.
Hey Mohammed, since I lost this one, edit this last one.
(28:51):
Yeah, right, dude. Where can we find you, Sam?
On Twitter. I'm Sam Thompson all.
Right, what do you think? Please share it with a friend
and we'll see you next time on the Kerner office.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
