This is part 1 of a two-part episode, come back next week for part 2.
I sat down with Michael Girdley (https://x.com/girdley) and we went back and forth pitching business ideas like it was a game show. Michael came loaded with a list of 15 ideas, and we talked through each one, from a browser plugin that detects AI-generated content to an AI that replaces $10K/day EOS consultants. We also got into fun and low-cost offline businesses like old-timey photo booths and gold-panning kiosks for malls, plus more strategic plays like a marketplace for forgotten businesses and a fund that offers minority buyouts to small business owners. We even explored how to reimagine EOS from the ground up to be fully AI-first. Lots of laughs, lots of frameworks, and tons of real opportunity in this one.
