BM #7: Stickers

The current way we tell time is bad. The current calendar is bad. Timezones are awful. We also discuss how time can be valued differently for many different people. Finally, to make ourselves feel better, I also had the bright idea of digging into Kickstarter this episode - the treasure trove of fantastic ideas. We don’t mean any offense to the product makers, our discussions are from the face value of looking at your page.

Products we discussed:

  1. FREEDOM Backpack - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/giuseppedichiara/freedom-the-backpack-for-traveling-even-in-the-rain?ref=discovery_category_newest
  2. Flickz - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/515744943/flickz-a-better-way-of-going-to-the-movies?ref=discovery_category_newest
  3. Ad Messenger - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2139179294/ad-messenger?ref=discovery_category_distance

If you want us to do more Kickstarter discussions, let us know!

Stickers are dumb.

BM #6: Automated

Startups with a business model of only raising more VC capital. Companies that must be “too big to fall” and the upcoming rise of automation. Sprinkle in some movie theater ranting and you have Episode 6.

BM #5: Monopoly

Social media is fantastic, but it’s not a replacement for a traditional website for your business. That said, there are a lot of common mistakes that so many fall into when they launch their own site. And finally, if you’re looking to host that new site, why not consider Whole Foods’ owner Amazon for your hosting?

BM #4: Monetized

Advertising has become a nuisance in pretty much every area of tech. Shoutout to all the companies that cater to those that hate them with alternative revenue options, except those apps that want to charge you $6 per week for just offering a platforming game…

BM #3: Discourse

Managing a workspace on its own isn't easy, and the challenge only increases when you take it online and remote. We cover the challenges of keeping tabs on everything, the tools we use to get the job done, and provide some recommendations on how you can stay sane... mostly.
