Business Ideas

A small, rotating apparel brand where every drop is a phrase I actually use. Not slogans someone focus-grouped — things I've said so many times that people quote them back at me. Launch with three:

- "I Disagree." — the universal response. Works in boardrooms, family dinners, and comment threads. - "Your Negativity Disgusts Me." — deployed ironically at the right moment, it's lethal. - "Tripolar." — for the people running three versions of themselves at once. You know who you are.

The vibe: Heavyweight tees, one phrase per drop, mono type, no logo. Treat each catchphrase as its own mini-brand. Limited runs, numbered, sold until gone.

Why it works: The best merch isn't brand merch — it's in-joke merch. Catchphrases travel because the wearer already sells them. Every phrase has a built-in audience of people who've heard me say it and nodded.

Build stack: Printful or a local Portland printer → Shopify storefront → drop on Twitter. First drop is a test; if it moves, open the phrase submission loop (people DM catchphrases, best ones go into rotation).

Expansion: Hats, hoodies, a coffee mug for "I Disagree." — that one writes itself. Eventually a rotating "phrase of the season" model. Revenue is secondary; distribution + brand is the point.

Smart glasses that overlay a digital hoop in any space. White dots on the ball enable vision-based shot tracking — arc, form, release, follow-through. Coaching layer gives real-time feedback on whether moves are being executed correctly. Target: solo shooters, youth players, trainers.

Cheap, deployable physical net that catches shots and returns the ball, paired with AR glasses that render a digital hoop/rim with correct physics. Counts makes/misses against the virtual hoop. Portable, no permanent installation needed. Combines the solo-training convenience of a shot-return net with the accountability of a real hoop.

Multiple form factors worth exploring: - Office-chair seatbelt-style posture corrector - Magnet-based: embedded magnet in chair cover + wearable magnet in clothing, detects slouching via proximity - Best form: smart undershirt/underwear with embedded sensors that measure spine posture, shoulder alignment, and sitting pressure. Feeds an app that tracks posture over time and nudges when slouching.

Take a blog article and instead of "spinning" it - break it down into its smallest components. Phrases like a caveman might say. Then you can rearrange those phrases into a new order and then start to rebuild the article from scratch.

The shoe design AC thing can be the same tech/valve as the dog squeaky toys

Sold for one month and as people buy price comes down. Transparent like everlane. Crowd funded like kickstarter.

comes in a sheet where you can paint little textured circles and put it on the wall rather than having to paint the wall iteslf and make mistakes if color is wrong or you cant blend it. Would look like the wart remover type products where you could paint on the sheet then apply to a bunch of spots.

Like how you pack to move, or wrap an injury. A six inch wide roll of fabric that is washable that you can wrap around your dog when he goes in mud or in snow etc.

When the door is shut and pulled tight the user creates the pressure to inflate the seal around the door. Could be a little runner along the floor under the door that runs all the way around the jam.

Invent a better "post" that can be inserted into the ground much easier, and cheaper and more elegant. Least amount of materials. Almost hidden in the plants.

Undersell godaddy etc to get people into the form. Then you can create complete customer records on these people to sell as leads

put content for free online, people donate to the fund, fund does the trading and provides a return to investors in some unregulated way. Might be a club like the fyre festival guy did. Instead of an algo, you could have people vote on the fund thesis. Each trading variable (like RSI) could have public settings and be voted upon and publically commented on by the members.

Grand canyon, you could text/share your pictures to a shared cloud. Then when people get inside the geofence, that picture could become available to them to see/share. Essentailly you could croud source everyone's cell phone pictures from that area/place into an ever growing gallery.

It would be a nice metal/plastic looking triangle to put on the back of an ipad. Warns people the device has "third party device tracking provided by..." this just scares people into believing they can't steal it. False sense of security sold to business owners.

When dry they fold up, but when it rains they get heavier and fold down covering the plants. Could be some absorbant fabric that weighs it down and folds it down.

this allows for socks outside or in the garage etc. Step on the base and it connects to your foot. Could also just be a string/thong type material as well

You could make the "bell" of the glass interchangible like lightbulbs from the base. Could have different base designs and bell designs. Storing and transporting delicate wine glasses sucks.

Imagine if you type in a URL and it just scrapes the text/h1/images and gives you an analyis of keyword density, if you have alt text on images or links. You can then set/build all of those values with a little live spreadsheet type interface which allows you to type it in and watch the progress bar of the page improve. At the end, you can export your updates and they would get presented in a way where a developer or content person could execute on them.

Stick in focus keyword, AI a title tag and meta description, hit an API to get search volume, check other pages on a domain that reference the focus keyword and usggest links, spit out a word doc or PDF that can be sent to a client.

Add in all your details, let other people add in events, you can approve it

Like a rough sketch that represents the clients ideal. This is then just a lead gen source to sell to a local builder

For example, a hole below it where your. It hurts to cross your legs and sit for a man but it helps with posture

The same way we made the quote widget for boss, you could make a calculator for all types of industries and have people embed it. Crowd source the line items that people add to the site.

Make them super light, safe and easy to install with basically fake materials. The "epoxy granite" version of a nice mirror. DiGiorgio had that giant mirror and it was hard to hang.

If you take the shoes bases off then you would be in socks, or you coould connect a different base. Go to the mail? Snap into the outside base. Playing ping pong in the basement? Snap on the inside base.

Put bad thing in box, set timer, doesn't open till x date or time. Could set a series of intervals. You could also include a financial component as well, swipe credit card and charge for use/opening. Or track the time it remains closed and reward yourself. Send app notifications to help with dopamine loss? You are doing good! Here are some points!

Would compete with the typical inflatable air matress. The same type of thing that rock climbers sleep on... make a home version of that.

It is like a wework and you could run it on donations. Get the lawyers CPAs to pay rent there, give the enrepreneurship space away for free

Load up the truck with the 100 most common things that home owners need and then do delivery/repairs via mobile app

A light weight frame in a circle could support adding or removing various blocks to create the weights you wanted. This way you could just sell the frames as a one piece and then easy to fill blocks at home as other pieces.

They can start with a balance and have to manage it with their choices. The model would provide various risk / reward events like stock market declines, promotions at work, tax changes

So team colors etc and brands. Have metal dies to cut them out to size/spec upon ordering. You could order say "Nike air max xyz custom insoles. Or even for schools. Even better custom adhesive stickers that can get applied to the existing insole and then user can cut it out

Put the turbines in those tubes and let one big turbine that is more like a rotating cork screw like archemedies screw that would be large enough to not damage wildlife. More like a big wind turbine in the water.

If you pull the string, you can flip a lid or screen and otherwise clean your cutters by launching all the bullshit out of it. It could work like a gold mining water wheel and collect the heavier sediment at the bottom.

Put the solar pannels out in the field and you can run batteries/wires underground to disturb the birds. Panels mount on the line posts and defend a particular area.

Don't ask, just create it and email them to check it out and tout its benefits (speed, design, contact forms, branding)

There needs to be an estimator type app for that to price it and buy it. Company would buy discounted gold by weight and accumulate it. All the websites and little stores need to be crushed.

Activated charcaol or baking soda. You can process say douglass fir and make a fine charcoal powder. Then distribute this as a recurring revenue kit via shopify sales. Standard wood, heart wood, hard wood. With chemical process or without. 3d print a device to distribute it. Sell them the recurring kits of powder each week.

Fly a sufficiently powered drone carefully, it can follow the roof line deploying product evenly. Poly cam/lidar for the path. Approve the path. You don't need "roofing" insurance now. You can program the home owners successful path and save it. This becomes a roof maintenance company you pay monthly for. Blow the roof, deploy the moss solution on the roof, clean the cutters.

Agency gets the data onboarding, makes their own plan, on what to do/promote, delivers a report at the end.

For example "most important first" or "30 min sprints" that could then get synced to your calendar and measured. User just adds in generic human sounding tasks and the AI fleshes it out, chunks it out, tasks it, schedules it.

Helping deborah get all of that done. Organized by AI. Synced in the cloud. One single drive and a scanner hardware connected to local wifi.

For example instead of buying boss pdx hoodies and t shirts we should just keep buying "vests" that are branded and help construciton workers do things.

Vibe code the entire thing without any of the users. Just like say "solar power rocks"

Sell to people in their 40s and 50s to help aging parents with all their stuff. A set up fee, a monthly fee, a maintenance fee for changes/upgrades. Documents all their stuff. Old person jarvis.

One local mini. The safe and secure way. Local inference local cloud. Local backup. If 10 lawyers like Colleen work on contingency fee then how fast can they work v how many cases. Research. Org. prep work. All the paralegal functions.

It would detect those "quick question" type emails and then handle them on the side bringing them into the tar pit.

The big checks I have is because I write emails. All these people pay me for email. I need to train that bot, give it to other people. No one can know the "Lucas" email method yet I know it second hand and can give it to anyone, but shouldn't share it. I should rent it out locally on discord to other entrepreneurs. I can then also offer it as a course and or rent it. "Email on autopilot for your brands, businesses and personal life" is a massive product. Zero inbox.

Jets only and articulating arms can use LiDAR to position themselves relative to the car's location. You could probably do the whole thing mechanically and just have the car drive through a series of "wheels" that would physically ad-apt to the shape of the car. Roll up with the app, get a rinse. Water only might skirt various regulations.
