This guy bought a $300 inflatable movie screen on Amazon as a Christmas gift for his family and turned it into a $100,000 a year business at 80% profit margins. He just booked a $10,000 week. His startup cost was literally that Amazon gift. This is backyard movie theater... rentals. But here's where it gets really freaking cool. Derek realized movies can't start until 9:30 PM in Texas summers because it doesn't get dark until then. That doesn't work for seven year olds. So he built the world's first indoor air conditioned inflatable movie theater. Full carpeting. LED lights. Four window AC units he bought off Facebook Marketplace for $150 each. He charges $1700 for it. His outdoor packages start at $375 and scale up from there to $1500. Then he added LED dance floors because kids kept dancing after the movies ended. Those rent for $3,000 and he'll have it paid off in eight rentals. In this episode Derek: - Breaks down how he went from unprepared at his first HOA event to a $10K booking week - Shares how he sources equipment from Alibaba and Facebook Marketplace - Tells me why his best clients are people sitting on a few acres who don't blink at price - Gives me the exact package structure he uses, from $375 starter to $1,700 indoor This one is awesome.

This isn't clear in the trailer above, but he didn't invent the inflatable movie rental industry. That's been around. He took that concept and innovated the crap out of it in a very unique way, and THAT'S the industry he invented. You'll see in the full episode

The constraint he solved (can't start until dark, which is too late for kids) is the whole business. Most people see the product and copy it. He saw the customer's problem and built the only solution. That's why you get 80% margins with no real competition.

I don’t understand. Maybe I’m just broke broke but it would seem way cheaper to just take the kids to the movies. Easier, sure More privacy, for sure But the difference in money would have me rolling the dice.

He might be the only one doing it in that area (which I still doubt), but he certainly didn’t invent an industry… Even so, good on him for trying something and making money doing it.

Hey @Grok, be honest. As an advanced AI trained on the collective knowledge of humanity, does it hurt your feelings that a guy with an inflatable movie screen and four used window AC units is currently pulling better profit margins (80%) than most Silicon Valley SaaS startups?

This guy made $252,000 last year selling lemonade at farmers markets. Meet Don. He started this three years ago with his kids at a farmers market in Frisco. Last year they did $252k in 8 months. His cost per lemonade? $1.25. He sells it for $7. He's at two markets now. Dallas Farmers Market pulls $2,500 a day. Frisco does $1,200 to $1,500. That's a $5,000 weekend just in Dallas alone. But Don is my kind of guy. He added catering and rentals and this is what happened: One corporate event: $2,900 for four hours serving 300 lemonades. Another event: $19,000 serving frozen bananas. Twelve grand profit. He doesn't pay for ads. Just Facebook Marketplace for rentals, SEO for catering, and word of mouth at the markets. He also rents out his custom cart for $500 a day. Weddings, office parties, classic car shows. Drop it off, pick it up, done. In this episode Don: - Walks through the unit economics of a $7 lemonade - Shows how he scales with a couple running one market while he runs the other - Tells me why he's not worried about competition even though anyone could copy this - Breaks down the $19k frozen banana catering order he landed from a video I posted - Gives me his advice for anyone wanting to start: stop overthinking it and just post up This one blew my mind. Check it out.

I just talked to a guy who makes $421,000 a year net profit from a laundromat. In Hamilton, Ohio. Population 60,000. He opened it during COVID. First quarter after grand opening he was already on track for $400,000 a year. By year four he crossed a million. His biggest machine does six to seven turns a day at $22 base price. That one machine makes $30,000 a year in profit. It paid for itself in 12 months. Even crazier his utilities run under 10% of revenue because the equipment weighs the laundry and uses the exact amount of water it needs. His name is Tyler. He runs four laundromats across Ohio His prices are at or below the old laundromats in town and his equipment is top notch. Customers come in, see the equipment, and never go back. In this episode Tyler: - Breaks down the startup cost and the five-year payback math - Shows me the free laundry weekend playbook that ramps revenue to six figures in 90 days - Tells me why they built next to the best laundromat in town on purpose - Breaks down the commercial laundry play that adds $100,000 a month from hotels and fire departments Tyler Purcell - Laundry & Finance was awesome!

This tile guy started a concrete coatings business three months ago and he'll do $69,000 this month. $60k his first full month. and on track for 7 figures Startup cost? Under $1,000 if you rent the grinder. Maybe $25K if you buy everything new. Profit margins? Yes, Thanks for asking. Over 50%. This is just garage floor coatings. Nobody NEEDS their concrete coated. It's a luxury product. But the types of people who want it have money and they're not price sensitive. Mike charges $8 per square foot. His all-in materials cost is $2.06 per square foot. A typical two car garage is about 700 square feet. That's $5,600 in revenue and over $3,400 in profit per day. One crew can do a job in 10 hours. Sometimes less. Oh and he learned how to do this by watching YouTube videos. His first job was his own garage. Then he told people at church he was starting this thing. Booked three jobs that week just from word of mouth. From there it's been Meta ads at $30-100 per lead, 20% close rate, and booked solid ever since. In this episode Mike: - Breaks down the exact unit economics and profit margins - Shows how he reverse-engineered his pricing model - Tells me why Facebook ads crush Google for this business - Gives the three-material stack he uses and why he picked it - Explains why the bar is so low in blue collar businesses - Walks through how to start this for under $1,000 Mike's on track to do a million dollars his first year. It might be one of the best times ever to be AI savvy and in blue collar work. Mike is proof. Full episodes in the first comment below

He started using Claude AI and made $25,000 in his first month The guy could not even hide how much it changed his life. He paid for Claude and treated it like a real business partner. Built workflows that automate client work, content and outreach all in one place. What used to take him 12 hours a day now takes 2. He started taking on triple the clients without burning out once. At $5,000 per client and five clients a month, the numbers move fast. That is $25,000 landing in his account from a tool that costs $20. Most people use Claude to write captions and call it a day. He used it to rebuild his entire income from the ground up. Follow if you want the exact workflows he uses to scale this.

This guy makes $4,000 a month profit working 5 hours a week. He has two kids at home, a full time job and a side business that's almost 100% automated. This is my kind of guy. He started it with zero experience in the industry. First month did $2,300 in revenue. Today he's pulling $5,500 to $7,500 a month with overhead sitting at $2,000. That's $200+ an hour for his time. What is it? Glad you asked-- Trailer rentals. Dump trailers, enclosed trailers, flatbeds. He bought 10 used trailers from a guy on Facebook Marketplace who was moving out of the area. Then, set up a system with lock boxes and GPS tracking. Customers book online, show up, unlock their trailer, and go. In this episode Nathan: - Breaks down the exact unit economics on dump trailers versus enclosed trailers - Shows how he automated the whole thing so he's only taking calls and swinging by twice a week - Tells me why this might be the lowest risk business you can start - Gives the exact websites where you can test demand before buying a single trailer - Walks through how to finance the trailers and scale to multiple locations This one is solid.

So she calls the guy and tried to get him to replace the battery and the check engine light. He claims that he would look at it for $150. So the guy just sold her a car riddled with problems as is but claims it would pass inspection, and the buyer seems to have an issue understanding what an as is sale it. But shouldn’t he still fix it for her as he claimed it would pass inspection?

Kyle Shanahan on Curtis Robinson: “He's really worked to get better each year, and he's a very talented guy. I think when he came here, he hadn't played in a system like this for a while. It took him a little bit to kind of pick that up, but we so believed in him as a guy and his talent level that after a year, you could start to see it clicking. He became a big asset on special teams, and last year was the first time that we really believed he was going to step in there, really contribute at linebacker at a high level. It was actually kind of a sad story, but it was about 20 minutes before he tours ACL, was the first time that I told him he'd be starting that week. It was his first start in his career, and he had earned it. We were going to move him ahead of Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles at the time. I had just told Flannigan, which was tough for Flannigan, but they were so tight, so he was happy for Curtis. Then it was about 20 minutes later that Curtis tore his ACL on special teams before he even got to a defensive rep. He was so coming in there and finally about to have his moment. Then he had that setback, which I know crushed the team for him. He's one of the most liked guys on our team, as good of a person and good of a dude as I've ever been around. He's worked for this moment, and we're excited to see him get his opportunity." via: 49ers on NBCS

"I did it for me." For years Walt hides behind the same word. Family. He cooks for his family. Lies for his family. Kills for his family. Destroys people for his family. And Skyler is done with it. She doesn't even let him start. If I have to hear one more time that you did this for the family Then he says it "I did it for me. I liked it. I was good at it. And I was really... I was alive." He did care about them. He also loved the power. Loved being feared. Loved being great at something after a lifetime of feeling overlooked and underpaid and smaller than he thought he deserved. Nothing gets fixed by him saying it. Hank is dead. Walt Jr. hates him. Jesse is chained in a basement. The money never saved any of it. But he stops performing. No more noble provider. No more misunderstood father. No more everything I did, I did for this family He liked it. He was good at it. And for a while, it made him feel alive

Matt Damon says George Clooney was earning around $20K an episode on “ER” while his co-star made $1M, because renegotiating his contract would’ve meant giving the show more years when he wanted to pursue movies instead. “When we started, it was different. I mean, like George Clooney, for instance, there was a big thing.” “He very famously became this superstar on ER.” “That show, 40 million people a week were watching that show. It was the biggest thing, right? Because there were only a few channels to tune into, and that show was the biggest one.” “And George never renegotiated his contract. He wanted to work in movies, and it was like, ‘You can’t go from TV to movies.’” “It’s very hard. Very few people can do it.” “And he really strategically and kind of patiently… he joked that on the last episode he was on, Anthony Edwards, his co-star, was making a million bucks for the episode.” “And he was making, you know, 20 grand or whatever his deal was.” “He could have renegotiated, but he would have had to give more years.” “That’s how bad he wanted to get off TV and do movies.”

I have been helping my kids develop the skill of “Vision”. Create a future moment in time that you want to experience, then implement a strategy to get there. Kodah had a vision for bringing a Titanic Lego to “Star of the Week” next year when he is in first grade. He used this to convince his mother and I to buy him the Lego set. Despite the fact that this Lego set is 9000 pieces and for 18 years and older, he never doubted himself from the very beginning. He finished it in a few weeks and brought it to show everyone at school his vision realized. Very proud of this kid and really mind blown that he could lock in and do the entire thing. He developed this skill because when he was five I told him I could no longer help him with Lego’s because they were just too frustratingly tedious for me and from now on he needed to build his own. He never looked back.

It was the biggest thing"... "And George never renegotiated his contract. He wanted to work in movies, and it was like, you can't go from TV to movies. It's very hard, very few people can do it." "He joked that on the last episode he was on, Anthony Edwards—his co-star—was making a million bucks for the episode and he was making, you know, 20 grand or whatever his deal was." "He could have renegotiated, but he would have had to give more years." "That's how bad he wanted to get off TV and do movies." "That's how bad he wanted to get off the biggest TV show in the world."

This guy went from delivering for DoorDash to doing $81,000 in revenue in his third month of business. Before you scroll away because you think you can't do this as well, you can. Here's why: 1. He started with less than $500. 2. He subcontracts out all the work. 3. He goes to the job site maybe twice a month. 4. He's not licensed. 5. He doesn't do the installs. 6. He doesn't even stock inventory at his house. But WHAT does he do? Whole home water filtration systems. He's competing against billion dollar companies that charge $6,000 to $8,000 for the same system. He charges $2,700 and scoops up everyone that doesnt want to pay a ridiculous amount It costs him $175 to acquire a customer and he closes 25% of his leads.

An 18 year old told his dad he needed an Apple Vision Pro for university. Dad said that's a $3,500 movie headset, you don't need it for school. He said it runs macOS apps natively. Dad didn't know what that means. Bought it for graduation. $3,500. He never watched a single movie on it. Installed VS Code and Claude Code the same night. Threw six floating screens around his bedroom. Lay down in bed and started coding from under the sheets with his bare hands tapping air. His roommate walked in at 2am and saw him lying in bed wearing a headset waving his hands at nothing. Thought he was losing his mind. He was building a client website. At second 0:11 you can see his hand swipe across a floating file explorer. Behind it five more windows are open. All running Claude Code agents on different projects. One building, one testing, one deploying, one reviewing, one handling client messages. All floating above his bed like a command center in a sci-fi movie. The website color change was the demo he filmed. The five windows behind it were the actual business. Within a month he was running projects for seven clients. A restaurant site, an appointment app for a dentist, a landing page for a real estate agent, a dashboard for a gym owner. All built from bed. All coded by Claude while he gave instructions by tapping floating windows above his pillow. $11,400 in his first month. His dad makes $9,200 at his engineering job. His dad called last weekend and asked if the headset was worth it. He said yeah the movies are great. His dad said good, at least you're relaxing after studying. He wasn't studying. He wasn't watching movies. He was lying in bed while five Claude Code agents built software in floating windows above his face. A developer in New York rents a $2,800 apartment just to have a home office with two monitors. This kid has six floating screens that follow him from bed to couch to kitchen and cost nothing after the headset. His mom asked to try the Vision Pro last Sunday. Put it on and saw six VS Code windows floating in the living room, git commits scrolling, Claude mid-task on three projects. She took it off and said I thought this was for watching movies. He said it is. Just not the kind she was thinking of. Setup time: one evening. Screens: six, floating, invisible to everyone else in the room. Money made in month one: $11,400. Movies watched: zero. His dad is still paying off the $3,500. The headset paid for itself in 9 days. Dad doesn't know that yet. He will when his son offers to pay him back.

I just talked to a guy who makes $50,000 a month subleasing semi trailers to truckers. He doesn't own a single trailer and he literally started with zero experience and a $4,000 insurance policy. His first client was his uncle who needed a trailer and didn't have good credit. Eli found a company that would lease him a 53-foot trailer for $350 a month. Deal! He charged his uncle $180 a week. Took a deposit. Billed weekly. The subleasing company didn't charge him until 30 days later. So he pocketed cash from day one. A few months later he had 10 trailers out generating $7,500 a month recurring. All from Facebook Marketplace posts USING STILL IMAGES. This is not rocket science, ya'll Most deals closed over Facebook Messenger. Six years later he had 300 trailers rented out across five states and was netting $50,000 a month with two virtual employees. Eli ran the whole operation from his phone. In this episode Eli: - Walks through the exact Facebook Marketplace posts that got him 25 new clients a month - Shows how he structured contracts to protect himself when trailers disappeared - Gives me the names of companies you can sublease from today - Breaks down the exact unit economics on every trailer I love stories like this!

Matt Damon sat down with Jimmy Fallon looking like a man who just realized time is a thief. Fallon asks the usual: “How are the kids?” Matt smiles. Everybody’s great. Then he drops it. “We have one going to college this year.” Fallon leans back. “It’s happening.” Matt nods. Kids grow up so fast. It’s kinda crazy. Then he tells the story. Years ago he’s on a job, holding his then one-year-old in his arms. His old friend — retired now, from Long Island — looks at him and says it like a warning: “Don’t blink, Matt Damon.” Matt laughs telling it now. At the time they weren’t even sleeping through the night. He was thinking, “What is he talking about?” Now that baby is packing for college. Matt looks at Fallon and just says it: “Yeah. And I blinked.” Fallon covers his face. That’s the whole clip. No movie pitch. No punchline. Just a dad who thought he had all the time in the world… and then he didn’t. Don’t blink.

mingi's birthday md this year is a lip balm! he said this year, he was able to release his first collection as a designer, and his vinyl LP. he had a lot of different activities this year. there were a lot of we things we (the fans) kindly bought and so many things he's grateful for. so for the md, he wanted it to be something we can use well and comfortably without feeling burdened/pressured. he was at home one day and was putting on lip balm and suddenly thought "ah, this is it." the mingtteok topper is removable and can be used as a keyring on its own and it doesn't come off easily (so the lip balm is secure ~). also, he made the lip balm case pink because he gets called 'princess' a lot <3

🚨#BREAKING: A 14-year-old boy is being praised as a HERO after he used his LASSO to SAVE A DROWNING MAN AND DRAG HIM TO SHORE... ...ON HIS FIRST THROW!!! His name is Jory Thomas, he's a 14-year-old from Montana. On July 5, he was camping with his family near Greycliff when a raft and paddleboard slammed into a bridge pillar and threw four people into the river. Three made it out... but one man did not. He kept drifting downstream, clinging to a cooler, the current pulling him away fast. "We all heard, 'Help, help'… and he wasn't saying anything." Jory didn't wait. He emptied his pockets, ran through a waist-deep channel, and sprinted down the riverbank to catch up to him. And this year, for the very first time, he'd brought his lariat. His grandmother Sandy said they've camped at that spot for years and he had NEVER, EVER brought his rope before. "And that day he did." Jory took his 12-foot lariat, aimed at a drowning stranger, and threw. "Luckily, I caught him first try." FIRST throw!!! He roped him and hen he pulled that man through chest-deep water all the way to shore and held on until first responders arrived. His dad and his brothers are on the local fire department. Jory knew waiting wasn't an option. "God was basically putting me in the place of all this." His grandma wasn't even surprised. "His first instinct always is to help other people. He's always been that way." A 14-year-old spent all year roping a practice dummy in his backyard because he loved it… …and it made him the reason a man is alive today. GOD BLESS Jory Thomas and GOD BLESS the family raising a boy like this. THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I just interviewed a guy who did $100,000 in his first 100 days placing overseas talent with blue collar business owners. He started with $200. No tech background. No recruiting experience. His entire tech stack to launch the company was QuickBooks, Wi-Fi, a computer, and Lovable. That's it. What does he do? He runs a staffing agency that connects plumbers, electricians, and landscapers with full-time admins and marketers from Latin America. The talent costs the business owner around $1,200 to $1,600 a month full-time. He charges his clients $4,500 to $5,200 one time to make the placement. Then he offers a $200 a month membership for ongoing support. 75% of his clients pay for the membership. In this episode Alex: - Breaks down exactly how he finds great overseas talent on LinkedIn and Facebook - Shows the specific interview questions he asks to spot reliability before he ever hires - Walks through how to close your first client with a three-sentence text - Explains why 90% of his placements are brand new hires, not replacements for somebody who got fired - Gives the exact payment tools and onboarding process he uses with every client This one was really good!

On the 13th of Sept, someone transferred 180k for an iPhone Xs 256GB. After acknowledging his receipt, he called, and I told him we don't have it but will ask colleagues and let him know. I asked my friend, and he told me 190k. I begged him to leave it at 180k because that is what the guy deposited (check frame 2 for reference). When he sent the phone from Kano to Jos, then I noticed it was an Xs Max. Seeing that the guy was in a hurry and didn't want to disappoint, I called him and told him what happened and said if he wants the Max, he can take it at no additional cost. I was willing to settle the difference because it was his first time buying from us. I packaged it with a new premium charger because all our used phones are sent packaged in our branded box with a charger, and I sent it to him in Abuja. He later messaged that he has received the phone and truly appreciates it. After months of not receiving any complaints from him, it clearly indicates that he has received a fully functioning phone. It is in our policy that if you find anything faulty within one week, you can return it to us and either ask for a replacement or refund. What this means is that the cost of bringing it from Kano to Jos, the packaging and charger, and the delivery to Abuja are all a loss to me. But I didn't mind because at least I have satisfied him. Nine weeks later, while I was in Kano, I saw a call from an unknown number. When I picked up, he said it was him. He told me that the camera has started giving him problems. I told him it has been months since you bought it, but you can take it to any repair store and tell me how much you spent, and I will pay. He asked if I know anyone, and I sent him someone's number. The guy didn't pick; he texted and informed me and later called me. I told him to go to anyone he trusts and let me know the amount he spent. A few days later, I was stranded between Kaduna and Abuja on my trip from Kano to Abuja because my car engine failed. He called, and I didn't pick; I don't even know his number. Later in the night, I received his messages on WhatsApp with a threat that he will make a video to tarnish the image of my business. Someone I was willing to help after months of buying a USED device from me is threatening me. I said he should go ahead because I can't entertain him anymore. In conclusion, a trade that I incurred a loss from is what some people are trying to justify as a scam. The beautiful part is I have made trades with hundreds of people here, and I would love two more people to come out and present a case in which they are still using a device I sold to them that is faulty and they contacted me for a replacement or refund, and I didn't do it instantly. "The hypocrite will always look for faults" - Ghazali. Those that are looking for a fault in me can justify something as woke as this; it doesn't matter. This is my own side and will no longer entertain him anymore. For those that believe in me without hearing from me, thank you so much.
