Brian: Combine interests for extra attention.

Hi I'm Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live. And with me is…

Tyler: Hello my name is Tyler. I'm his son, Brian J. Pombo.

Brian: This is Tyler Pombo here.

And he is How old are you?

Tyler: I'm 7 years old, and I have a Mario I'm going to show, it's actually Lego Mario.

Brian: Lego Mario, okay.

What about it do you like?

Tyler: Yeah, like, if you put them on green Legos. It shows like, green, and it's electronic.

Brian: And so you could play games with them?

Tyler: Yeah, like there's a little pipe that you put them in, and that's just like the Mario, you have a time and you have to go really fast. You only have one minute to delay.

Brian: So it acts like the Super Mario games.

Tyler: Yeah.

Brian: So what what do you like, Do you like Legos, or do you like Mario?

Tyler: Both.

Brain: Okay, so both Legos and Mario.

So they took Mario which which came first, Legos or Mario?

Tyler: Legos.

Brian: Legos came first. You're right. And then Mario came out.

Tyler: So how you turn them on is, this a little button that's down here. Then there's a little app, and that's one of my favorite parts.

Brian: An app for a phone?

Tyler: Yeah.

And then you push this one that's up above it, then it actually connects to it.

Brian: It'll connect to the app?

Tyler: Yeah, yeah.

Brian: Was that Bluetooth or something?

Tyler: Yeah. It's Bluetooth. It's awesome!

Brian: So do you think do you like that better than a lot of your other Legos?

Tyler: I used to build a lot of Legos that I changed to a bunch of stuff with Lego Mario.

Brian: Yeah, and you but that's your favorite Lego piece is the Lego Mario ones.

Tyler: Yeah.

Brian: Do you think it's because they that combines two things that you really like?

Tyler: Yeah, it's like super super cool. You guys can like get it. I bought this at like, Fred Meyer I think.

Brian: We're not doing a commercial just for Mario.

We have we have stores in this area called, Fred Meyer. That's what he's talking about.

Tyler: Yeah.

Brian: But, I think they got the point that you like Super Mario and you like Super Mario Legos. But the idea is, is that if you can combine…if you can combine two different interests, two different areas, two different things that people love.

For example, on my podcast, the Off The Grid Biz Podcast, we had Roost and Root and that website, it actually combines the idea of raising chickens with gardening.

Who someone that you know, that raises chickens and has a garden?
