  • Ep.98- Let's Discuss Tom Green’s New Show on Youtube - Multi-Talented DIY is the Future of Entertainment

    In Episode 98 of Idea Diary - Today, I talk about Tom Green getting a dog, a van and gear to film, edit, post, and live a story. Please watch this video to get a glimpse of what Hollywood doesn’t understand, and the future of entertainment. It doesn’t matter if you are celebrity anymore, are you multi-talented, can you do it yourself, can you tell a story with audio and video…That’s what people want. Art that you would create even if it never made a dime, and if it wasn’t good that you would try again. Tom Green is the first celebrity, other than Joe Rogan doing long-form interviews before it was totally obvious that is what people wanted…Well, my prediction is Tom Green is going to be the next trailblazer for art and entertainment. We will see what happens, but I have a good feeling.

  • Ep. 96- Let's Discuss Who is Mr. Delicious???

    In Episode 96 of Idea Diary - Today, I talk about an old ad campaign from 1991. The only thing I can say is…Who is selling the Mr. Delicious Merch? I need a t-shirt pronto with Mr. Delicious saying “Knowing that a bus could run him over at anytime, Mr. Delicious can always rationalize a chocolate shake.” Mr. Delicious always talks about himself in the third person, by the way! Of course he does!

  • Ep93- Let's Discuss POP-UP Restaurants, New Ideas, 4 Things to Try to Start Expanding Your Brand

    In Episode 93 of Idea Diary - Today, I talk about the new trend of restaurant commercial spaces rebranding as a pop-up restaurant, or sharing rent by letting a new restaurant use their space as a new revenue stream to help pay rent when business is down. I love it. Here are 4 new ideas to start expanding, innovating and possibly re-branding your business for more business to make even more money after the shut downs and changes that have happened.

    1. Keep up the old products and services you are known for, but also have NEW IDEA meetings to add something new.
    2. Create a pre-order product that you can test interest. Sell a small amount of something, let a few people order now to be delivered at a later date.
    3. Make a list of 50 problems you could solve for your current customers or new customers!
    4. Combo with other Brands to create a new product, share a space, or add a new service. Combine forces!

    6. Ep. 92- Let's Discuss Mitch Lowe's Idea Disruption and Innovation with VIDEODROID, NETFLIX, REDBOX, & MOVIEPASS

      In Episode 92 of Idea Diary - Today, I talk about the great story of Mitch Lowe. He came up with an idea of VHS Kioks in 1982, building a company called Videodroid. 20 years later in 2003 he got the chance to build REDBOX as an executive for McDonald’s to complete and oversee his vision of people renting movies on the sidewalk. It’s very rare someone gets to complete an idea they had 20 years earlier, but I find it very comforting and special that he got have that achievement. He also was a co-founder of Netflix, and creator of MoviePass. Watch some of these interviews and speeches if you want some business innovation inspiration. Also, I forgot to mention on other ah-ha takeaway from watching his speech today, McDonald’s could have solved their low revenue issue with simply having cleaner bathrooms instead of spending millions of dollars and testing out millions of businesses to raise sales. They simply had lost that nice clean family restaurant feeling, and by bringing back clean excellence as a well-known McDonald’s trait, that brought the food sales back.

      “You know when you are disrupting and being innovating when people say there is no way your idea is going to work” - Mitch Lowe

    7. Ep. 91- Let's Discuss transitioning the position of “Social Media Manager” into a new more valuable position in a company.

      In Episode 91 of Idea Diary - Today, I talk about the idea that the position of “Social Media Manager” might not be around too much longer, or could become less important to companies in 2021. Lots of people are using social in a totally different way, or completely not logging in anymore. I wanted to give some ideas for job transitions that could pay well, and keep a go-getter climbing that corporate ladder in any company, or transitioning the position of their own “Social Media Manager” into something more valuable in your own company.

      Four Ideas to take your “Social Media Manager” to the next-level

      1. Head of content development in your Media Department (podcast, blog, & video)
      2. In-House Publicist
      3. Direct Marketing or Customer Success Manager with a focus on direct contact with email and text
      4. Back-to-Basics “old School” Marketing and Advertising Department professional.
