Legoland for business owners.

Hi I'm Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live.

I have not walked in this place yet. Here it is late night.

Late night on, let's see, what is it Sunday.

And I'm here to take my kids tomorrow morning to Legoland.

I'm staying right over here, at the Legoland hotel in California.

It's been a fun experience. The hotel itself is very interesting how you can take if you're looking at this from a pure business perspective, how you can take a toy, a relatively benign toy, little plastic bricks that you could put together to create different things, you can create a theme park out of it, you can then produce a hotel out of it.

Let's promote the theme park, you can then have a second hotel, they got a little Lego Castle over here.

You could put all those things together and end up with something completely beyond what the creator could ever possibly imagine, including movies, everything else, you ever want to look at a huge business story in terms of being able to what would you call it, repurpose.

And take a very simple idea and move it over multiple multiple formats and backgrounds with The Lego Movie, though I mean, just everything that Lego touches all the other areas that they touch, including, you know, Star Wars and superheroes.

I mean, is there anything that does not do not have a Lego version out there.

Incredible what they've been able to do, what they've been able to get away with, and how they can print money off of taking one simple idea and duplicating a million times over. It's something you can learn from something you could do in your own business.

But here's how it really goes back to your business. Take your kids to places like this and look at the whole thing. This is what was talking about last night about combining business and family time.

Well, you can do that. Because it's difficult to be in a place like this without any kids. Maybe if you've got a friend or two that are willing to come along with you, it won't look as nefarious.

But if you're just a single person walking around Lego, and everyone's gonna look at you kind of strange, because it is very much a younger person's, I mean, very younger audience that we're dealing with here and so you might want to have some kids.

Now, if you don't have kids, here's the trick, the real trick is if you don't have kids, what you got to do is get somebody else's kids and take them.

Okay, and here's how I would do it. Because I spent many, many years as a single white male, and did not have kids of my own.

I and I never had to do this directly, because I always had nephews and nieces and a good relationship with their parents. So it wasn't, it was never an issue. And I went a lot of places with them.

But what I would recommend you do, if you don't have that is, is think about the people you know, who do have children, and including yourself in those activities as much as possible and just tell the parents, hey, directly, I really would love to check out Legoland.

But I have a hard time figuring out how to do that is just as just a single person. And so how what I'd love to do, I'd love to take your kids now if you've got the money, take their kids and pay for the whole darn trip.
