My First Million

The Guy Who Studied Buffett for 25 Years

-BUSINESS IDEA- 1. Gaming Software for TVs.

[YouTube Link:

Guy spear, an investor, discusses his experience with a company called ISWI Interactive Services Worldwide Inc. This company developed gaming software for televisions. Although Spear initially saw potential in ISWI, he later learned that Bill Ackman, a renowned investor, had taken a massive short position in the company. Ackman believed that ISWI was borderline fraudulent and that their business model was more akin to business lending than to a legitimate mortgage-backed security operation. Spear, realizing he hadn\'t conducted thorough due diligence, sold his position in ISWI and subsequently attended a meeting with Ackman and ISWI's management. During the meeting, Ackman questioned ISWI's business practices and their classification of their offerings as mortgage-backed securities. The management team failed to provide satisfactory answers, leading Spear to believe that Ackman was right in his assessment. This experience highlighted the importance of conducting in-depth analysis and the potential pitfalls of relying on surface-level information, especially when venturing into uncharted investment territory.

-BUSINESS IDEA- 1. AI Content Updater.

[YouTube Link:

There is an opportunity for an AI-powered content updater that would be invaluable to large publishers. Such a tool would scan content libraries for outdated information, broken links, and other necessary updates, then access the publisher's CMS and make those updates. A SaaS model charging per update would be a good option for this business idea.

-BUSINESS IDEA- 2. Uber Black of Meal Delivery.

[YouTube Link:

People are willing to pay for high-quality, chef-prepared meals. However, existing meal services often compromise on quality to keep prices low. An opportunity exists for a premium meal delivery service offering restaurant-quality, chef-prepared meals tailored to dietary restrictions, beautifully presented, and delivered at a premium price point.

-BUSINESS IDEA- 3. ADHD Brand.

[YouTube Link:

The ADHD market is booming, with a growing demand for products like timers, watches, chairs, apps, and coaching services. Yet, no single brand dominates the space. An opportunity exists to establish a strong brand that positions ADHD as a superpower and offers a suite of products and community support, similar to what Dan Harris achieved with the 10% Happier meditation brand.

-BUSINESS IDEA- 4. Content Repurposing Service.

[YouTube Link:

Businesses often have valuable content, such as blog posts, newsletters, videos, and webinars, that sit unused. An opportunity exists for a content repurposing service that takes existing content and transforms it into different formats, extending its reach and maximizing ROI. While AI tools attempt this, human intervention remains essential for quality and ingenuity.

Superhuman 2.0: The AI edge, top productivity hacks, and the future of email | E2002

1 -BUSINESS IDEA- Superhuman for Sales.

[YouTube Link:

Superhuman for Sales is a version of Superhuman that is designed for salespeople. This paid product allows for collaboration in email, as opposed to the common workarounds of screenshots into Slack or Teams or forwarding/BCCing. Superhuman for Sales offers the ability to share a live view of any email conversation with your team, which allows teammates to follow along in Superhuman or via a link without needing to use the product. Team members can comment directly on the conversation, reducing the risk of regrettable external messages. An internal conversation box, visually distinct from the email message, allows for safe collaboration on strategy and execution.

2 -BUSINESS IDEA- Loom AI.

[YouTube Link:

Loom AI is a feature of the Loom product by Joe Lassin. Loom, for those unfamiliar, is a product that allows for the easy sharing of videos of your computer screen, with a small video box of you in the corner. Loom AI automatically titles videos, creates transcripts and chapters for easy review. This feature unlocks value for both the sender and receiver of Loom videos, allowing for asynchronous communication on a technical or product level.

-BUSINESS IDEA- 1: A bill splitting web app.

The speaker talks about a mobile app made with Claude AI. The prompt used for the app is: \"can you make me a bill splitting app and use from my phone?\". This prompt generates a web app running directly on the phone which can calculate how much each person has to pay for a given bill and a given number of people. It is also possible to specify a tip percentage to be added to the bill. This simple bill splitting web app could be extended by a lot of useful functionalities, for example calculating unequal shares when splitting a bill. The speaker sees a great potential in this app idea and thinks that Claude AI provides everything needed to quickly build a first version of this app.

-BUSINESS IDEA- 2: A ranch management app.

The speaker suggests to build a ranch management app as an example for an app that could be easily built with Claude AI. The app could include multiple counters for tasks to be done on a ranch, e.g. \"cut the lawn\" and \"feed the animals\". Each of the counters could count the time needed to finish the respective task.

### -BUSINESS IDEA- 1. Improving customer support through AI.

There's a significant opportunity to leverage AI in enhancing customer support services, particularly in industries notorious for their poor customer service experiences such as telecommunications and airlines. Deploying AI in these areas could lead to a substantial positive impact. However, companies might be hesitant to boast about utilizing AI for customer service due to potential concerns about job displacement and the fear of negative publicity if the AI doesn\'t perform flawlessly. This trend of quiet implementation is already noticeable, and it's likely to expand further, ultimately revolutionizing the customer service landscape. Despite its significance, the impact of AI in customer support might not be immediately apparent to the average consumer, who doesn\'t interact with these services daily, unlike other consumer products.

-BUSINESS IDEA- 1. Cynthia pedon's Next Move: Founding a Crypto Trading Company.

[YouTube Link:

After the collapse of the AWS mining scheme, Cynthia pedon, who had allegedly made $3 million from promoting the scheme, found herself in financial difficulty. To overcome this, she decided to establish her own Ponzi scheme called novatech in June 2019. The company claimed to employ professional traders worldwide to engage in day trading of traditional and cryptocurrencies. Their primary offering was the Percentage Allocation Management Module (Pam), a passive investment opportunity where investors would send money to novatech, and the company would invest it in FX and crypto trading strategies, sharing 70% of the profits with the investor and retaining 30% as a management fee.
