That's really cool. When I was head of product strategy at WeWork, and not many people know this, but WeWork had one of the best AI ML teams in technology. And one of the most interesting use cases that we had, I don't think we ended up really productizing it, but it was this idea that every WeWork has cameras and how can you identify if there's smoke? Smoke that can turn into a fire.
How can you identify if someone has a gun that walks in? How can you identify if someone has a knife? And to me, that was like, Forget the co-working business. That piece of technology was the most interesting piece of technology that WeWork ever had.
It is creepy. I feel like on digital products, we all kind of know what's happening. But in the physical world, it takes it to the next level. I think there will be some backlash.
Someone in the comment section is going to be like, bro, when I walk into my deli, my guy gives me some salami when I walk in. I don't need some AI to help me do it.
Yeah, I think this is also one of those ideas that makes sense right now because so many companies are trying to reduce costs right now. So you're swimming downstream here, you're not swimming upstream. And I agree with you, there's so many different verticals that you can take this in. So yeah, I like it.
Just checking the Google Trends data on sperm freezing, and you can just see that it's going up. There's more and more interest in sperm freezing. And you're right, I've never... I've never once seen an ad for any of this. So I think there's an opportunity to build a real brand here.
And then there's like... Yeah, but when I Google sperm freezing, the number one Google search result is...
I almost don't want to air this episode.
And while you're doing that, I got a couple of names for sperm freezing. We can do like ice cold sperm.com.
But also just doing lead gen. Just buy the keywords, sell the leads.
Interesting. And they raised it from like Silicon Valley people or yeah.
When do you know when you see an idea out there? You have an idea and then you start to do some Googling and you're like, oh man, there's someone doing it. When do you know to continue or to stop?
Exactly.
I feel like that's the move.
Yes, we will. Okay. I think we got one last idea.
I've never done it.
This gets me thinking of my buddy started, his name's Antonio Neves. He started something in Los Angeles called Man Mornings. And he used to get together with a group of guys that they used to just drink, basically. And he realized that the best conversations and the most bonding happens in the mornings around coffee. And this is a guy who, I'm pretty sure he was a moderator for TED
and he's a professional moderator, professional speaker. He doesn't shy away that it's for men. Men need to share their feelings. I really appreciate that. I'm not saying, yes, it is like a boys club, but that could happen for females, it could happen for other people. My point is, I think that one of the reasons why it's your point.
One of the reasons why it's so successful and Tony is, is doing so well with it is because yeah, these people are looking for something more. They want to share and they're becoming best friends in this. Like it's just a coffee or going for a walk. It's beautiful.
I couldn't agree more. And the, the funny part is though, is that like Tony who started man mornings, who did it out of the goodness of his heart, I wouldn't be surprised if that turns into like a really big business. Uh, just because he's so passionate about it and people want it so badly.
