It's something one person could do. And you kind of, it's one of those ideas where you don't know where it's going to go in which direction. So it's kind of fun. It's kind of fun. It is fun.
Yep. So I want to go over two more ideas today. The next idea I want to go over is the watch marketplace idea. And then I want to end with the teaching and tutoring business idea. The watch marketplace idea. Do you watch like watch talk like with all these influencers? Do you just be honest with me?
You're talking to a guy who's wearing no watch and a $4.50 Kirkland t-shirt. I get it. But for whatever reason, on my TikTok feed, I get a lot of these luxury watch people trading on... It's because of your lookalike, probably.
So there is a situation. Some people probably even... know the situation where there's these two guys on watch talk. There's this guy named Vukom who has like millions of followers or something. And then there's this guy named Manny. Okay. Now Vukom and his partner, what the hell's his name? Buckley. Okay. These guys are like the Kings of watch talk and Manny is
is now accusing Buckley of just being like, you know, he's out there selling, you know, saying he's selling $100,000 Rolexes, but this is like a, what does he call him? He calls him a battery repairman. All he knows is to repair battery. Who is this guy? And then you have Buckley creating videos being like, Manny is like.
That's Manny's point, right? Manny's point. And maybe we can include one of the videos so people could see it. But the point is, there's a lack of trust. Like both of them are trying to create a lack of trust in the luxury marketplace. So tell me, I just want to set the stage with that. Tell me about your watch marketplace idea and why trust is really important in this space.
It's a purpoise.
They know who is the other person. Just for people listening, how can they... Okay, so let's say someone wants to go and build this... this watch marketplace idea, take, you know, the VIG, I think as it's called, or the commission from, or percentage from 15% to like a dollar a transaction, how do they go, okay, they build this, they build it in a month.
Now they want to make it more interesting with River. What does that mean?
Yeah, so I want to synthesize a little bit what you said for people.
No, it's just, this is why I'm here. So, because I think what you're saying is really smart. The way Vukom and Buckley built their business was they built an audience up top on TikTok and Instagram. Then they created a paid community called Vukom Verified where you have to pay $20 a month and other watch dealers and watch buyers can buy and sell from each other.
But there's no real trust besides for the fact that you have to have a credit card that can spend $20 a month. What you're saying, I mean, you can still build the audience on these platforms, build the audiences on these platforms. but create and focus on areas where there's not so much trust, like in the watch industry, but basically create a trust layer between both parties.
And once the trust layer exists, then it's almost like someone gets a badge that allows them to enter to the community as like, hey, I'm not just... You know, there's a difference between... Okay, I went to a concert last night, and this is not a flex, but I was backstage. And, you know, anyone could buy it. Not a flex, okay. I mean, I didn't say what show it could be.
It could have been, like, my cousin's ukulele show. Yeah, recital. So let's keep it at that. But, you know, the idea was anyone could... Anyone could buy a ticket to the show, but not anyone could get backstage passes. What you're saying is, by virtue of this verified trust layer, you actually get the backstage passes and the exhaust, so to speak, from the...
The trust is the ability to have this social layer. That's what you're saying.
Right. Cool. Okay, we have time for one last quick startup idea. Teaching, tutoring businesses. I think it's very similar. So... It's basically a manifestation of what we talked about. Explain what you're thinking here.
Yeah.
Education and coaching are fundamentally retention businesses. Your goal is you want the person.
And relationships. Yeah, for sure. It's relationships and it's retention. It's those two things. It's, you know, I can even just thinking about like in high school and elementary school, like some of the teachers that made a meaningful impact on my life, And it was a mix of like who they were as people, how they were able to communicate.
But also they were just really good at getting me to retain information and stories and stuff like that. So what you're saying is interesting because you're saying like, oh, with something like this, this is going to help. Like you're kind of gamifying the experience in some way where there's like levels and almost leaderboards. And in some ways, right?
