Agh!!! I can't believe people actually made it down here last week. 3 people emailed me about this bit so that means at least 3 people read this bit, Woohooo.
Honestly writing this section last week was one of the best parts of my week. i feel like I've not been silly for ages, like I've kind of being holding back my creativity (/madness) and it's good to just play down here. This is the lego section. I love lego.
The sieve is starting to work too. I can't be a cereal entrepreneur can I? Well obviously I could, but I think I just like the name, when really if I keep starting businesses/ventures/things I will be an actual Serial Entrepreneur. Not a cereal one. Anyway.
It is interesting that the few legends who did email me about this noticed the Champagne. I must admit, how great. I love Champagne and we need more rituals to celebrate with. I have absolutely no idea how you get champagne made but I might actually google that when I finish this sentence. I just had a quick look and it's definitely not obvious, I could probably do with bumping into a Champagne-maker who likes me, if I keep writing about it that sort of thing does happen in life. Champagne! Come on Universe hit me.
I do still have other things floating around in this head of mine.
btw the sieve I should have explained is something I picked up from Stephen King (in a youtube video) he talks about ideas in his head like a sieve. After a while some of the ideas break down and fall a way. Sometimes though they are big crumbs and they stay in the sieve so you pick out the crumbs and do something with them, or inquire further.
Ideas in my head (my sieve)
Walking Community. Get people out rambling together. Make rambling cool and fun, and give people a community to get walking with. The purpose is to connect people to each other and to the natural world.
The Great British Clean Up. There is so much rubbish on the streets and going out doing litter picking actually is good for the soul (I've done it 3 times in my whole life). I also wonder what you can do with rubbish? Can you burn it to create energy.
diary of an entrepreneur (book) - I really could write this. The lucky thing with my first book though was that they asked me to write it. The people who write something first then get it published, you are brave brave souls, I'm not sure I have it in me.
impact venture fund. raise lots of money from rich people and invest it into businesses doing good for the world. If I'm honest I feel like I could do this, I probably have the network. It feels a bit obvious though for me to do this next and I'll be honest I think a lot of founders are scared of failing after they've had a bit of success so just default to investing. Having said that though, in the music game this is like going into producing/having your own label and I do like the idea of that.
Routledge's Champagne. When was there a new champagne brand? They seem like 4000 years old and pretty stuck up. Prosecco has gone wild, a more affordable, modern Champagne would be a cool challenger brand and I can see how the whole brand would come together around celebration, good times, memories and it'd be like anti-elite. Designed in Stoke, Made in Champagne Est. 2022. Then on the back of the bottle you have sections for people to write and remember the bottle. So you'd write the date, who you were with, what you celebrated. So good.
I heard once about this company like a not for profit that got diverse talent into politics. I can't find it anywhere, but that would be great. All UK PMs go to Eton which is obviously really bad for many reasons so what about some sort of community far reaching into the depths of british society to then get different people into politics. Can someone do this please but not me?
If you have made this far I think there is a part of you that is as insane as me, because in some part of the depths of your imagination you must somewhere think that all of the above are possible. That makes us friends.
Week 2 of Crazy Talk.
Bye bye x
