I nearly didn't write this section because of the Ukraine thing but then I think the world needs Crazy Talk or at least I need crazy talk, because the world is actually crazy.
I am so tired of the world seemingly missing the whole point and seemingly focused on the wrong things. It makes me think about the whole social impact fund idea and raising money to empower entrepreneurs to actually build the businesses and start the movements that the world actually needs.
Then it makes me think that I've been thinking about what my next venture might be post Sanctus life and I've been writing crazy talk to explore the depths of my crazy mind WABALOO! But maybe it is CRAZY TALK! Mayabe CRAZY TALK is the thing. Maybe crazy talk brings together a global community of crazy talkers who build the important stuff mentioned above.
Also I've realised this isn't a newsletter any more, it's a newspaper!! I write a weekly newspaper. Move over daily mail, I'm coming for you.
(HUGE news ^^^^^^)
There's more even crazier talk though that troubles me and makes me have an image of me pulling my hair out, even though I don't actually pull my hair. Do we even need more businesses? Or is capitalism and business actually the problem? If it is I am in a real mire because that's all I know! I'll have to study philosophy and become a philosopher. Seriously though do we need more businesses that commercialise social issues or do we just need like new religions and cultures? Why does everything need to be a business? Like litter picking bloody hell come on. Surely we can all just not litter? And pick up litter? Why would that need to be a global community of litter pickers with brand deals and all that. My head hurts from all this crazy talk :(
Ideas in my head (my sieve)
Walking Community. People definitely want this. Just don't have energy to build yet. Mission = connect people to nature. Vision = more people connected to nature = more people climate conscious and we be kinder to the planet
The Great British Clean Up. We really could do with littering less and having more litter pickers. Not sure this is a business/community though or just people needing to be better people?
diary of an entrepreneur (book) - not sure writing a book that glamorises/tells the honest stories of entrepreneurship excites me that much tbh. I think I saw "this is going to hurt" on TV and thought `I want a TV show!!
impact venture fund. makes loads of sense and I probably know people with money to invest. I think being a fund manager and investing is a bit boring though snore snore. I like building things.
Routledge's Champagne. Moet and Laurent Perrier and all that are a bit snooty so a down to earth champagne brand based in Stoke I just think is wicked and fun. Might keep this open as a project and wait for the universe to deliver me the person who makes champagne and believes in this idea.
I heard once about this company like a not for profit that got diverse talent into politics. Someone please surely? No more disconnected politicians who know nothing about the world?
If you have got this far this week my head hurts a bit and I do feel playful but also a bit sad in my lego this week :(
Keep playing x
