3 businesses we think are about to blow up

About this video

Sam and Shaan explore two distinct business ideas: first, oxytocin nasal spray for enhancing bonding in relationships and team settings, inspired by Palmer Luckey’s unconventional pitch; second, community-based membership organizations like Knights of Columbus that build loyalty around shared identity and monetize through financial products like insurance. Both ideas leverage loneliness and community as business opportunities.

Key takeaways

• Oxytocin, a naturally occurring bonding hormone, is being explored as an unregulated intervention to strengthen relationships and improve social connection—particularly for people with autism spectrum disorder—though evidence remains limited and speculative
• Community-based membership models (Knights of Columbus, AARP, Good Sam, USCCA) have proven durable billion-dollar businesses by selling financial products (insurance, discounts) to members united by shared identity or interests, with growing appeal to younger demographics
• The film and entertainment industry operates on a hit-driven model where one or two massive successes must subsidize many failures, with marketing budgets often exceeding production costs, yielding surprisingly modest returns even for blockbusters compared to other venture-backed businesses
