6 Hilarious Business Ideas That Could Make You $1,000,000 in 2022 (#351)

About this video

Sam and Shaan pitch each other a series of intentionally rough business ideas—some genuinely clever, others deliberately absurd—in the second edition of their “drunk ideas” episode. They explore concepts ranging from a private camera roll app (Hideaway) to an OnlyFans-style therapy platform (Only Problems), while discovering that some ideas, like a virtual Santa service, already exist and are quietly successful. The hosts dissect why certain business models work, validate ideas against real market examples, and debate which pitches are “bad good” versus genuinely viable.

Key takeaways

• User-generated content platforms at critical mass are nearly impossible to disrupt or replace (example: Slideshare’s 100–150M monthly visits despite minimal updates or monetization)
• Combining two familiar concepts in unexpected ways—like OnlyFans applied to therapy, or secret phone folders disguised as harmless apps—can unlock genuine business opportunities
• Experiential, photo-worthy dining models work because they tap into people’s desire for social media content and entertainment rather than optimized food quality (Museum of Ice Cream, Benihana’s model)
