6 Million Dollar Business Ideas To Start Before 2024 | ft. Greg Isenberg

About this video

Greg Isenberg, founder of Late Checkout Studio and a prolific ideator, joins Sam and Shaan to explore unconventional business opportunities. The hosts discuss ideas ranging from a dog hydration brand to luxury newsletters, the resurgence of “boring business” rebranding (exemplified by Pinks window cleaning), and the franchise model applied to internet-based services. They also examine status-symbol products, Veblen goods, and opportunities in simplifying complex processes like trademark filing.

Key takeaways

• Curating and packaging existing ideas (like Ryan Holiday did with stoicism through The Daily Stoic) can be easier and more scalable than creating original content, as demonstrated by successful newsletter models
• There’s an emerging opportunity to rebrand traditionally unglamorous service businesses with indie/vintage aesthetics and strong branding—a model Greg calls ’the Pinks-ification’ of boring businesses, similar to how Dollar Shave Club disrupted razors
• Luxury and status-symbol businesses follow different economics: Veblen goods see increased demand as prices rise, which explains why scarcity and exclusivity (like Hermès Birkin bags or invitation-only newsletters) drive value independent of utility
• The franchise model, traditionally used for geographic expansion, could be adapted to internet-based services to solve the scaling and operational complexity problems that plague creator-led agencies and service businesses
• Simple, high-friction processes like trademark filing present opportunities for Stripe Atlas-style solutions that bundle complexity into affordable, easy-to-use products
