Re: Business and Job Opportunities for My Mentees
Inflation-Protection Grocery Delivery Business (USA-Focused) -- Allow users to create a recurring grocery delivery at a set guaranteed price for life based on current prices, which are lower than current food delivery prices (Instacart, DoorDash, UberEats, etc.). The lower cost can be obtained via the benefit of having the recurring order. Additionally, we can use the power of collective bargaining to get lower prices from stores and/or wholesalers/manufacturers. I also think this would be a good opportunity for door-to-door sales to get new customers, specially with the focus on marketing being "inflation" and "protection from inflation" and "insurance against inflation". This would also have great health benefits for our customers since people tend to make much healthier choices in advance. People are less likely to thoughtfully sign up for a recurring subscription for giant packs of Oreos and versus low-fat milk and cage-free hormone-free eggs when planning in advance, versus when they see the tempting ads for candy on Instacart or at the checkout lane in the grocery store.
Grocery Stores in-person and/or online that only have food that is free of added sugar, free of added salt, and free of trans fat. Additionally, make it very easy for people to filter out food with other commonly avoided allegedly unhealthy additives or ingredients such as: soy, food coloring, hormones, antibiotics, and unspecified "natural flavors" (e.g. beaver butt secretions). Any animal products that are produced via factory farming (i.e. non-free-range) or animals injected with hormones or antibiotics are also a concern.
Social Reviews -- This would be a social media website where users are thoroughly verified (presumably via you.pw) as real individual humans where they can (1) review any products or services they have used, and (2) see reviews and average ratings of products and services from only real true friends. For example, imagine you could browse Amazon with a special filter that automatically hid any ratings/reviews that aren't from people who you happen to be friends with on Facebook or following on social media or have in your contacts list. However, the issue with that kind of filter would be that most people don't bother to review products they use, at least not specifically on Amazon, so part of the point of this new social reviews network would be for people to review almost every single product or service they use or buy at all, including movies, books, restaurants, banks, toys, cars, websites, and anything they buy from Amazon, Walmart, etc. etc. Then you can also 'follow' people who have similar interests. This way you would see average ratings and recommendations from real people you actually know and can trust instead of seeing average ratings based on thousands that at best are from strangers who may not share your interest and opinions (and who more likely are scammers and bots posting AI generated reviews and/or other fake or dishonest reviews and ratings). Another way to think of this whole idea is as being like Yelp, but where you only see reviews/ratings from people you 'follow' on social media and/or know in real life, and it would be for rating anything you could buy or use (e.g. specific products and services) not just local places.

ScriptAuction -- A website where people who have written a movie script can have their script rated and reviewed by experts and where film producers could bid on buying the exclusive rights to the film. There could be a mechanism for fans to vote on the scripts (e.g. an "I'd watch that!" button, with a counter showing how many people clicked it), so that movie producers could sort by that count and quickly see which scripts already have the most interest from fans. This business would already have a huge customer base since so many authors have script-versions of their book that they would love to sell. This website could also generate revenue by selling script writing services to authors who want their book converted into a script so that it can then become a movie. The website could also have a feature for authors to sell the movie rights to their book without having to first write a script.

Privacy Company -- This could be run a non-profit charity, or as a for-profit company that charges a fee for the service. Either way, it would be an organization that helps people get Google, Meta/Facebook, and other mass-surveilling data-sellers out of their life. For instance, this company would help a person de-google as a service. Again this could be done as a tax-exempt charity, because it's basically just a matter education and public awareness: Simply teaching people the basics of (1) how companies like Google and Facebook actually make money, and (2) the horrors that entails (e.g. Google collecting and selling your browser data when you use Incognito mode, purposely deceiving you into think it is private and then selling that extra juicy data.), and (3) what the other options are, such as simply using Rumble instead of YouTube, and Protonmail instead of Gmail, and Signal or Telegram instead of WhatsApp (or worse, Facebook Messenger), and using GrapheneOS or Lineage instead of Android, and using DuckDuckGo search instead of Google Search.
