This guy bought a $300 inflatable movie screen on Amazon as a Christmas gift for his family and turned it into a $100,000 a year business at 80% profit margins.
He just booked a $10,000 week.
His startup cost was literally that Amazon gift.
This is backyard movie theater rentals. But here's where it gets really freaking cool.
Derek realized movies can't start until 9:30 PM in Texas summers because it doesn't get dark until then. That doesn't work for seven year olds.
So he built the world's first indoor air conditioned inflatable movie theater.
Full carpeting. LED lights. Four window AC units he bought off Facebook Marketplace for $150 each. He charges $1700 for it.
His outdoor packages start at $375 and scale up from there to $1500.
Then he added LED dance floors because kids kept dancing after the movies ended.
Those rent for $3,000 and he'll have it paid off in eight rentals.
In this episode Derek:
- Breaks down how he went from unprepared at his first HOA event to a $10K booking week
- Shares how he sources equipment from Alibaba and Facebook Marketplace
- Tells me why his best clients are people sitting on a few acres who don't blink at price
- Gives me the exact package structure he uses, from $375 starter to $1,700 indoor
This one is awesome. Check it out.
Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.
More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸
Cowboys rookie TE Michael Trigg (undrafted free agent signing) to @tommy_yarrish on not hearing his name called in the draft:
“It’s motivating. It puts a chip on my shoulder, honestly.”
“I belong. I’m trying to stick in the league for as long as possible.”
On what he can bring to the offense:
“Just my versatility in being able to play in multiple positions and being able to block through the gaps.”
This could be the best gift I've ever gotten.
After our QB Class episode, Sawyer Robertson gave me this and I had to get it framed... a freakin' MIKE LEACH CALL SHEET!
I truly can't get over this, what a great man Mike Leach was.
Thank you, Sawyer! I'll always cherish this!
