Key Takeaways
Repurpose low-cost, low-brow activities like bingo or eating contests into high-energy 'raves' to drive high-margin alcohol sales at physical venues.
Identify 'pain-in-the-butt' hobbies, such as meat smoking or woodworking, because enthusiasts in these niches are willing to pay significant premiums for specialized hardware and recurring consumables.
Focus creator-led ventures on B2B high-ticket products which require significantly less audience scale than consumer goods to reach multi-million dollar valuations.
