What It's About
Today's caller has a unique idea for road travelers. Should they hit the road with this idea?
Notes from Chris
Episode 1771
A listener has a cool idea: they want to sell a road trip kit. I’ll let them explain more in their question. But first—would you like to ask a question? This is also an opportunity for you to share your business. I often mention listener’s websites and social handles. Give us an interesting question and we will gladly promote you. I just know that someone out there wants to share their idea, but has been holding back—if that’s you, you’re the person I’m thinking of."My idea is a "road trip kit" that combines a few helpful and fun items in a box that sells at truck stops and gift shops. You'd get a compass, an old-school atlas of U.S. road maps, an air freshener, and maybe some snacks that you can't find at the average store. I know that people don't need a compass or paper maps to drive these days, but the idea is that it's a cool gift or even just a nice thing to buy for yourself. I might even include a mixtape if I can figure out how to make them ... maybe cassette players will make a comeback. What are your thoughts on this idea?"Listen to today's episode to learn more...
