“The big version of this idea is figure out how you're going to replace the value that churches gave people, but you can do it in a new way. And so like, for example, could you create a new brand in these same venues that's around, I don't know, like manifestation? Or some shit like that. Or meditation. Or yoga. Like, could you create a yoga franchise that only operates out of churches and some blend of, like, religion and churches, right? Sorry, religion and yoga. And, like, I think those are the big ideas, which is replace the function. One of the, like, be 10 X better on one of those bundles. Like, 10 X better on food, or music, or the sermon, or absolving you of your sins. Like, you know, Do, do try to be better at 10 X, better at one of those, and then use the physical locations of churches to, like, build that new franchise.”
