One of my $1.000.000 Ideas: Hispanic Records


Three months into my mission, I uncovered one of my many million dollar ideas. I decided to become a religious, latin pop star!

Here are three reasons why entering this market is a $1.000.000 idea:

1. Hispanics still buy music records. Who buys cds [compact disks] anymore? Even the most squeaky clean music consumer I know purchases the majority of his music online.

2. Hispanics don't have high expectations when it comes to music quality.

3. I quickly and painfully observed that there are no good male, LDS, Latin American music artists. The niche is completely untouched.


Prime example: Nelly Furtado's new, Mexican-flavored record, Mi Plan. Possessing a little bit of Latin American blood, herself, Nelly took the liberty of creating 11 songs marketed strictly for her "Gente" [people]. The sound of her new album is completely foreign in comparison to her earlier pop-R&B stuff. SHE DISCOVERED THE SECRET! She saw the U.S. music industry going down hill and had the insight to break in to the Latin American market.

With a few months of music lessons, some friends at Deseret Book, and a recording studio, I really think I could make somewhere in between $10.000-$100.000.000.

    If you go down to SLC and sit on the corner near Temple Square to sing and play maybe you'll be "discovered"! Why not give it a try during spring break??

Rummi-"CUB" vs. Rummi-"CUBE"

The "Rummikub" Pronunciation Debate Affirmative Constructive: "Cub" For years, I have been a firm advocate and defender of the pronunciation, Rummi-"CUB".  The game box I grew up with spelled it, Rummicub  on the box. However, other productions of the game have variant spellings: Rummykub , Rummy Kube , Rummy Tiles , etc.  Based solely on box spelling, the game's true pronunciation is open to interpretation. Therefore, Rummi"cub" is equally acceptable to any other given pronunciation. Negative  Constructive : "Cube" My opponents argue that since the game originated over seas, we ought to respect and maintain its original pronunciation. Affirmative Rebuttal: Americanization of the Term When the game was brought to America and given Americanized rules, its name was also Americanized. Pronunciation loyalists then counter my rebuttal with, "there are lots of adopted foreign words that have retained their original pron...

The Secret Reason Why "Good Witch" Feels Emotionally Off

TL;DR It's the Botox. For the past 3 months, my wife, Stacia, and I have been watching  Good Witch  (via Netflix and Amazon Prime). Stacia adores winding down to "Hallmark-y shows." We can rely on Good Witch episodes to always resolve happily. The episodes are never too intense. The height of conflict revolves around things like someone's inability to locate the perfect spot to snap a romantic photo for a new tourism brochure. I consider my time watching these shows spouse bonding time , and emotional training. My favorite thing about watching feel-good shows with Stacia is getting to observe her facial reactions to the on-screen drama. When two people lean in for a long-anticipated kiss, Stacia tucks her knees into her chest and frowns with her forehead while lifting her chin and bottom lip. While I'm typically unable to suspend my disbelief, Stacia seems completely entranced by the various characters' emotions. Wishing I could join her in being swept aw...

Who's Got The Funk?

I am an amateur guitarist, and I've got no funk. My musical skills seem to lacking that special something . Great musicians have it . Those fortunate enough to have gotten hold of  it , create timeless hits. While musicians without it  fade into oblivion. After spending hours searching through Blues history websites and 1970's band documentaries online, I discovered what that special something  is thank to a (70% Man, 30% fish) character from the BBC show "The Mighty Boosh" named Old Gregg. He identified that  thing  as  The Funk ! But what exactly is The Funk ? Here is some dialogue from the show to help explain its origin and purpose: Old Gregg: You're a musician, yeah? Howard: Yes I am. Old Gregg: Butchya ain't very good, are ya? Howard: I'm one of the best in town. Old Gregg: Come on, I read your reviews. Hmm? You know what your problem is? Howard: What? Old Gregg: Ya ain't got the funk. You're all rigid. Hmm? You're l...
