I have ideas for products, I have marketing and branding expertise, but have a huge gap when it comes to the actual manufacturing of a product.

I’ve chucked a few random ideas below - could you give me a step by step of how you’d get the ball rolling to get one (or all!) of these items manufactured, and the considerations to make? (These aren’t my ideas but just a range of ideas to help me get my head around the path to producing a physical product)

1. Alcoholic spirit in non-standard packaging (think engine oil)

2. Linen bedding - a range of different colours and patterns

3. Kids Plush toys - custom design

4. Electrolyte supplement sachet

I currently use CapCut to edit basic videos for my small brand. I’m keen to do more/better and wondering if this is the best platform for me to use.

If I could edit on desktop and mobile that would be a bonus

Small business / brand owner here, trying to do a better job of creating content for my brand.

Filming the usual stuff but keen to start getting more creative, overlaying brand assets, more custom subtitles, using our brand font etc.

Currently I use cap cut. Can you recommend any other platforms? Ideally being able to edit on mobile and desktop would be really handy, but not sure if that’s a thing

I feel like a huge part of my lack of growth mindset is because I’ve never experienced reward from effort or ‘winning’. Eg whenever I’ve done an exam, I haven’t revised, so good grades haven’t taught me ‘you can set your mind to something and do it’. I’ve never won a completion. I’ve rarely got jobs I’ve gone for. I strongly feel that all of these things gradually teach you a growth mindset and that you have power to change.

I want to set myself some challenges over the next year that will show me ‘you can decide to do something and make it happen’

All I’ve thought of so far is signing up to run a race - I’m unfit at the moment but just a 5km race will be achievable and I hope start to build the building blocks that teach me I can do what I set my mind to. Any other achievable ideas?

I’m mid 30s, not at all ‘techy’ and currently use AI in my work in the way i expect 90% of people do - help me write XYZ / what are some idea for XYZ / review this document etc

I’m seeing more and more examples of AI being used more effectively, but as soon as I try and explore these im immediately confused by the guidance - running scripts, plug ins etc.

Are there any good resources that can help me level up? I’m scared of being left behind

Thought I’d ask as it’s the summer holidays - is anywhere doing an offer for tickets for the aquarium ? I can’t see anything online but wondering if anyone’s seen anything in the paper etc. thanks

Im new to stocks and shares and im not very knowledgable about all of this. recently heard compounding mentioned when discussing stocks and shares, can you explain like I’m 5?

With cash savings I understand - I invest £100. I get paid 10% interest and so now my cash is worth £110. Next year I get paid 10% on £110 and so on. Simple.

How would S&S compound? If I invest £100 and bought say, 1 share, and the stock goes up 10%, I still only have 1 share and am still only making any further gains on my original £100, no? The only way I could see a similar ‘compounding’ effect in S&S would be if you gained, and then used that money to buy a new stock that also gained. If you left your money in one place, does it compound? Is there something I’m missing?

Seeing coffee rise today got me thinking

Don’t panic - I invest most of my funds into sensible stuff, then have a few wild cards just to make life more exciting. However between S&P, Nebius and a few others, it’s pretty much all tech - boring.

What can I take stick a few ££ in for fun, that’s nowhere near tech?

Would love to hear from successful founders who have bootstrapped rather than raised funds. What’s your story?

These are new to me, but every time I like a picture on here it turns out a mist filter has been used!

What can you recommend? Bonus for example pics…

I’ve loved dermot since 2017, and without fear will always be incredibly special to me - I was so gutted to miss out on a promised return tour.

Wondering if it’s just for me the main tour and new album just isn’t hitting like his stuff used to. The lyrics feel much mess deep, and to me it’s moved into pure pop whereas his point of difference used to be the hip hop inspiration you could feel coming through the lyrics, the story telling and the rawness.

No shade intended, I get that people evolve, but I think I’m just mourning the old stuff! Anyone else?
