How History is Made - Quietly

Yesterday, I was able to be a part of making history. No, it was not the cure for cancer, or discovering warp drive, or teleportation (those WILL come later). The “history” was the placement of the world’s first device that can restore a man’s hair naturally, without drugs, surgery, or negative side effects.

Why is this important and how does it make history?

Due to the fact this is first machine that can combat the reasons why men go bald with an all natural, non-invasive, scientific approach makes it unique. It combines three technologies to first destroy DHT (a testosterone that deteriorates the hair follicle and their blood vessels and causes hair loss), second to rejuvenate the hair follicle, and lastly increase blood flow to the hair follicle. Essentially, it makes your scalp “think” it is 25 years old (or younger), or back when you used to grow hair naturally. But the technology is NOT the important thing here.

Nor is the most important thing that now men (and some women) can now regain the confidence that comes with a full head of hair in this every competitive environment for jobs, security, mates, and recognition. While this is SUPER important for the company’s ultimate success as a marketing message, it is not the MOST important feature in making history.

No, what is significant here is that a handful of entrepreneurs with very little fanfare, little money, but a lot of grit and determination brought to light a new technology, in a new sales channel for a different way to combat a problem that until today was handled with drugs or surgery. Their differentiation is that they offer an all natural, use proven science, and have no ill side effects. This company will be wildly successful due to the fact that there is such a pressing need for this “fix.” The amazing thing about it is that so few people were there to witness its birth!

I wonder how many other companies are being born yesterday, today or tomorrow unnoticed that will experience the same phenomenal success that will become so obvious 3 to 5 years from now?

If anyone is interested in seeing this “revolutionary” product, it is at Milk+Honey Salon on 3rd Street in downtown Austin. Ask for Elizabeth at 512.236.1115.

The Moldy Middle

While taking statistics during my quest to get an MBA and while earning my engineering degree, the professors always emphasized the importance of finding the statistical mean of any population by using the Central Mean Theorem (a.k.a the highest point of the Bell Curve). As an engineer, this was essential in order to maximize throughput, minimize cost and waste, and ultimately make a better, faster, cheaper widget. A funny thing happened on the way to the dark side of marketing. I discovered that the only thing in the middle of the road was quite literally dead road kill. I do not know if you remember stores like Bradlees, Ames and Service Merchandise (just to name a few), but they all folded because the environment changed and they were caught trying to service the mythological “average customer.” Part of that change came when Wal-Mart began its juggernaut with the discount department store. Wal-Mart did two things right: 1) Focused on “mobile” consumers, and 2) Fo

The Rush to Bottom

I cannot take credit for these words of wisdom, and sadly I do not know who wrote it originally. So, I cannot acknowledge them by name but I can acknowledge their exceptional talent to get a message across with clarity and hard-hitting truths.   Whomever this author is, I thank and admire you and take pleasure in sharing this with others!   I have also included a video if anyone is interested in sharing it. “When the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great...but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.” An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer. The professor then said, “OK, we will have an experiment in this class on socialism. All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one wi

How Much is Enough?

I have been thinking about integrity and honesty, and frankly should humanity even continue, but that is another thread. In my thinking, I keep coming back to the same question: How much or little cheating is enough? Or stated another way? How much of a lie makes you a liar? How much cheating do you have to do to be a cheater? How much do you need to steal for you to be considered a thief? How much infidelity do you need to be considered an adulterer? How much fraud to you need to commit for it to be criminal? How much of the truth needs to be changed for it to be untrue? How much shit exactly, does something need to have to be considered a shit sandwich? How dead must a person be to be considered murdered? How pregnant do you have to be to be considered pregnant? OK, the last two were off topic but the answer is “any”.. Any amount of lying makes you a liar. Any amount of cheating makes you a cheater. Any amount of stealing makes you a thief. Any amount of infidelity makes you an adult
