Slugs.
The worst of all the garden creatures.
Slimy. Slithery. Leaving gross trails all over the place. Ugh.
This week Corinne has written to us to ask whether we could start up a business to deal with these pests.
And honestly our business proposals couldn't be more politically different.

Thanks Corinne.

The world has had enough of crude graffiti, surely we are better than just covering everything with spray-paint drawn willys? Andrew and Alex are here to help, as they both pitch their own ideas for businesses to make vandalism more unique and less NSFW. Listen and decide for yourself whose idea was better!

Thank you to Hannah who sent in such a crude problem. If you have a problem (not related to graffiti) you want us to solve with an innovative business then please drop us a line at brainsontheoutside@gmail.com

Why can we not Shazam smells? There's Google image search, why not a Google smell search? Alex and Andrew pitch two businesses that will aim to make it possible to really understand what you are smelling. There are wine sommeliers, why aren't there smell smelliers? 

Thank you to Elliott who sent in such a wonderful and smell-focused problem. If you have a problem (not related to smelling) you want us to solve with an innovative business then please drop us a line at brainsontheoutside@gmail.com

When kids are little, parents get to witness so many of their achievements. However, as they grow up, the distance grows. Job interviews, driving tests, exams - parents can’t be in the room as this happens. Or can they? 

This is very special episode! It is the first episode in our NEW NEW format! We're actually gonna stick with this one for a good long time. We promise.
From this moment on we're going to be looking extra hard for listener problems to solve and then we're both going to pitch a business, product or service that will help. 

Thank you to our listener Julie who sent in this heart warming question. We hope our incredibly invasive solutions help. If you have a problem you want us to solve with an innovative business then please drop us a line at brainsontheoutside@gmail.com

Is your significant other pissed with you? 
Do you not know why? 
Have you recently bought (or not bought) a zoo? 

Well, our new consultancy service is here to help. With experts trained at Deloitte, McKinsey and IDEO we'll help you to make better life decisions, to understand why everyone is annoyed with you, and to reconnect with your dad over a shared love of timber.

Your problems may seem insurmountable to you but to somebody else they might be easy-peasy! Our new app lets someone attempt to solve your problem for you, as long as you try to solve theirs. It's Strangers on a Train, but for cleaning your drains or doing your taxes. It's the next step of that neighbourhood group chat where people give away their old stuff, but now they are trying to give away their problems.
