Audio-Driven Workouts with Colin McIntosh

Nuggets:

• This idea is so exciting because it’s a platform that expands both sides of a marketplace; it makes it easier for fitness instructors to get their content out, and easier for people to work out remotely
• Don’t forget about the incredible power of puns in branding and marketing.

Action Steps:

1. Create a business overview/plan including the product, points of differentiation, value proposition, etc...
2. Create a financial model with some basic assumptions to ensure that the idea will be profitable
3. Validate product/market fit (before spending serious money or seeking investment dollars)
4. Create a basic landing page with the value proposition and run Facebook ads to it
5. Use the data collected from ads to inform and iterate on the financial model
