I think this could be a Kickstarter idea!
Come up with a line of products that you could create, find out the cost involved, connect with some possible retail outlets, and maybe even a manufacturer.
Create the prototypes and do…"

Steve Rice replied to Ryan Brewer's discussion I've got an idea and I am getting excited"I like the idea! I think it sounds cool and it would be cool to see a pic of the marbled finished product. I do agree with the others though. You need to think of other things you could make with this material. Maybe just coasters is a good way…"
Luke Townsley replied to Ryan Brewer's discussion I've got an idea and I am getting excited"An Etsy store is a good idea. Stuff on Etsy doesn't sell itself, you still have to drive traffic, but it would be a good environment for your product, make it easy to test ideas, and their fees are reasonable."
Mike Hirst replied to Ryan Brewer's discussion I've got an idea and I am getting excited"This was what I was going to say. A lot of grocery stores around us here in PA have plastic bag drop-off bins. I doubt the stores do anything but throw them in recycling. You could probably ask them if you can swing by once a week and pick them up,…"
Lee Smith, ND replied to Ryan Brewer's discussion I've got an idea and I am getting excited"Maybe you can partner with a store that collects bags for recycling and they can re-sell them."

Ryan Brewer replied to Ryan Brewer's discussion I've got an idea and I am getting excited"There is no vapors or toxic smells released during the melting process because I melt it at a low enough temp. This type of plastic has a very low melting point of just under 265 degrees and sometimes even lower. Now if you were to hold a match to…"

Michael Shemwell replied to Ryan Brewer's discussion I've got an idea and I am getting excited"Just out of curiosity. Any idea what vapors, gasses, whatever you want to call it might be getting released during the melting process? I'm not one to freak out about every little thing and call it toxic, in fact I'm maybe on…"
Alex Barker replied to Ryan Brewer's discussion I've got an idea and I am getting excited"Hi Ryan
Pretty interesting idea. Is there anything else you could make besides coasters? I agree with Luke that you have to consider what kind of market is out there for table coasters. People probably won't be motivated enough to mail you…"
Ryan Brewer replied to Ryan Brewer's discussion I've got an idea and I am getting excited"I can actually make one coaster from around 4 bags. If this was a viable model I could make 500 from just what I have. "
Luke Townsley replied to Ryan Brewer's discussion I've got an idea and I am getting excited"Ryan,
Hey, that's a really neat idea! I do think you are making a leap of faith assumption that people will send you their bags. What would it take to make a single coaster? 20 bags? That's a lot and if people care about their bag…"
Ryan Brewer posted a discussionI've got an idea and I am getting excited
For years I have been accumulating plastic grocery bags. I knew there had to be something that I could do with them that could be turned into a product. I have found a way to slowly melt them down to where they turn into a putty type consistency. Basically what I do is melt them and then compress them into a mold. From there I cut them. They have a really neat marbled look from all the colors from the bags. I am thinking of turning them into drink coasters. After they have been melted and…See More

Enabling your Boomerang Kids
Posted on August 14, 2012 at 11:25am 1 Comment 0 Likes
Just in case you didn't know what boomerang kids are, they are just like they sound. It is when a parent raises their kids to be productive adults but for one reason or another they come back to live at home. I have a story about this but I will not use any names to protect the guilty.
The mother who thought she had already raised her kids to be able to take care of themselves…
Continue Best Week Ever!!

This week is going to be one of the best weeks of my life. This week will be the week that my wife and I pay off our final debt. Its been a long time coming. We have been fighting to pay off our debt for about 5 years. Now finally the last $4400 will be paid off.
On December 14, 2011 I got a phone called that completely changed our financial plan. During the Christmas season Dave Ramsey was doing a different giveaway each day, from tv's to books and cash. I heard…
$1000 Snake Killing Machine
Posted on December 29, 2010 at 8:41pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
I am sure the title of this blog is making you wonder. What is he going to talk about? Well for those of you who don't know me I am deathly terrified of snakes.
So now lets go back to the year 2005. My family is living in a house that for some reason in the summer there were snakes all over the yard. You couldn't mow the yard and not see 10 snakes. We even had one downstairs in our laundry room. It was only about 3 inches long but for me it might as well of been 3 feet long. I wanted… Continue

My true Christmas Emergency
Posted on December 26, 2010 at 7:46pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
So I wake up at 8am and myself, Dawn and Hunter all head downstairs to see what is under the tree. While opening one of my sons presents, I managed to slice my finger open and it was bleeding all over.
After getting over the initial sick feeling of seeing all the blood. My wife drove me to the ER where I received 3 stitches in my finger. All in all it was an action filled morning.
I guess the moral of the story is... You never know when an emergency will happen, but its…
Financial stupidity (my personal story)
Posted on December 19, 2010 at 8:05pm 3 Comments 0 Likes
I suppose my story of financial stupidity would start back in 1999 when I got out of high school and started at the community college. I took out a $2500 school loan (this loan will stick around way longer than I planned for more about it later). I never had to make any payments on that loan until I was finished with school or until I quit. Which I never finished my degree. So about 2001 I was starting to make payments of $50 a month.
2001 was also the year I was married to my…

Vickie Smith said… - Looking forward to reading your book when it arrives. If I like it I'll post an amazon review- if it's available on Amazon. I don't know if it helps you to have it posted but doesn't hurt. I'm excited that my reviewer rank is constantly improving. I was about 25,000 in newer reviewers and still 600,000 aprox in classic reviewers. I tell everyone to review your purchases on Amazon and even books you read from the library. That's how I got to be an Amazon Vine reviewer and get free stuff from them.

Jordan Peterson said… - Hey Ryan,
Thanks for the offer on the books. I really appreciate it. I can get them from the library pretty easily so I really don't have a major need for them unless you are trying to get rid of them... at which point I'd probably read them and also pass them on to friends that I thought could benefit from them. :)
Which reminds me of a random thought... I give incredible material to other people that I think they could use and they show practically no interest... :/ Kinda sad.
