Welcome friend to Episode 22 of my podcast The view from the crow's nest. And today's podcast is going to be a double bill, very quickly an idea for something that came this morning and the story behind that. And secondly, something to do with business and a mistake, which I think so many people make with their businesses, even seasoned business people make the same mistake. And it's a real shame because it really cripples so many businesses, and I hope I can help you avoid that mistake potentially if you're in business or if you work in a company and you want to help them avoid that mistake. So the first one, an idea. I had a dream I had a dream last night. And I very often have very vivid dreams, which, oddly enough, usually involve me having to battle creatures or people kind of like zombies or something like that usually they're very violent I don't know why, but in this particular dream. It was, I was going through some very realistic, process it was, I think I'd walked onto an estate or something something like aristocratic estate and just kind of like decided to have a little wander around the house, even though there are people in it and then I got challenged when I got in the house. And the funny thing was in the dream I was remember thinking, hey wait a minute, what's happening here, because there was a bit of a twist which I'll tell you in a second but as I what's happening here we'll make a really good story maybe a good film. And quite often I'll have an idea in my dream. And then, my dreams, and then wake myself up from the dream, so that I can write down the idea. Sometimes it's musical sometimes it's a story. But it's really annoying when I wake myself up because, obviously, I then have to go get my phone turn it on, write it down whatever and then try and get back to sleep it always wakes me up. And for the first time, I think ever. I had one of those dreams or I had a dream. And then I came, I was like hey, this could be a good idea if. Wait a minute. Am I dreaming or is this real no I'm dreaming I'm pretty sure I'm dreaming so I want to remember this and I want to write this down but I don't want to wake up. this is what I was thinking to my dream. So, when I wake up, I'm going to remember this and then write it down. And the first thing when opened my eyes. The first thing I remember, or thought about this morning was this idea. So I was really chuffed with myself with my subconscious for allowing me to carry on sleeping, whilst having this idea, and the idea isn't anything. Amazing. But I think it's pretty interesting it's kind of a funky twist. So, I will give you a I mean it's obviously not developed at all but I'll give you a very quick pitch, it's a boy probably an American probably around about the age of 14 something like that 15 is on a school trip to the UK, and maybe he's on a tour of royal place or an aristocratic house Buckingham Palace, I don't know, something like that. And it's a bit cheeky is a bit rebellious this boy. So he grabs his best mate. And he goes, quick. Let's duck out and they kind of run through a side door where they're not meant to be, you know, going or what have you. And, you know, they run around the palace or the house or whatever it is, and they've been a bit cheeky and then they get stopped by, you know by a butler I don't know someone like that. And here's a little twist the button is kind of like, ah, we didn't expect you back here for another like two months or three months or something like that and the boys like cool. And basically the twist is that the boy is the spitting image of the grandson or the son of the family who lives there or whatever. I'm stretching reality here I know. And basically the boy assumes the identity of this aristocrat who just happens to be on study leave in America. And it's a, you know, it's a comedy it's kind of I'm thinking kinda like Goonies a bit of adventure maybe not as much as Goonies, but very much a Disney, you know, Disney type
