Below are some of the recent ideas off the top of my head I’ve gave people that were asking for ideas from the general public. All of the ideas below were just off the top of my head at the time. If I was to dig into the problem and apply my ideation processes, I would come up with some much better ideas/solutions.

Here's the LinkedIn post with more of the content and context.
Below is the list of 3 ideas just off the top of my head that I commented on his post.
1. An episode with only failed creators.
2. An episode with one failed creator and one successful creator in which each of those creators were pursuing nearly the same business idea. And, perhaps a series where that's the case.
3. An episode where you don't get to know who the guests are until the end. I have some additional details on this idea, but it's too long to write out in a short comment.
I don't even suspect the 3 ideas above are that good as they are just off the top of my head.

Here's the X.com comment with more of the content and context.
Below are 3 ideas just off the top of my head.
1. For subsidies that are used to purchase high-cost products (such as an agricultural subsidy being used to purchase combine harvesters), negotiate with the suppliers of that product to get a major discount, and have recipients of that subsidy receive that majorly discounted product instead of having recipients buy on their own without any discount.
2. For a subsidy that was created over 5 years ago without much change and seem unnecessary, send a message to the government agency with that subsidy to ask if it is still necessary 5 years later, and then modify the subsidy's funding based on the reply.
3. For a subsidy that has been determined to be unnecessary, somewhat reduce its funding, and then (after some number of weeks) reevaluate how much of a negative impact there seems to be on the horizon if those subsides continue to be moderately less funded.
For anyone reading this, I'd be happy to give you some free ideas off the top of my head. They won't be anywhere near as good if I got to dig into the problem and apply my ideation processes, but the ideas might be decent. Contact me if you're interested: SS5.org/Idea/#contact-me.
