From Talk to Action: Five Business Ideas That Could Change Everything
Whether you’re a doer or a backer, these are five paths to real-world impact.
There's a freedom that comes when you build your own path. No boss watching your every move. No HR department scanning your social media for wrongthink.
If you're reading this, you already know the cost. Your values come with a price tag in today's world. They'll freeze you out, cancel you, push you aside.
So what do we do? We build.
We stop begging for space and make our own. We stop complaining and create alternatives. We stop reacting and start constructing.
Here's the truth nobody wants to say out loud: if all we do is analyze, criticize, and comment, we're just spectators. Spectators don't shape the future.
This is for the builders. The ones ready to do something real.
I've got five business ideas. Concrete ones. You could start them tomorrow, or back someone who will. They're designed for our world, where playing by their rules means playing to lose.
Let me start with one I know cold. I've been on both sides of it.
The Professional Speakers Network
Ever organized an event? You know the drill. Finding speakers. Booking flights. Getting people to commit. Wrestling with language barriers and logistics.
I've spoken at dozens of events across Europe. I've seen it from the other side too. Late invitations. Unclear communication. Nobody meeting you at the airport. Worst of all, missed chances to reach the right audiences.
Here's the fix: a professional booking agency for our speakers.
Think of it like a dating app for events. Authors, thinkers, and activists create profiles. Bio, topics, languages, previous gigs, availability, fees. Event organizers browse, request, and book everything in one place.
Behind the scenes, a small team handles logistics. Transport, hotels, contracts, promotion. They take a cut or charge a fee.
You make it easy for the speaker. You make it easy for the organizer. You become the middleman, which is where the money lives.
This solves real problems. It lowers the bar for organizing events. It amplifies new voices. It builds trust across borders. And it brings professionalism, which attracts donors and participants who take things seriously.
The left has entire institutions for "thought leadership." They send their people on international tours with PR teams and travel agents. We've got fantastic people working incredibly hard to create events, and so many brilliant voices that deserve bigger platforms.
Time to give them the infrastructure they deserve. Anyone who brings value to both sides of a transaction owns the platform.
The AI Creative Studio
We're living through a media revolution. You can make a short film, music video, or documentary for a few hundred bucks and some weekend work. What used to need studios and crews now takes a laptop, a prompt, and vision.
But here's the catch. The good tools cost money. Subscriptions, credits, GPU time. It adds up fast, especially for young creators with zero institutional backing and targets on their backs.
So we build an AI studio for our side.
Talented creators apply to join a vetted team. Writers, animators, editors, musicians. You give them software access, generation credits, and a shared platform.
They create content. Shorts, trailers, animated essays, infographics, audiobooks. You sell that content to political movements, aligned businesses, media projects. Or crowdfund straight to audiences.
You could package it up nice. "Ten reels for your campaign." "Animated stories for education." "AI music videos for your band."
This has explosive potential because it fixes multiple pain points at once. It lowers the bar for quality content. It amplifies creativity where talent exists but tools don't. It creates revenue from audiences hungry for something better than talking heads on Zoom calls.
Most importantly, it gives young creators a reason to stay in our world instead of using it as a stepping stone to mainstream success.
We don't need Hollywood budgets. Just vision and the guts to build.
Identity Tours
Mainstream tourism is dead. Mass-produced experiences, soul-crushing itineraries, plastic food, selfie sticks in front of ruins nobody understands anymore.
Picture this instead. You're standing in the Roman Forum. Not with some bored guide reciting dates from memory. With a local who gets it. Someone who explains the imperial foundations of Europe, the myths behind the stones, how Rome still echoes in today's fights.
That's Identity Tours. A travel platform where like-minded travelers connect with local hosts and guides who share their worldview.
Build the network. Trusted guides in Rome, Athens, Vienna, Krakow. A website listing experiences. Walking tours, history talks, dinners, training sessions, meetups. Full packages with lodging and transport if they want it.
Revenue comes from booking fees, premium trips, partnerships with organizations sending groups or youth delegations.
This solves something deeper than travel logistics. It builds real-world community across borders. It reclaims sacred spaces from globalist tour guides. It gives people connection to something larger than themselves.
The infrastructure already exists informally. People are doing this in small ways. What's missing is coordination, visibility, trust.
Most people would love to visit a city and meet someone who "gets it." They just don't know who to ask or how to find them.
You can be that bridge. You can turn ideology into experience. You can build memories that outlast any podcast or meme.
The Learning Platform
Public education is broken. Universities are ideology factories. Even private platforms like Coursera censor voices that challenge orthodoxy.
But the hunger for real learning hasn't gone anywhere. If anything, it's stronger. People want meaning, roots, competence. They want to think sharper, live stronger, prepare better.
Enter the Learning Platform. Not a school or think tank. A fortress of knowledge for people who won't conform.
Courses could cover history from our perspective, classical philosophy, rhetoric and debate, homeschooling basics, physical training, crypto for independence, European art and identity.
Start simple. Pre-recorded videos, downloadable materials. Maybe live seminars with Q&A for members. Charge per course or offer subscriptions. Split revenue with creators.
This isn't just education. It's building parallel intellectual infrastructure. Unlike trying to reform existing institutions, this doesn't need decades or millions. Just teachers, structure, and belief that we have something worth teaching.
If we don't shape the next generation's minds, someone else will. This makes sure we're in that fight.
The Values-Based Freelance Market
What if you could hire a designer, translator, copywriter, or developer and know they share your values? What if you could work and get paid without worrying about being canceled for what you believe?
That's the Parallel Market. A freelance platform for people who don't want to fund their own replacement.
Clients post jobs. Everything from book layouts to podcast editing to programming. Freelancers create profiles, portfolios, set rates. The platform vets users, ensures discretion, maybe allows crypto payments. A small team manages quality and community standards.
This isn't just about income. It's about loyalty economies. Work for people who support your values. Hire people who live by them.
The benefits stack up. Less dependence on hostile platforms. Stronger professional networks. Money staying in the community. And meaningful work for people who want to contribute but aren't front-line activists.
Not everyone's a speaker. Not everyone wants to start a company. But everyone has skills and needs support.
Why send money to strangers who hate you when you could invest in people building the future alongside you?
Build Something That Lasts
I want to start all five of these. Seriously. The speaker network, AI studio, travel platform, learning hub, freelance market. I see the need, the opportunity, the impact they could have.
But I've only got 24 hours like everyone else. And I'm already running projects.
So this isn't my shopping list. It's your challenge.
Maybe you're young and looking for direction. Maybe you're experienced and tired of playing defense. Maybe you're waiting for someone to say it's possible.
It's possible.
You don't need permission or perfection. Start small, start local, start now.
This isn't just business. It's building parallel systems so our people can survive, grow, and thrive. It's proving we can create, not just critique.
Don't just consume content or complain online. Build something that lasts.
