Two things I learned from Travis about structuring licensing deals… 1. you can come about it from a thousand and one ways, and 2. you can make up your own rules as long as everyone agrees This is a little breakdown of what I did as a licensing agent, or “connector hat” as I sometimes call ‘em, to put my first deal together. BTW this is by no means a perfect example. Far from it. But thought I’d share to show how one country bumpkin from Arkansas was able to still make it happen using what Travis teaches in this group. I took on the licensing agent role because I like being a connector. Don’t really have my own proven IP. And really enjoy uncovering NEERs for distribution opportunities. 🔑 So here’s the key points... Originally I reached out to a guy on twitter to see if had the value bombs he was doling out freely over there packaged up into a course. If he did I wanted to license it out. He didn’t. But I remembered Travis’ sheik and luxury car dealership story and what he said to do if you’re just starting out - ** Get control of distribution first. Then it’s easier to source a product fit. ** The aforementioned value 💣's the guy shares is about driving traffic to his ecomm stores. He’s shared numbers before so I knew it was a safe bet he gets a good amount of traffic and customers. So I asked him if he ever wanted a digital product to offer his customers I could probably source something through my network (network being all you peeps in this group). He replied back a yes to that with the name of one his store brands that he could use a digital product for (see the msg pic1 attached). This brand sells handheld hidden camera detectors. We hopped on a call to explore what digital IP would make a good fit. One of the ideas that came out of that call was a security guide for travelers pdf. Preferably by a security authority figure. Funny enough although I made a post here in the group to source a product and received some great ideas, I actually stumbled on an IP partner through happenstance.

It wasn't a trout!!!!! DAMMMMMMIT!!!! That's my reaction after fighting a giant fish I think is a brown trout. Only to find out it was a sucker fish! That's how it was with a recent coffee date. Actually...we didn't even get on Zoom. I wasn't going to take this guy on as a partner, but (my focus is elsewhere) Figured he might be a good hand off for the right Ronin. But he refused to share his numbers. "Why do you want to know how many sales I have for my coaching?" My reply... "Sorry dude, I must have watched too many episodes of Shark Tank. They always ask for the numbers right up front. I figured if some billionaires are asking for that, maybe I should?" Needless to say, I let that sucker fish go.

I've got a library of video content going back to 2014. One of the things I'm excitedly focused on is using AI to repurpose the content into books, courses, membership programs and so much MORE! I am blown away by what Claude AI, Perplexity, and POE AI can create that I can monetize with the licensing model. 👍There are endless licensing money machines to build using A.I. 👀I believe MARRYING AI and Licensing gives birth to the most stress-free income babies ever born! If you don't have content of your own? There are heaps of coaches, consultants, content creators, experts, and business owners with a fortune in IP just "sitting under their mattresses." ...without the know-how or time to monetize it. How interested would you be in me talking more about AI and royalty payments? 🖕1= I'd rather spend a weekend at my mother-in-law's than use AI to earn royalties. 👍10= I'd spend a weekend with my mother-in-law to learn more! (or somewhere in between? LOL) Sound off 👇 Thanks in advance! Rooting For Ya, Travis

Let's dive into the exciting tale of Bill Gates, DOS, and the birth of Microsoft. Buckle up, Rockstars, because this story's got more twists than a tornado made of spaghetti! Once upon a time, in a world where computers were as big as refrigerators, there was a young whiz kid named Bill Gates. Bill was so smart, he could solve a Rubik's Cube while eating a peanut butter sandwich... blindfolded! One day, Bill and his buddy Paul Allen heard that a big computer company called IBM was looking for a special kind of software called an operating system. An operating system is like a computer's brain - it tells all the parts how to work together. IBM needed this brain for their new personal computers, which were going to be small enough to fit on a desk! Now, here's where it gets tricky. Bill and Paul didn't actually have an operating system to sell. Oops! But did that stop them? No way, José! They were determined to seize this opportunity faster than a kid grabbing the last slice of pizza. They knew a guy named Tim Paterson who had created something called QDOS (Quick and Dirty Operating System). Bill and Paul thought, "Hey, this could work!" So, they did what any clever kids would do - they bought QDOS for $75,000. That's like buying a skateboard and then telling everyone you invented wheels! But wait, there's more! Instead of just selling QDOS to IBM, Bill had an even sneakier... I mean, smarter idea. He offered to license it to IBM. It's like saying, "You can borrow my awesome toy, but I still own it, and I can let other kids play with it too if I want." IBM, thinking they were getting a great deal, agreed. They didn't realize they'd just handed Bill the keys to the computer kingdom! Bill and his team worked faster than a cheetah on roller skates to improve QDOS. They renamed it MS-DOS (Microsoft Disk Operating System), and boom! Microsoft was born. Here's the really clever part: Bill's deal with IBM meant he could sell MS-DOS to other computer companies too. It's like having the only lemonade stand in town on the hottest day of the year - everyone wanted a sip!
