Businessfolk, Scientists and Creative Thinkers: A BAC Business Hypothetical

You are underselling yourself. You notice aesthetics and understand how people who fixate on details like to shop.

Thanks. I am transitioning out of my current role. My partner and I sold our company years ago; I stayed on as a consultant then became an employee for compliance reasons. I helped bring in a replacement from a competitor and the business has grown sharply. I had planned to retire but stayed to observe. Now I have a big office, work limited hours, and find it interesting, yet it is time to move on. Peptide tracking and hobbies already fill my days. Still, a large office and shorter week than now would get my attention.

Good point on the EU side. One reason I like certain cosmetics is their adherence to stricter European rules. A film scene showed an inspector literally checking a salon floor for compliance, something hard to picture here outside building codes. Are the inspectors as exacting and serious as cardiac surgeons? Solid idea though; I know who we should tap for that role.

I once hired several for labs abroad. Addressing them as Doctor helped with their sense of recognition; they sit between retail pharmacists and full MDs. Newer graduates may relate differently to hierarchy.

Solid question. If such a facility were open, the first issues would be why they are not already making their own line and whether they would accept extra compliance steps for our involvement, similar to how certified meat adds oversight without changing the core process. Worth exploring.

Why not offer it as a powder instead?

Joke noted, yet now I have to check whether a lyophilized version of the alcohol even exists. Off on a research tangent.

Not really comparable. The closest match I have seen may come from the same facility as the original market leader.

That tagline is perfect and earns an immediate promotion. The whole concept is gold.

Its melting point is well below room temperature, so it would not stay solid without constant cooling. Freeze-drying would not work cleanly because there is almost no water; the alcohol itself would sublimate. I might test a small sample later when temperatures allow photos.

Competition signals demand, but it also raises the cost of entry.

Remote cameras would solve the timing problem. New product idea: a frozen format that ships in special canisters.
