    Sinkside to Success: Innovative Advertising
    Jun 12 2026
    On the Stock Alternatives Podcast, co-founders Lori and Heather describe their startup, Sinkside Billboards, which installs free automatic sensor faucets with integrated screens in public restrooms to run 15-second ads about 18 inches from users’ faces when they don’t have phones in hand. They position the sink as a high-attention, point-of-use alternative to traditional out-of-home advertising, offering venues revenue share, water savings (up to 70%), and free promotional ad time, with near-100% venue close rates. They aim to gamify hygiene by rewarding users for handwashing via QR code points redeemable through venue programs, while emphasizing “positive brand messaging.” They discuss patents, hardware and Wi-Fi challenges, their CMS partner Broadsign adding a restroom category, installations in Florida and Planet Fitness in Boston, a 30-day-to-install cycle, ad fill ramping, and an exit strategy, noting advisor Kevin Harrington and investor Jeff’s support.00:00 Welcome and Guests01:13 Founders and Mission02:23 The Sink Ad Insight05:22 Restroom as Right Room06:39 Free Venues Revenue Share07:10 What the Faucet Looks Like08:51 Point of Use Messaging11:49 Small Business Retention Play13:27 Gamifying Handwashing Rewards16:28 Patents and Competition18:22 Buildout Timeline and WiFi22:13 Go to Market and Broadsign25:09 Kevin Harrington Endorsement28:02 Investor Flywheel and Hope31:55 Positive Sink Messages34:01 Product Placement Playbook35:48 Feel Good Sales Boost36:47 Scaling and Exit Vision39:35 Unit Economics and Payback43:05 Closing and Contact Info44:20 Signs and Lucky Numbers46:59 Medium Insights and Horses51:14 Wrap Up and ThanksThanks for listening, and please share this episode with a colleague or peer.

  • From Ashes to Innovation: Building Better Homes in the Pacific Palisades

    From Ashes to Innovation: Building Better Homes in the Pacific Palisades
    Jun 5 2026

    Jeff Stock hosts the first Stock Alternatives Podcast episode with guests John and Michelle Brown, homebuilders in Pacific Palisades and part of Stock Alternatives’ “20% Steady Income in Real Estate and an Airplane Teardown” opportunity. The Browns describe how they pioneered high-end, cost-efficient prefab building after creating a custom 2,000 sq. ft. luxury home in a Palisades mobile home park, then scaled the model to modular, factory-built homes using partners in Idaho and California (wood and light-gauge steel). They claim their integrated design-build approach and state-level permitting can cut timelines from 2–3 years to about 1.5 years, with fewer weather, inspection, and theft delays. They discuss rebuilding after the fires, lot selection strategy, smart-home tech, and using IBHS highest-level fire-resilience standards to improve insurability. They cite rapid community recovery milestones and expect strong investor returns as Palisades rebuilds through 2027.
