Description
A Christmas gift, a Facebook Marketplace test, and one windy HOA event turned Derek’s backyard movie setup into a high-margin side hustle. In this recap of The Koerner Office with host Chris Koerner, you’ll hear how Derek went from an inflatable screen to a premium event business serving families, weddings, and milestone celebrations. The original episode is condensed into a faster listen so you can quickly learn the key moves: how he validated demand, upgraded to a 20-foot industrial screen and pro audio, built an air-conditioned indoor inflatable theater for hot Texas evenings, and added details like pre-show music and LED dance floors to justify premium pricing. You’ll also get practical takeaways on entrepreneurship, business model innovation, lead generation, and customer experience from someone who built roughly 80% profit margins through Facebook Marketplace and word of mouth. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
