About Young Ideas

As mentioned on our Home page, we focus on the development of good ideas, either yours or ours. Our primary activity is related to commemorative anniversary research, and on participating in marketing or fundraising programs that use that knowledge. In our Project Vault, you will find other endeavors we have an interest in, and will do if the right partner or partners come along.

We are very aware of concepts/details, and how to manage the relationship between the two in order to achieve desired results. We also strive to be very good communicators, so that “the rifles don’t get shipped to one place and the ammunition shipped to another, leaving your soldiers to shout ‘Bang! Bang!’ while dodging real bullets.”

Our business experience, while not out of the ordinary, is considerable. Six memorable experiences come to mind: 1) being chosen as one of eight people from around the world to help “fix” the Caribbean for Olivetti, 2) thoroughly learning Xerox Professional Selling Skills and applying them to more than just selling situations, 3) winning a trip to Hawaii as a reward for successful sales performance at Xerox, 4) publishing HomeOwner Magazine for five years and serving as President of the Magazine Street Merchants Association for two years while in New Orleans, 5) co-producing a book: Thunderbird, An Odyssey in Automotive Design by William P. Boyer, which coincided with the 30th anniversary of the Thunderbird car as well as Bill Boyer’s retirement from Ford, and 6) creating Robert Young’s Peachy Pocket Guide to Atlanta for the Peach Bowl.

In addition to being innovative in our approach, we are also imaginative (anyone want to “do lunch” at a picnic table set up on the outer ring of Saturn, or join us for a conference in our log cabin high-rise, or how about having dinner with us in our 360-degree surround-sound video experience restaurant a la Disney, where you will feel like you are actually in an authentic French restaurant on Monday, an Italian restaurant on Tuesday, a Mexican restaurant on Wednesday, etc., etc., etc.).

We are not particularly political; however, we are greatly concerned about the U.S. national debt and what it will mean for both the present and future generations of Americans. Furthermore, we get upset with people who litter (including those who flip their cigarette butts out of their vehicles instead of using their ashtrays), and we are “green” in the sense that it would be hard to imagine a world without trees.

With any luck, this “About Us” will strike you as being a little bit different from others that you have read. Good. Please feel free to contact us if you would like to know more, and especially contact us if you like any of our ideas and want to partner with us on their development.
