Great ideas that are relevant for 2009 and beyond! I found the interview touched on an important theme to match a business idea with a current or emerging trend. Thanks for sharing the information. I look forward to the book coming out in March 2009.

Greetings, Since "Boomers" and those qualifying of age related discounts (senior) what about a website listing these discounts? Revenue generated by posting advertiser.

Great idea! I don`t think a web site like that exists today? It certainly has a lot of potential.
