Hot off the heels of part 4 of Generation Skywalker's Guide to Palitoy, we're back with more Palitoy talk. In this episode Brian Hickey joins us to discuss his latest Kickstarter Project for a new book titled TOTAL STAR WARS TOYS: THE PALITOY SAGA.

He provides insights on research he has been conducting for this book, this includes in-depth interviews with numerous ex-Palitoy employees and collectors, a treasure of never before seen images given to him and the opportunities he has had to view and photograph rare Palitoy items for inclusion in the book- such as a prototype of the Palitoy Death Star The Kickstarter campaign launched on the 28th February and funded in less than 24 hours, hitting its first stretch goal less than 2 days later.  The campaign ends at  17:00 on the 30th March 2025 with several more stretch goals to unlock along the way. Brian shares full details of the campaign including the remaining stretch goals, the various tiers backers can pledge at, what backers can expect  the final book will look and feel like, and when they can expect to receive the final product.

VROMO is the only delivery management software solution tailored to the restaurant and food industry. VROMO's foundation is its customizable and intuitive dispatch technology which allows customers to manage their deliveries and drivers seamlessly from a cloud-based system. When it comes to new clients, VROMO is honest about the cost of the product and whether the restaurant is big enough to realize a profit while using the service. If the ROI isn't there, the VROMO team will let the restaurant know that. Alan predicts that assisted-driving delivery vehicles are on the horizon but drone delivery is likely 10 years away. On a five year horizon, Alan predicts a rise in local delivery co-ops comprised of large groups of very small restaurants banding together to share delivery services. Quotes “Ultimately what we do is try to make delivery profitable. If an order is going out of the kitchen, there's a huge case for VROMO.” (Alan) “What the pandemic introduced is a speed in decision making that this industry hasn't seen in a long, long time. To the point of very little thinking and due diligence about what happens next. But that was okay. We were all in survival mode.” (Alan) “If you think about how much time a marketing department or an operational department puts into kitchen layouts, store layouts, the queue, the tills, the music that you hear when you walk in and now imagine trying to replicate that decision-making process with delivery. It just hasn't happened. At all. That's really what VROMO is trying to accelerate from a restaurant perspective.” (Alan) “(Restaurants) need to operate as slick digitally as Uber and Doordash and GrubHub. Not that they're competitors. The third-party marketplaces have a place. They have a part to play, but I have never heard someone say, ‘I really enjoyed my Doordash pizza that I ordered last night.' You say, ‘I really enjoyed my Blaze pizza that I ordered on Doordash.'” (Alan) “Restaurant brands are investing so much. I feel like it's an overcorrection. All digital, all off-prem, optimized for pick-up and delivery – and optimization should happen – but it feels like we're going too far the other way.” (Joseph) Transcript 00:00.00 vigorbranding Everyone today I am joined by my friend Alan Hickey he is the founder and chief commercial officer at a place called Romo which we are going to unpack in full detail on this episode Alan is a proud scotsman. Um. 00:13.91 Al Hickey Oh you did it Joseph straight off the back you did it. 00:18.32 vigorbranding Ah, if Kevin Bentley is listening. He will be laughing ah as well. Our friend Miles Garrett or a miles gift. Um, anyway, we'll we we'll stop talking about vegas because we're not supposed to um Alan say hello and give a little bit of backstory. 00:32.91 Al Hickey Ah, hello everybody at the least proud scotsman of all time but very proud irishman and so yeah and ah founder co co-founder actually of the original company. And with a guy called Sean Murray and then co-founder of Ramo I suppose with with Brian Hickey began life as a delivery fleet. So probably the least software founder you've ever had on your show and and so our life began delivering pias across Europe. Ah, Australia New Zealand built a product for our own use case and I suppose because we just not that there wasn't great product out. They're not good product for us and then the dirty word of business that is pivot. Ah. 01:24.29 vigorbranding And. 01:27.20 Al Hickey We did it in in late 2019 early sorry late 2018 early twenty nineteen harder more difficult more expensive more trauma out than we ever imagined. But here we are now you know a couple of years later not honestly not regretting a single day of any of the decisions we've made so it's been a. It's been awesome and and ultimately what we do is try to make delivery profitable. So if an order's going out of the kitchen if there's a use case for bramo be it own driv

Episode 92 - Brian's Star Wars Toys - The Vintage Rebellion Podcast Top o' the mornin' to ye! That jolly little leprechaun Richard introduces a show recorded on St Patrick's Day, with special guest Brian Hickey hailing from the Emerald Isle. The lads come up with their best blarney as they take a look at the Irish Star Wars connection. There's TV talk, as we look back at the finale of The Book of Boba Fett, where Jason's predictions came scarily true, and then forward to Obi-Wan, with a dive into the latest news and of course that trailer. The lads run down a bumper list of latest acquisitions and give shout outs to some wonderful finds from around the collecting world, followed by a lively Action Figure Face-Off, and a quiz led by Pete, but with a strong Canadian flavour. Rebel Briefings sees the boys hear an amazing Kiwi tale from Mark Catley, look ahead to a collection of conventions, go scouting for toys, discover a body in the River Thames, and ponder the sale of a grail. Our main interview guest Brian Hickey is a photographer with an amazing eye for action shots of action figures, and a talent for recreating movie scenes in miniature. We talk about childhood, collecting, projects, and future plans. The show rounds off not with a bang, but a bag, as the lads look at Frankel & Roth school bags and pencil cases. From Jason's con bag to Spoons' satchel, it's a quick belt through bags and backpacks of all kinds. All this and the usual stuff and nonsense, look out for the podcast in all the usual places. Our technical Jedi, Mr Chris Porteous has also put this altogether on the moving pictures website: https://youtu.be/plhQz6Wis2c

What happens when TV cameras go away? What happens when something like a massive wildfire is put out and a community's recovery begins? That's what KCRA reporter Vicki Gonzalez set out to discover when she followed four families for an entire year who'd lost everything in the Camp Fire.The Camp Fire is the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California history. It broke out on Nov. 8, 2018, virtually wiping out the town of Paradise. 85 people died. 19,000 homes and businesses were destroyed. Survivors told stories that sounded like they were straight out of an action movie. But, there were also remarkable stories of everyday people who found themselves doing extraordinary things to save themselves and others.On this Dying to Ask: I sit down with two of my colleagues whose work led our Camp Fire coverage. First, Brian Hickey and I relive where we were when the first scanner traffic about the fire started. I will never forget Brian's face as he comprehended the magnitude of what first responders were reporting.And then, Vicki Gonzalez tells us the backstory of her one-hour documentary "Return to Paradise." Find out how she chose the four families she followed for a solid year and the affect this project has had on her personally. It's an exceptional look at the devastation and inspiration you'll find in Paradise.

Brian’s specialties are wood signs, art prints, and paintings. Brian currently has his shop set up in his garage and is breaking even in his business as he amasses tools and other necessities. Brian’s social media presence and content is a direct reflection of the intentionality he exemplifies in his career and craft, with him walking to Wal-Mart each day to make a post to Instagram. Coty Skinner is a native Arkansan who, after serving in the United States military, decided to return home and put down roots. He was one of six contestants chosen for season four of Hulu and Deluxe’s Small Business Revolution and hopes to put the expert advice and consultations he received from the show into practice in his business.

The Build Guild was created to demonstrate how three normal, average, and everyday dads are cornering their market while balancing family, fatherhood, and making.
