Vulnerable talk on picking problems worth solving. "Solve a problem that’s big enough that they’re going to block their whole day." "No matter how much you polish the wrong product, if it's not for a big enough problem, it just won't go anywhere." https://youtu.be/MJAmliXAGLg?si=xWC3Mu3oMn3gQJcN&t=37

Curious, how you think about this: I think one of my flaws is that I think of problems that are TOO big, let’s take economic freedom or decentralized marketplaces as one. It’s usually my starting point, and then I have to get practical but it’s hard to get your mind out of the idealism. How does one balance that with “build something people want”?

an alternate approach to this will be - pick an industry that you're passionate about. start with solving a small problem that creates a wedge for you to actively participate in the industry. this will give you insight into the bigger problems to solve doing " is this problem big enough" theoretically is sometimes crippling & not actionable

So true and I've been burned by this Two litmus tests Ive heard to avoid small problems: 1) if customers aren't emotional when explaining the problem to you, it probably isn't a big problem 2) if customers haven't actively explored alternatives before seeing your solution , it probably isn't a big problem
