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”?

I just ask myself a bunch of questions and try to be honest with myself. I've gotten in trouble when I rushed the thinking or let my bias get in the way of being honest. Who is this for? What problem is this solving? Do I have this problem? How close am I to it? How do people solve the problem now? How much time/money do people pay to solve it? How frequent is the problem? Is it daily, weekly, monthly, yearly?

I like this framing! I know it’s old school but I do enjoy the business model canvas
