In this episode, we talk about the origin story of almost all companies, and how they started. If you go to the origin stories of most companies, it's either: I had a crazy idea, I showed it to people, they asked to buy it, I had to figure it out, took their money, built it. Or it's, I have a problem, I built a solution for myself, people saw us using it, asked us if they could use it, and then realized there was a thing there. That s how all companies started.
