It’s figuring out what to build, and then actually reaching out to strangers. Finding a path # I found my semi-path almost by accident. I posted on Reddit, got into a conversation with an attorney, heard a real need, and built something to solve it. No grand vision. The idea actually came from my then-girlfriend’s brother-in-law, and funny enough, he never ended up using the thing I built either.
