What’s your favourite app you’ve discovered this year?

So far mine has been Summari. The app transforms long text from articles into succinct bullet points. It helps me stay up to date with news in a time-effective manner and it's been super handy (especially in a year like 2022 when there's so much going on). What's yours?

What are you reading right now?

Besides this post ;) I'm currently reading "Founders at Work: Stories of Startups' Early Days" by Jessica Livingston. My 3 takeaways so far: - IQ is a less important factors than determination and perseverance. - Pivoting is normal in startups. It's not a sign of weakness, it's a sign of adaptability. - Startups are painful. Not everyone is cut out for the startup life, but for those who are, it can be an incredibly rewarding experience.

What's one habit you want to develop and one you want to drop?

Our habits assist us in growing or limit our ability to do so. It is indeed not an easy job to give up our bad habits and replace them with positive ones. It requires dedication and willpower. How do you define if any particular habit of yours is good or not? What do you practice to overcome it?

What product started your love of tech?

Do you remember when technology blew your mind for the first time ever and kickstarted your tech ambition? For me it was the iPod Nano, I remember seeing the ad and being hooked on tech and especially music tech ever since.

How important is it to be passionate about the problem your business is solving?

If I'm being completely honest, I have built a successful resume maker tool but I'm not passionate at all about resumes. Although it is really rewarding to help people in something as important as their job search, what I am really passionate about is building cool things online and the potential of building a lifestyle business that would allow me to be a time millionaire. But I always wonder how it would feel when both boxes are checked- when you are passionate about the problem you are solving AND passionate about building your own business. Sometimes what you're passionate about is not economically feasible- I would love to develop video games but the market is already saturated. Although having a successful business could leave room for me to use my free time to follow my passion. Then the line can get blurry- am I passionate about the problem my product is trying to solve or passionate about the result of solving that problem? I don't actually care about resumes but I work on it with passion because of the possible outcome ... what is the difference then? I'm sure there are plenty of people on this forum who have had a great money-making idea and went for it. But that's not necessarily in niche that you feel passionate about. What do you think is the extent to which a business can be hindered when the founder(s) have no passion for the problem the business is solving? Do you think it even matters?
