i hope this was helpful. LIKE/COMMENT/SUBSCRIBE if it was and i'll create more videos like this. you can sign up for free to try gummysearch.com/community. if you use that link, you'll get a discount i think. Update: GummySearch reached out to me and said if you use the promo code GREG, you should get 10% off. Cool! But you can still use GS for free (but you just get limited features). Enjoy.

Unpolished and unscripted, this felt like sitting down for a coffee and a chat with somebody who’s already been through it. Priceless

Great video. A lot of us are scared to actually interview customers, this is a good way to understand their problems.

I tried gummysearch a few times. I find the most challenging is that creative step like when you said connect your spotify to choose your dog breed. I would have never come up with that. No matter how much I read about people's problems I often find that building a solution is way more complex than I thought. It's finding that balance between pain point identified and readily buildable and marketable solution which is super hard for me. Would love to hear your thought on that part. Thanks for sharing your process!
