If I have an idea, am I thinking about it still two weeks later?

For whatever reason, that's just my timeline, two weeks.

I had an idea yesterday, and I was at the airport.

I was excited about it, and I was doing research.

I feel like I forgot about it, right?

Who cares?

But I have ideas where I just cannot get it out of my head, and I'll see something out there in the world that adds to the idea, and I tell my friend about it, and I send these manic voicemails or these manic voice notes to my friends about it, and I'm still thinking about it two weeks later.

That's my signal that there's actually something here.

You used the word validating earlier on when you're talking about these ideas.

And I think this is something that could really, really help a lot of people who have a lot of ideas is this idea of trying to validate your idea as fast as possible.

How might one validate an idea?

And can you give me an example of an idea that you have validated?

What does validation mean?

Yeah, so I like to see people get joy from my product or service, right?

Not just like, oh, it's good.

Like, let's say I'm selling a food product.

It tastes good.

It's good.

Okay, people might buy this, but I'm not gonna have product market fit.

I'm gonna be pushing a boulder up the hill, right?
