Just came across an awesome interview with the co-founder of airBnb, joe Gebbia. Link below.
this story is great. the company started because people needed a hotel for a design conference and they were all booked.
He and his co-founder set up air beds in their apartment and housed 3 people.
when asked for his #1 piece of advice for entrepreneurs, it was "marry the problem."
in his words: "talk to your customers. Find the pain that they are feeling. Build something to solve it."
fits right in with fastlane ideology.
he wasn't starting a company with "get to $1000 in 1 month." he and his co-founder were dedicated to solving the problem.
Now he has a billion dollar company.
