Episode notes

Discussion on the evolving industry, increased workloads, reliance on text messages, and the proposal of an AI solution for plumbers, electricians, and contractors, involving a database of responses and automated tasks like scheduling, estimates, and reviews.

Today, we'll lay out a framework to help you identify and kill bad ideas. It's hard to objectively evaluate your idea early on - this framework helps you rise above your idea to do it effectively. A side-effect is that the framework will help you find and pursue the good ideas.

We talk through 1) Finding and Evaluating the Real Risk, 2) Predicting Organic Growth Potential, and 3) Predicting the Likelihood of Converting Early Customers, using a startup idea from a listener as an example.
