The Importance of Edge City in Finding Business Ideas
The podcast episode discusses the concept of 'edge city' and its significance in generating innovative business ideas. Edge city refers to living on the fringes of society, surrounded by others who embrace unconventional and edgy concepts. The guest, Justin Maris, shares how his business ideas stem from engaging with health-conscious friends who discuss emerging trends before they become popular. By immersing oneself in edge city, entrepreneurs can identify untapped market opportunities that solve painful problems for a small yet passionate group of people. This approach helps avoid ideas that are either already saturated in the market ('oceans') or lack widespread demand ('puddles'). Instead, entrepreneurs can focus on developing 'wells' - ideas that deeply resonate with a specific niche and prompt a strong desire for a product or service.
