The Power of Building Community First

Building a community first before introducing a product can lead to better product-market fit. By creating valuable content and engaging with an audience, you can establish a community that will guide the development of your product. Authenticity and trust are essential in community building, as people are more likely to reject inauthenticity. Fishing with a net, rather than a spear, allows for unexpected outcomes and the inclusion of silent audience members. It's important to embrace some direction and control in order to increase the chances of finding what you want. While 1% of people may take advantage of trust, maintaining an optimistic outlook and treating others with respect and kindness is still valuable.
