56: Figuring out a Minimum Viable Product (MVP)

Mar 25, 2025
43:11

This is all about starting small so you can learn faster. We discuss: What even is an MVP (minimum viable product), and what can that look like when your brain wants to build the whole damn thing right now?

We dive into:
 • Why starting small can feel impossible (but necessary)
 • How ADHD leads to both perfectionism and chaotic shipping
 • Stories from the early days of Llama Life, Shelpful. What Jesse is thinking about with his brand-new app he’s about to MVP.
 • Learning to ship, iterate, and let go of “the perfect plan”

Join Jesse, Marie, and Sharon as they share their ADHD-flavored approaches to building and launching—plus the hacks and mindset shifts that helped them actually ship something.
