For your first question, I guess it is just in the eye of the beholder. :) I am not sure I completely understand your second question. Are you asking for my perspective on just following one's passion and finding a way to make it work, versus a more analytical approach of looking at a market need and going that direction? I am not sure what "perceived effort" has to do with it; either approach would be a lot of work. First and foremost, I believe in following your passion. I do not build companies/technologies for the money - I do it because I truly love it. I am happy that some of those ventures have been profitable, but my first priority has always been to do something which I am passionate about. That is what brings me happiness and everything else is just icing on the proverbial cake. Thanks for the comments. If you have any other questions or would like to discuss it more, feel free to shoot me an email . Susan: Thank you for checking out the podcast.
