Jason’s ultimate dream mega-purchase + Founder Q’s | E2228

Now that you're doing so well financially, what is a purchase that you'd like to make but can't bring yourself to do so because it feels too extravagant? Answer this honestly. Tell the people what you, even Jason Calacanis, will not break out the checkbook for. It's definitely private aviation. I've been trying to hold off on doing this for a long time. The great unjustifiable expense of spending, you know, $50,000 going somewhere or a 100,000 on a round trip, that seemed absurd to spend that. The other one, I would say, that I sometimes sweat is buying a really expensive sports car. I love Corvettes, and I really wanna buy a barn dominion, which is like a big open fancy barn that's kinda like a man cave, but Texas style.

Today's founder question, Jason, comes from our dear friends over at the r/startups subreddit, and I found a question that I had absolutely never seen before. So I thought it was the perfect thing to bring to us today. From our our dear friend Entire Chest, quote, I signed a $20,000 paid pilot, but it's a shark bite problem. Interesting framing. Shark bites are big crises because you're bleeding versus mosquito bite, just kind of irritation. They found a big problem to solve. What they did was they found that there's trucking companies that transport fluids, and often they get the wrong fluid in the wrong truck or the wrong truck goes to the wrong destination. And so they made a product to fix this, and they signed a $20,000 pilot. They found a problem in the market. They made a solution for it. And then they went out and did more market research and discovered that other people in the fluid trucking industry don't have this problem. They seem to have found a uniquely messed up first customer. And so I was just really curious, how common is it to accidentally index on the wrong customer and drive in the wrong way? This is …
