How to Validate Real Problems Before You Build Anything
How to Validate Real Problems Before You Build Anything
In this episode of Your Future Biz, Unfiltered, Mandy and Lindsay dive into the uncomfortable truth behind early ideas. They break down why “cool concept” energy is useless without real validation and how to run conversations that tell you whether your idea has actual legs.
This episode walks you through the full validation process. You learn what separates real demand from polite noise, how to structure calls that uncover real problems, and how to spot the patterns that guide your next move. It’s clarity before building, not clarity after the damage is done.
Key Takeaways
• Ideas are assumptions. Validation turns them into evidence.
• You need 100 real conversations, not opinions.
• Urgency shows up in details, not enthusiasm.
• Patterns, not compliments, determine your direction.
• If your problem statement is fuzzy, your offer will be too.
• Validation is decision making, not data collection.
