Marc Andreessen said in his famous blog, "The only thing that matters", "Conversely, in a terrible market, you can have the best product in the world and an absolutely killer team, and it doesn t matter you re going to fail."

If I'm being completely honest, I have built a successful resume maker tool but I'm not passionate at all about resumes. Although it is really rewarding to help people in something as important as their job search, what I am really passionate about is building cool things online and the potential of building a lifestyle business that would allow me to be a time millionaire. But I always wonder how it would feel when both boxes are checked- when you are passionate about the problem you are solving AND passionate about building your own business. Sometimes what you're passionate about is not economically feasible- I would love to develop video games but the market is already saturated. Although having a successful business could leave room for me to use my free time to follow my passion. Then the line can get blurry- am I passionate about the problem my product is trying to solve or passionate about the result of solving that problem? I don't actually care about resumes but I work on it with passion because of the possible outcome ... what is the difference then? I'm sure there are plenty of people on this forum who have had a great money-making idea and went for it. But that's not necessarily in niche that you feel passionate about. What do you think is the extent to which a business can be hindered when the founder(s) have no passion for the problem the business is solving? Do you think it even matters?

Maybe you heard of a Chinese company with over 1000 employees that appointed an AI-powered robot woman as its CEO recently? This makes me ask you a question. What's something you'd never trust an AI to do? (Personally, I'd rather trust an AI do a surgery than regular CEO tasks)
