Should you quit your job to work on your side project?

After a viral article I wrote telling the story of my failures. Many people told me that It was a bad decision to leave my job and go full-time with my own projects. I feel happy, energetic, and full of life when I'm working for myself. I left my job many times because I don't particularly enjoy working for others as an employee. But that didn't work so far. What do you think? When should someone quit and go full-time with their ideas?

Paid app for MVP

What do you think about launching a paid educational app as MVP? I realized it's hard to monetize from apps as there are many free apps. At the same time, some amount of time is required to build a product. People say charge customers in the beginning. So do you think it is okay to launch an app that charges 1$ as a MVP app?

Can't find interviewees.

Hi. I had many articles I want to read but didn't had a time. So I decided to consume them while running by converting them into podcasts. Now I wonder if anybody else also needs it and pay for it (My assumption: audiobook and podcast listeners might pay). My first plan was to get a paying customer and interview them to understand them. So I made a LP and started facebook ads. However, I'm struggling to get a paying customer. Eventually, I've been not talking to people and not learning. That's not good. My second plan: I find people who want to listen to web articles and interview them via video call, but I have no idea where I can find them. How would you do if you were in my shoes? Thank you. https://www.getpodrest.com/
