pov: brainstorming $1M+ startup ideas with Daniel Dalen

Synopsis

Greg talks with Daniel Dalen (Ecomflow) about three ideas: (1) a 'Best Product of Year' certification business selling digital badges + physical plaques at ~$200/year with 99% margins; (2) 'embeddable businesses' that place widgets on other people's sites (à la 'Sent with Superhuman'); (3) Shopify ecosystem apps targeting niche pain points. He argues luxury software is over and aesthetic software is the future; bootstrapping over VC; cash-flow-positive businesses; the wealthiest people have the fewest recurring meetings.
