This week on The Lazy CEO, Jane Lu is joined by Meagan Pate, co-founder of STRAAND and COO and co-owner of Three Warriors, to unpack one of the biggest questions every founder faces: how do you know if your business idea is actually any good?

In this episode, they get into:
How to spot a genuine gap in the market versus a product nobody actually wants.
How much validation you need before investing serious money into an idea.
The difference between product-market fit and good marketing.
Knowing when to keep going and when it’s time to kill an idea.
