Talk to two potential customers a day by phone or in person
Hard with no network among creators; few insights and one $99 sale in 30 days

What they did
Host's challenge rule for 30 days: two customer conversations a day (phone or in person), ~15 minutes each, instead of building new features or projects.
What happened
He had no connections in content creation; managed to start some conversations but got limited insight; one customer bought attn.design (~$99).
- Stage
- Pre-launch (pre-revenue)
- Effort
- 30 days, target 2 conversations/day
This shipped together with other changes, so the result can't be credited to this alone.
“The first one, two customer conversations a day, phone, or in person. The information that you'll get from one single 15-minute conversation is more valuable than the 70 apps that you could build.”
“I did not have any connections in the space of content creation. I did manage to get some uh, conversations started, uh, but it wasn't that much that I would get so much inside.”
