Why do I feel more in my element when I build products that don't make money?
Charging for something definitely changes the entire dynamic. There's a lingering pressure to provide clear value that doesn't stop.
With free products, there's a sense of creative freedom. Of course the goal is to still provide value, but you're not really constrained in doing so.
I think there is still opportunity to build a for-profit product in this space that gives you a warm and fuzzy feeling, though.
Lots of "Ikigai" vibes from this post! Thanks for sharing, Jason.
Good points Tim! Yeah definitely listing out the elements of ikigai here.. not thought about that!
