After reading about the mom test, what did I learn?
> leading questions and asking whether your product is good is by far a horrible way to test things out
> instead, ask about people's motivations, frustrations, and current ways for solving those frustrations
> even if you have a different goal with a solution (e.g. bristol pound), from a customer-facing perspective it's important to focus on the pain points
