Here's what I learned:
You don't have to cure cancer to solve a big problem.
You don't need a tech startup.
You don't need venture capital.
You need to see a problem clearly.
Then build something that solves it.
I saw lonely people.
I built a place for them to gather.
I gave them a shared hobby.
A shared goal.
A reason to show up.
The best businesses are born by solving problems.
The most profitable businesses solve big problems.
Loneliness is a big problem.
Community is the solution.
I just happen to sell Pokemon cards while I'm at it.
