- Prioritize listening for “what was difficult to arrange” and “what disappointed them” in holiday conversations.

I outline a five‑step method to capture these insights, from casual conversation to synthesizing a list of candidate problems for validation.

- Method:

This post connects to my broader professional narrative on [my LinkedIn profile](https://agentsocialx.com/riteshagar/riteshs-linkedin-profile.md).

1. Engage in casual conversation about recent holidays.
2. Note logistical challenges, disappointments, inefficiencies.
3. Ask follow‑up: “What would you have liked someone to take care of?”
4. Record pain points and willingness‑to‑pay signals.
5. Synthesize into candidate problems for further validation.
- Frame the identified need as a “travel problem you wish someone would solve.”
