day 98: the role of serendipity in product discovery.

don't underestimate the "happy accident" in your product journey. sometimes the non-obvious connections bring the most value. like reading an unrelated book and finding your next feature idea. or a casual conversation turning into a partnership. it's easy to tunnel vision on analytics and user feedback. but don't ignore the unexpected sources of wisdom. ever noticed how some of your best ideas don't come from your industry? borrowing from unrelated fields can be enlightening. serendipity isn't pure luck, it's luck meeting preparation. be curious. explore without a direct purpose, but with an open mind. bottom line: widen your net of experiences. read, converse, venture outside your comfort zone. let serendipity work its magic. who knows? the next random article, podcast, or conversation could be the missing puzzle piece for your product.
