Welcome press 1 if you can hear me and see me alright.

I'm very sorry for being, what is it now?

Got the chat just exploding like, FUCK FARZEL WHY ARE YOU SLOW LATE ALL THE TIME?

I had the bowl cut before so I went to my barber and I said yo I gotta stream.

Real quick, rate yourself out of 10 how you feeling?

Rate yourself out of 10 how are you feeling?

10 being oh my god I've never felt better in my entire life.

I was like asking the question because I want to mention to you that like if you feel like you're below A6I would maybe turn the stream off and go for a walk But if you feel like the stream is gonna improve your mood then stick around and if you're above a 6 welcome I'm glad you're feeling alright By the way, we got what do you got all think about the setup right this setup out of 10?

If you know what movie it is, I'll be very surprised.

Well, actually, I won't be that surprised because it's 1 of the most popular movies of all time.

We also got this light here, which you can change by the way by doing the exclamation mark stuff exclamation mark red exclamation mark blue Etc, but alright everybody we have a lot to get through today.

I'm gonna try to keep this keep us exactly on 1 hour So it's 1140 right now.

By the way, I am reading chat, but it's going very fast So just so you know in situations like these where we have 2, 600 people in the chat room I may not get to every single message.

Actually, I will definitely not read every single message, but we have a lot of moderators in the chat.

So if you have questions or if you have specific things that you want help with, we have like 5 moderators in the chat right now.

I'm just gotta I'm just shout out to Josh.

The guy behind like all the aesthetics at BuildSpace in terms of visuals So there he is covered by the chat.

Today we're talking all about ideas Before we get started today, I want to kind of mention a couple of things.

You all are talking and just being so exciting and loud on socials.

And honestly, it's, it's actually really like, it's causing us to go like Super Saiyan 3 at this point, because at the end of the day, you have to remember at BuildSpace, I'm just a human.

And I think it's really, really cool to see you all vibing with a lot of our ideas.

You know, the banners that we put out, the wallpapers that we put out, the houses, everything.

I know we almost had like 7, like so many, thousands of new people join BuildSpace and it's like, it just makes us feel a little bit better Knowing that we aren't like just doing this for no reason and you know, I saw some crazy images on Twitter on the left I see like Alterac College dorm setup on the right you see the pro Alterac set up it's pretty cool actually it's pretty wild but yeah we have all these setups happen we have all these people posting their setups with their wallpapers we have all these people who are posting like their their house names on Twitter on LinkedIn on Instagram I love I love like the I love to see the Instagram ones, I love to see the LinkedIn ones.

Across like 3 platforms, people are actually posting this stuff.

Like I would not think that LinkedIn, people on LinkedIn would just post our banner, but it's pretty cool to see it happening.

This is a person who literally made like an augmented reality like card for Erevald.

Anyways, I just want to say thank you so much for making us feel less crazy.

You have to understand, everybody, we're in our office working on this shit.

Working on these wallpapers, working on these like houses, working on all this.

It's like it's hard to almost not feel crazy, right?

It's like damn is anybody gonna give a shit about this?

All we can do is the same thing that you can do which is just Come up with an idea and put it out, right?

And honestly, I'm going to mention this as well.

You're going to start seeing a lot of people on socials, like pretty regularly.

You may see some people who like you see kind of often, who are being really loud.

I think for those people who you start seeing pretty often, just doing a lot of interesting stuff around BuildSpace, I would say start to pay attention to them.

Because they are people that you may want to follow up with, right?

They're people that are putting in the work.

I want to give you a quick tip on how to...

into today's lecture, I want to give you a very quick tip on socials because we're getting a lot of questions.

Everybody's asking me like, Farza, do I need a Twitter?

Farza, do I need to be a social media god to be a build space?

Like, So let me just tell you real quick, here at BuildSpace, a lot of the party does happen specifically on other social medias, right?

And I think it's up to you to find the party.

So real quick, the easiest place to find the party is Twitter.

Twitter is like 70% of people are like A lot of that like a lot of the audience is on Twitter, right?

So the easiest thing is just to go on Twitter search for build space and start following people, right?

So we have like We started to amass a pretty big following on LinkedIn, and it's been pretty cool to kind of witness there.

So again, you have to actually put in some work to search for BuildSpace on LinkedIn and then follow some people.

I'm not calling it X, I'm calling it Twitter.

And then finally we have Instagram, right?

Instagram is a platform where it's like, I'll talk more about it today But again searching for BuildSpace, seeing people posting about BuildSpace and following those people It's kind of up to you to go to the party You know what I mean?

Like the party is not just gonna show up at your door.

You have to actually go knock on some doors, walk through some doors, and find the party.

If you're expecting the party to show up, I'm sorry, that's not how it works.

Press 1 if you've downloaded the OS, press 2 if you haven't.

Or press 1 if you downloaded it or set it as your homepage.

I want to mention it real quick because the OS is actually super important and I feel like I didn't cover it completely at kickoff.

So the OS itself looks something like this, right?

The OS itself is a Chrome extension, right?

Every time you open a new tab, it takes over your new tab page, has a countdown timer for you up to demo day and it has everything you need like recordings, assets, it even has like important links right and it's supposed to feel like a computer.

It's supposed to feel like an old like an old apple style computer.

So I highly recommend if you don't have the OS that you get it because everything is gonna be posted here.

And again, if you don't have, what do you call it?

If you use Safari, Firefox or something else, no worries.

And of course, like I said, it's gonna, like literally everything will be on the OS from here on, from today onwards.

Like everything at BuildSpace, that we do so much at BuildSpace, so many tutorials, so many videos, important links, and these things get lost.

A note on text messages a lot of people still are not signed up for the whatsapp or the text messages so please join the whatsapp for your house or if you don't use whatsapp add my contact And if you don't know how to do that, do !start and go to step 4 at the bottom.

But yeah, you should have already received all the links in your inbox.

But if you still don't have it for some reason, !start, And those are all the steps that you need.

That's all the boring stuff I got for you all.

Or just the important things you just gotta know about.

Everybody has a problem with every platform.

There's no winning sometimes You know you pick 1 platform somebody else gets mad you pick another platform other person gets mad.

It's rough out here at BuildSpace You'll always have like the 10 people that are like this is trash Pharsa And then 90% of people are like, this is great for us.

Let's stop talking about new messaging platforms in the chat.

I want to cover a couple the whole point of today's lecture is to actually is to actually get you all on the same page about your idea and what it means to have a good idea.

Real quick how many of you have an idea right now?

Like how many of you feel like you have a pretty solid idea of what you're working on?

From 1 to 10, 10 being I feel very solid, 0 being I have absolutely no idea, I have nothing, 5 being like, oh okay I got something, I got some sort of direction, you know?

My hope is most of you are at least around a 5.

And my goal with this lecture is to actually get you closer to a 10.

Because you're probably closer to a 10 than you think.

If you're at 0, you're actually much closer to a 10 than you may think.

But I think remember, almost all of you are at so many different starting points.

Some of you are just starting out with an idea, some of you have already thousands of fans on your idea, you're at all sorts of starting points.

But I want to quickly get some stuff out of the way about ideas.

I like actually hate the word idea and that's that's why I actually want to cover it here today.

Everybody gets stuck on this very first step which is the idea.

I'm gonna get started here just be very real with you all.

Ideas are extremely overrated And let me tell you why.

Ideas are literally just starting points.

Everybody thinks that an idea is this master plan the person has in their head that they bring to reality.

In the normal world, that's not really how it works.

In reality, ideas are often just starting points.

It's like you're going to go on this adventure, and you need a place to start the adventure.

Now, of course, there are some ideas which get you, you know, closer to the more advanced adventure.

But at the end of the day, like, it doesn't really matter too much.

I'm not gonna sit here and tell you there aren't bad ideas and there aren't good ideas, right?

But at the end of the day, almost all ideas are similar to me.

Your Pikachu turns into other things, you know?

I wanna actually cover a couple of ideas that are I wanna cover a couple of Ideas in the real world and tell you a little bit about them.

How do you how many of you have played this game press 1 if you've played angry birds love it or hate it angry birds?

Was fucking everywhere when I was a kid and it's actually still everywhere.

It's still popping off I used to love this game right as a kid and I still played it like I put it on an airplane the other day, it was pretty cool.

With Angry Birds, can you guess which number game Angry Birds was for these developers?

Which game do you think- number game do you think it was?

Now, that doesn't mean the other 29 ideas were trash.

It means that the other 29 ideas led to up on which is Angry Birds.

I don't want you to think that these people spent, you know, worked on 29 vastly different ideas.

They worked on the same idea which is we want to make fun mobile games and their 30th idea actually worked out.

Anybody know who this person is on the left?

I'll give you a hint his movie is playing right there That's George Lucas now, you know, I'm I'm not like a massive Star Wars fan But I appreciate Star Wars and I read George Lucas's book his biography 1 of the best biographies I've ever read, by the way.

And I always thought that Star Wars was this magical thing that popped out of this guy's head.

You know, he had this magical idea and, and it, and, sorry, someone in the chat just said, I'm not going to say it.

But, What's interesting about Star Wars is that he spent almost 5 years working on this script?

But what's important is that he would every week write some of the script and then every week show some of his friends.

For almost 5 years straight, this man did this, right?

It's pretty cool to think that He didn't just come up with this idea randomly in his head.

It started out as nothing more than- Actually, the thing it started out with was way worse, by the way.

It was like a comedy about aliens, right?

And it's cool to see where he ended up nearly 5 years later.

Remember, ideas are just starting points.

Yes, this is the James Dyson he this is 1 of his first designs for his Dyson He he had almost can you guess how many prototypes this guy had take a guess in the chat?

How many prototypes did he have for the Dyson that he just made in his garage and showed his family and friends?

I believe it's 3, 500 was the right number.

But Jeffery, you can confirm in the chat.

You have to understand That this guy started out with nothing more than an idea But over time he kept on working on the idea kept on prototyping it and eventually Kept showing to more people and eventually made it out, right?

And by the way, I'm not sitting here and telling you that this is how you make an idea successful.

What I'm getting at is this is how you push your idea forward.

Your ideas start off as nothing more than drawings, right?

Nothing more than like random games about birds being shot.

And over time, you have to trust the process.

And of course, the last 1, probably my favorite example of all time these are 2 guys that just wanted to sell some computers at their in their local neighborhood and nearly 40 years 50 years later nearly all of us are using or nearly all of us have used or have heard of 1 of their devices.

This is Apple, Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak.

So remember that these guys weren't- You have to understand here, this is actually like an important thing to note.

It's not like these guys literally said, hey, we are going to fucking take over the world with computers, man.

No, it started off as something way dumber.

It was just like, hey, you know computers, I can sell computers.

Let's see if we can make a couple thousand dollars off of computers.
