In this short monologue, the speaker explains why they begin every business venture by offering free products or services. The primary purpose is to collect real‑world feedback—what customers like, dislike, and where their pain points lie—so the offering can be refined before any money changes hands. By avoiding an upfront charge, the speaker aims to prevent a negative reputation that could arise from a poorly received first version.

Every single business to this day, I still start with free stuff because I want to get feedback from people. I want to know what they like, what they didn't like, what their pain points are. I want to figure out how to, how to smooth out the process. I want to figure out all these different things and me trying to guess at that on my first shot and ask people to pay me. I'm like, I don't want to do that. I'm gonna have a bad reputation. I don't want it.
