> do you look for inspiration from the problems you face?

I find ideas occur naturally and percolate to the top depending on their urgency. I don't execute on 100% of my ideas, just the ones that seem important at the time.

As for external sources for inspiration, I find my own subconscious is a good well to draw from, as 'external' ideas get implanted there over the time, the more I read and absorb from the web & podcasts etc.

I find when I pay attention to some topic for prolonged periods, I feel compelled to act and do something about that topic.
