The Mom Test Book Review – How Entrepreneurs Can Talk to Customers and more

Why do so many founders waste months—or even years—building products nobody wants? The truth is simple: when you ask people (friends, family, even potential customers) whether your business idea is good, most will lie to you. They don’t want to hurt your feelings—especially your mom.

In The Mom Test, entrepreneur and author Rob Fitzpatrick shares a practical framework for customer conversations that reveal the truth. Instead of asking for opinions (“Would you buy this?”), you’ll learn to ask about behaviors, problems, and past experiences—questions that cut through polite lies and uncover real needs.

This book review and interactive discussion is perfect for founders, startup teams, product managers, and anyone validating an idea. Whether you’re launching a tech product, a service, or a creative project, mastering the art of honest feedback can save you time, money, and frustration.

Challenge: Why do traditional customer interviews produce misleading feedback that leads to failed products?

Breakthrough: The Mom Test shows how to frame questions so that even your mom—who loves you and never wants to discourage you—can’t lie. The result: insights that actually reflect market reality.
