"I have to say, most startup origin stories I've heard seem to begin with personal pain." Personal pain or recognition of a pattern of problem(s) that could be solved?

Otherwise there is no real chance of a business. I'd prefer to put this as, "solving a personal problem that many* other people face"*.

Our personal or work problems are likely shared by thousands, millions, possibly even billions of other people. No one is that weird or special of a snowflake.
