I've hosted over 100 events ranging from intimate 16 person dinners to 100+ person activations and realized there's only one alpha to getting repeat attendees: how well you can help people connect.

Only 3 episodes into the App Leaders podcast and I genuinely think we're building the best long-form show in the app space. Just watched the final cut for the upcoming episode with the man that has mastered UGC & influencer marketing and man, I'm cheesing that I get to build relationships with some of the best leaders in the space. If you're building or marketing an app right now, I promise you're in for a treat

$1,000 in Apple Ads gets you 15 paying subscribers in the US vs 65 in Brazil. Most app founders burn budget trying to scale across markets like the US and GB where CPT climbs over $1.60. Meanwhile, markets like Romania hit 77% CR at low CPT. Experiment around and look at different geographies to test your funnel and grow

Met up with @gabe__perez on the other side of the world in Tokyo. He's building a few consumer apps right now and one of them is honestly crazy. Watch what he drops next.

Making apps is objectively one of the most fun businesses you can be in. Because you can build any feature you want so fast w/ AI, design cool interfaces using your own taste, become your own creative director/ ads & content, and infinitely impact people's lives

Trust, if your app even makes $1, you've officially made it out of the void. Make over $1k? You're doing what almost everyone is unable to do. Keep grinding :)

Social media makes building apps seem like a get-rich-quick scheme. Going from idea to your first dollar actually looks like this: Step 1: Think you're building the future. Step 2: Design a feature that's sick. Step 3: Tell Claude to one-shot the app. Step 4: Think you're 90% done. Step 5: Add an account deletion flow for zero active users because you saw a reminder on X. Step 6: Make a dummy login account just so App Review can test your onboarding. Step 7: Get rejected because you forgot to connect your app products to your revenue system. Step 8: Connect your app to recorrect. Step 9: Resubmit. Step 10: Get approved and go out to celebrate with the boys. Step 11: It's day 10 and you still haven't made a dollar because you think shipping features will move the lever. Step 12: After a month, you decide to lock in on distribution. Step 13: Crack your first 10k view video and earn your first ever MRR. Step 14: the journey continues

I recently said "let's hang out later" to a stranger in Kyoto knowing i'd never follow through. But the next day i'm coming back from a run and he's walking out to an onsen… Three hours later we're at a sushi spot talking about our entire lives. I filmed a little tiktok about it. It got millions of views. Newsweek wrote about it. And best of all, we got to connect on the phone again this week.
