Send us a textEver wondered how someone turns a single TikTok video into a $100,000 month? Or how entrepreneurs with zero coding experience build profitable apps? This candid one-on-one conversation pulls back the curtain on these exact questions.Meet Xanth, a 21-year-old entrepreneur who recently joined the 8am community after generating six figures in profit from one viral video. Now, he's setting his sights on app development—specifically a recipe app concept that could leverage viral sharing mechanics. What unfolds is a masterclass in modern entrepreneurship as Arlin shares his own journey building Maxi, a personal development app that grew to $25,000 monthly revenue without a single line of custom code at the start.The conversation weaves through practical advice about developer relationships (beware of "timeline leak"!), the spiritual side of idea generation, and the transformative power of simply taking action despite uncertainty. You'll hear how successful apps often start as cobbled-together solutions using tools like Webflow and Google Sheets before evolving into proper applications, and why the most valuable ideas often come as "downloads" during moments of meditation or clarity.Whether you're looking to build an app, scale an ecommerce business, or simply understand how today's digital entrepreneurs think, this raw dialogue delivers actionable insights without the fluff. The most powerful takeaway? "If you don't know how to do something, just do it." Sometimes the simplest advice is exactly what we need to hear.

Ian Blair has been an entrepreneur his whole life. As a kid, he sold lemonade, and then graduated to golf balls in adolescence.  While in university, Ian found his calling for the next decade: white-labeling Andrew Gazdecki's Bizness Apps app-building software to churches. Later, he built his own template app builder, except with more customizable features (Bizness Apps meets Wordpress is how he describes it) called BuildFire. He completed his new app-builder in 2014, and through ten years of savvy marketing, helped over 15,000 satisfied customers build custom phone and tablet apps. But Ian always considered himself more of a marketer than a technical founder. In his free time, he'd cooked up an ecommerce project in 2021 – a new take on laundry detergent called Laundry Sauce. In just a year and a half, it brought in eight figures in revenue while Ian was still working at BuildFire pulling 80-hour workweeks. To return funds to investors (and time for himself), Ian sold BuildFire on Acquire.com with the aid of none other than Acquire.com CEO and former competitor, Andrew Gazdecki. Andrew helped Ian close an all-cash offer with an interested buyer, funding a surf trip to Indonesia and enough seed money to feel secure going all-in on his new venture. Listen to Andrew and Ian chat post-acquisition as they discuss: Their unique experiences of the app-builder industry Why modular SaaS businesses are hard to scale Why Ian settled on laundry detergent for his next business Ian is just getting started and you can follow his journey here: Instagram : @ianblair44 laundrysauce.com

Building apps was an arduous, time-consuming, and often budget-draining process. This wasn't a problem for big companies because they had the resources to spend on the project. But for small ventures or startups, it was very challenging. They lacked the vast resources that more prominent companies had at their disposal to undertake comprehensive app development projects.Tooraj Helmi wanted to change this scenario. He realized that the power of artificial intelligence could be harnessed to generate apps swiftly and efficiently. AI could handle the intricate details, from essential features to the database structure, making the app development process faster and more accessible to all.This is how Apsy was born.Apsy is a startup disrupting the app development landscape. It doesn't just stop at creating the app you desire; it goes beyond to offer guidance on competition analysis, app aesthetics, and strategies to ensure profitability.Join us in this episode as we explore how Apsy is reshaping the future of app development and how it could supercharge your business endeavors.

One of the things that set mobile apps apart from desktop software is the scale. Since 2008, when the mobile app stores were launched, and on, scale has been a crucial ingredient for any iOS or Android app project success. For both Apple's and Google's app ecosystems to grow mobile apps had to be affordable for lots of people. But for app developers and brands to make app enterprises profitable, they had to acquire a large number of users. And there is more - in some cases when we talk about a free app from one of the most influential companies on the planet - Gmail app, we're talking about roughly 1.8 billion users. This scale implies some unique challenges we're going to be discussing with Rajesh today. Today's Topics Include: Rajesh Janakiraman's background Definition of app onboarding Challenges of building an app for billions of users - development and management-wise Rajesh's Thoughts on Generative AI in Gmail Toughest projects in Rajesh's career What Rajesh would like to change about tech the most Android or iOS? Rajesh's first mobile phone Leaving his smartphone at home, what features would Rajesh miss most? What features v would like to see added to his smartphone? Links and Resources: Rajesh Janakiraman on LinkedIn Business Of Apps - connecting the app industry Quotes from Rajesh Janakiraman: “Having a product [Gmail] maintained that reputation for so long is a very difficult thing to do" “It's such a massive set of users that you see this whole spectrum of how they use the product." "Just from your device perspective, you see the latest $1,500 Samsung device running the latest version of Android with hundreds of Gb of storage, so it's not gonna matter how much space you take up of their phone, with multiple processors so it's gonna matter how efficient your app is, all the way to the $10 no-name smartphone."

1:1 w/ the team from Nufa. In this video, we're going to be talking about AI bias and ethics. We're going to be discussing the idea of building apps that protect humanity, and not cause more harm. As developers, it's important that we think about how our apps will be used and what kind of impact they'll have. We need to be conscious of the fact that we're building tools that have the potential to cause harm, and we need to make sure that we're making the right choices when it comes to AI bias and ethics. This video is full of information about AI bias and ethics, and we hope you find it useful.

It's no secret that a new generation of powerful and highly scaled language models is taking the world by storm. Companies like OpenAI, AI21Labs, and Cohere have built models so versatile that they're powering hundreds of new applications, and unlocking entire new markets for AI-generated text. In light of that, I thought it would be worth exploring the applied side of language modelling — to dive deep into one specific language model-powered tool, to understand what it means to build apps on top of scaled AI systems. How easily can these models be used in the wild? What bottlenecks and challenges do people run into when they try to build apps powered by large language models? That's what I wanted to find out. My guest today is Amber Teng, and she's a data scientist who recently published a blog that got quite a bit of attention, about a resume cover letter generator that she created using GPT-3, OpenAI's powerful and now-famous language model. I thought her project would be make for a great episode, because it exposes so many of the challenges and opportunities that come with the new era of powerful language models that we've just entered. So today we'll be exploring exactly that: looking at the applied side of language modelling and prompt engineering, understanding how large language models have made new apps not only possible but also much easier to build, and the likely future of AI-powered products. *** Intro music: - Artist: Ron Gelinas - Track Title: Daybreak Chill Blend (original mix) - Link to Track: https://youtu.be/d8Y2sKIgFWc *** Chapters: - 0:00 Intro - 2:30 Amber's background - 5:30 Using GPT-3 - 14:45 Building prompts up - 18:15 Prompting best practices - 21:45 GPT-3 mistakes - 25:30 Context windows - 30:00 End-to-end time - 34:45 The cost of one cover letter - 37:00 The analytics - 41:45 Dynamics around company-building - 46:00 Commoditization of language modelling - 51:00 Wrap-up

In today's episode, we're talking to Baskar Agneeswaran, CEO and Co-Founder at Vajro, a cloud-based mobile commerce platform for building high-converting mobile apps for online stores.   We talk about Baskar's and Vajro's background, how it's possible to build an app within 60 minutes, and how smartphones might evolve over the next 15 years. Baskar also shares the marketing and sales models used by his company.   We discuss the difference between companies that have sales as a growth engine and those that have marketing as a growth engine, and how to strike a balance between these and the product itself. Baskar shares some of the lessons he's learned scaling a company like Vajro. He also explains the different phases of growth.   Finally, we talk about the importance of diversity and how to balance that with alignment around a core mission.   This episode is brought to you by Qrvey The tools you need to take action with your data, on a platform built for maximum scalability, security, and cost efficiencies.

An app in isolation does not equate to a smart building. And yet, over the past six months, activity around tenant engagement platforms has rocketed both in terms of adoption and investment. Following the peak of the pandemic, occupiers and landlords alike have raced to employ every tool in their armoury to attract staff back to offices across the globe. Seamless entry to your building at the click of a button? Done. Heating and ventilation tailored to your personal preferences? No problem. A free coffee and pastry one day a week? You're welcome. Anything to lure people away from the comfort of their own homes. It's not really about complimentary croissants, though. The real currency here, and the one these engagement platforms will rely on when it comes to determining whether they ultimately fail or succeed, is data. And while an app may not a smart building make, mass adoption of an app linked to a smart building platform might. With the right technology in place, the more people you can encourage to sign up to your building app. This means the more insight you have into how they are using the space and, in turn, how your asset can be more efficiently managed. If a free hot drink can bring just a few extra users onboard, that's well worth its weight in coffee beans. At a time when workforce trends have never been in such a state of flux, this level of building intelligence has been upgraded from a nice-to-have to commercial real estate gold dust. If there is anyone who understands the value of tenant app adoption, it's Dan Drogman.  Along with his team, the founder and chief executive of software platform Smart Spaces has integrated the company's software system into just under 40 million sq ft of real estate across the world. “Adoption is the key to those really useful data sets,” he says. “You need to have adoption within your platform and this is the biggest challenge that occupier engagement apps will have to overcome.” So how do you drive that adoption? With over 8000 people already signed up to Smart Spaces's workplace app at AXA IM Alts' 195,000 sq m 22 Bishopsgate, EC2 mere months after the building officially opened its doors, Drogman is the man to ask. Tune in to hear more.

We are more than a year and a half into this pandemic and, aside from the multiple challenges it's brought into our lives, there is this one - are you ready to volunteer to help others, providing your business's services for free? Are you entirely focused on your own survival or you are willing to help people to relieve some of the challenges they're going through? In this episode, Nick, Managing Partner at Swenson He - award-winning digital development company, will tell us the story of how his company's commitment to help people in need hit by COVID-19 and more. Today's Topics Include: ✔️Nick's story starts at MIT, where he was studying to become a bio-engineer and met his future co-founder and COO of Swenson HE Chao He, with whom he shared the same passion about new digital experiences. Nick has been fascinated with building the bridge between digital and the real world and understanding how to make this bridge useful for people based on their perception of it. ✔️Swenson HE is a software development company that works on both mobile and desktop software projects. Their portfolio ranges from Fortune 500 companies to small clients with unique needs. ✔️Luckily Nick's company team was already in the business of changing their operations to understand how they can work remotely prior to COVID-19 and hence the pandemic didn't hit hard his team. ✔️Watching how other businesses were impacted by the pandemic, Nick's team decided to figure out how they can help the most and make the biggest impact. That effort lead to launching several projects, one example was working with the Reach Project to build a platform for their latest initiative: feeding the “Invisible Aggies,” essential employees on the Texas A&M campus, who have been laid off due to Covid19. ✔️The most challenging part of any app development project - engagement, making sure people interact with the app and it brings them real value. ✔️Today innovation in app design is about figuring out how to develop apps that meet today's standards of Gen Ze. ✔️It's hard to pinpoint what today's cutting-edge tech will eventually stay or will be left in the dust over time. ✔️ On which side of the Android & iOS duopoly Sacha is? iOS ✔️ What apps would Nick miss the most if he leaves the smartphone home.
