Yeah
I
literally
don't
know
how
to
code
at
all
Meet
George
a
college
student
who
had
never
written
a
single
line
of
code
in
his
life
That
was
until
he
discovered
coding
with
AI
I
truly
believe
that
anyone
can
build
a
mobile
app
these
days
In
just
a
couple
months
he
came
up
with
an
idea
he
built
it
and
then
he
launched
it
to
the
App
Store
I
went
from
idea
to
the
App
Store
in
one
month
Now
that
app
that
he
built
generates
over
17
000
a
month
month
George
is
proof
that
with
a
little
determination
anybody
can
do
this
And
I
brought
him
onto
the
channel
to
show
me
how
he
did
it
And
in
this
video
we'll
talk
about
his
six
step
vibe
coding
process
that
helped
him
launch
his
app
the
vibe
coding
tool
he
uses
to
ship
his
apps
quickly
and
the
marketing
playbook
he
followed
to
grow
his
app
to
over
17
000
a
month
All
right
this
is
one
that
you
cannot
miss
I'm
Pat
Walls
and
this
is
Starter
Story
All
right
real
quick
you
are
about
to
hear
a
crazy
story
about
how
George
this
college
kid
built
and
launched
his
app
with
AI
I
think
you're
gonna
love
this
story
and
if
it
inspires
you
I
also
think
you
should
definitely
check
out
Starter
Story
Build
It
is
our
program
where
you
will
learn
exactly
how
to
do
what
George
did
and
what
he's
gonna
share
with
you
today
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
on
that
later
so
let's
get
into
the
interview
All
right
George
welcome
to
the
channel
Tell
me
about
who
you
are
what
you
built
and
what's
your
story
Yeah
so
my
name's
George
Lampropoulos
I
launched
an
app
that
makes
17
000
per
month
I
launched
within
the
last
six
months
and
I'm
excited
to
share
how
I
did
it
today
All
right
17
000
a
month
with
an
app
in
just
a
few
months
is
insane
What
is
the
app
you
built
and
how
is
it
possible
possible
that
you
can
make
this
much
money
in
such
a
short
amount
of
time
Yeah
so
Wrestle
ai
is
like
an
AI
wrestling
coach
We
use
video
analysis
where
you
could
submit
videos
of
your
match
and
it
breaks
down
what
you
did
right
what
you
did
wrong
and
how
you
could
improve
and
it
gives
you
drills
and
actionable
plans
on
how
you
can
actually
improve
your
wrestling
wrestling
Our
pricing
is
9
99
for
the
month
and
then
59
99
for
the
year
All
right
so
this
is
my
Revenue
Cat
dashboard
We
launched
Wrestle
ai
September
26th
So
I
look
at
our
MRR
our
MRR
is
8
000
from
monthly
subscriptions
and
then
the
rest
are
yearlies
but
we
accrue
a
lot
of
yearlies
because
we
attach
the
trial
to
the
yearly
option
Yeah
so
we've
done
over
2
million
impressions
on
social
media
Download
wise
I
think
we're
around
17
000
All
right
so
that's
insane
that
you
vibe
coded
this
in
the
last
couple
months
and
you're
doing
these
kind
of
numbers
Before
we
get
into
how
you
vibe
coded
it
and
how
you
grew
it
and
how
you
did
all
the
marketing
I
gotta
understand
your
background
Tell
me
a
little
bit
more
about
you
and
how
you
even
got
into
building
apps
So
I'm
18
right
now
I'm
a
freshman
in
college
I've
always
hated
school
with
like
a
burning
passion
and
I
was
always
trying
my
own
things
trying
ways
to
make
money
Then
at
15
I
had
a
decent
amount
of
money
saved
up
for
a
15
year
old
and
I
told
my
friend
I
go
let's
go
all
in
Let's
make
this
social
self
improvement
app
Our
app
went
viral
on
social
media
We
had
10K
followers
waiting
for
our
app
We
had
to
hire
like
three
development
agencies
None
of
them
got
it
right
It
took
us
a
year
and
a
half
to
finally
release
the
app
and
at
that
point
the
hype
died
and
we
lost
just
all
our
money
I
had
to
pick
up
a
job
at
TJ
Maxx
to
get
some
money
and
I
think
that
that
was
the
catalyst
of
my
obsession
with
startups
because
I
always
walked
around
with
like
a
chip
on
my
shoulder
shoulder
that
I
was
kind
of
meant
to
succeed
and
when
I
saw
that
my
brains
won't
work
I
was
like
all
right
I
just
have
to
be
absolutely
relentless
on
how
I
attack
like
creating
things
and
starting
things
and
I
just
got
to
keep
going
until
something
eventually
does
work
All
right
you
shared
earlier
that
you
tried
to
work
with
developers
before
and
build
stuff
didn't
really
necessarily
work
out
super
well
but
now
as
I
understand
you
vibe
coded
this
entire
thing
and
you
didn't
have
a
crazy
background
in
development
or
engineering
Tell
me
a
little
bit
more
about
that
Did
you
actually
vibe
code
this
app
yourself
Yeah
so
this
all
started
six
months
ago
around
in
June
I
was
scrolling
on
social
media
I
saw
an
ad
for
a
vibe
coding
platform
called
Rourke
and
it
said
I
built
seven
apps
in
a
week
week
and
I
go
that
can't
be
true
and
I
decided
to
try
it
out
I
don't
know
how
to
code
at
all
but
I
do
understand
the
systems
and
how
to
get
conversions
from
these
apps
and
how
to
build
kind
of
viral
ideas
So
I
used
Rourke
for
whoever
doesn't
know
as
a
vibe
coding
platform
and
I
also
leveraged
a
bunch
of
public
APIs
out
there
to
build
some
of
the
functionality
It
took
me
around
a
month
from
the
idea
to
being
live
on
the
app
store
From
June
to
July
1st
that's
when
I
launched
and
in
that
month
it
was
just
a
bunch
of
attempts
with
ChatGPT
and
Rourke
to
build
something
that
kind
of
works
Basically
I
would
try
to
port
the
app
from
Rourke
to
TestFlight
and
there
was
just
a
bunch
of
issues
So
anytime
there
was
an
issue
with
Expo
I
would
just
copy
the
logs
throw
the
logs
into
ChatGPT
and
I
kind
of
had
ChatGPT
as
my
advisor
and
it
kind
of
guided
me
through
this
whole
process
Now
I
had
to
hire
out
one
developer
to
integrate
payments
and
authentication
I
spent
the
first
week
of
June
on
Rourke
prompting
nonstop
until
I
got
something
that
I
like
From
there
I
passed
it
on
to
the
developer
If
you
need
something
simple
as
integrating
a
paywall
that's
a
super
easy
task
So
I
paid
someone
on
Fiverr
like
250
That
took
him
about
a
week
and
then
the
last
two
weeks
were
just
spent
dealing
with
Apple's
nonsense
and
rejections
George
is
proof
that
vibe
coding
actually
works
I
don't
know
how
else
I
can
prove
it
to
you
guys
but
the
best
part
about
this
is
that
we
are
still
so
early
in
this
whole
vibe
coding
thing
I
truly
believe
that
learning
to
build
with
AI
is
the
skill
of
the
next
decade
and
this
is
why
I
think
you
should
check
out
Starter
Story
Build
It
is
our
program
where
we
will
teach
you
how
to
use
AI
to
build
anything
You'll
learn
how
to
find
an
idea
build
it
quickly
and
ship
it
in
just
a
couple
weeks
If
you
want
to
get
in
on
this
and
actually
build
something
I'm
gonna
put
a
link
in
the
description
to
our
iOS
bootcamp
In
that
bootcamp
you
will
learn
how
to
do
basically
everything
George
did
in
just
a
couple
weeks
Our
next
cohort
is
starting
soon
so
just
head
to
that
link
in
the
description
if
you
want
to
enroll
All
right
let's
get
back
to
the
story
The
next
question
that
I
have
for
you
is
if
you
were
to
start
over
today
obviously
you
did
this
in
the
last
couple
months
but
a
lot
of
people
are
gonna
be
watching
this
thinking
how
can
I
do
this
right
now
in
2025
in
2026
If
you
had
to
start
over
what
would
be
your
step
by
step
process
for
creating
a
somewhat
viral
app
like
you
did
if
you
were
to
start
over
Yeah
so
step
one
obviously
is
the
idea
I
think
that's
one
of
the
most
important
parts
along
with
distribution
There's
a
lot
of
talk
now
that
distribution
is
the
most
important
part
I
kind
of
push
back
against
that
because
if
you
don't
have
a
viral
idea
in
nature
distribution
doesn't
matter
So
in
my
opinion
there
are
three
pillars
for
a
good
idea
Uniqueness
helpfulness
and
the
gotcha
moment
You
need
uniqueness
so
it
catches
eyes
You
need
helpfulness
so
it
has
some
stickiness
And
you
need
that
gotcha
moment
that's
built
into
the
app
that
easily
conveys
what
your
app
does
in
about
five
seconds
The
gotcha
moment
is
the
moment
that's
going
to
stop
someone
from
scrolling
think
I
need
to
try
this
app
out
That
idea
the
gotcha
moment
would
be
in
the
back
of
my
head
whenever
I'm
designing
apps
I
go
what
could
be
something
that
I
could
seamlessly
integrate
into
a
TikTok
YouTube
short
whatever
that
will
get
someone
to
stop
scrolling
Right
around
the
time
I
launched
Wrestle
ai
I
launched
another
app
in
collaboration
with
an
influencer
that
had
a
million
followers
This
app
however
was
not
a
novel
idea
like
Wrestle
ai
It
was
a
concept
similar
to
like
RizGBT
and
Plug
ai
Both
Wrestle
ai
and
this
app
got
around
over
a
million
close
to
two
million
impressions
at
the
time
Except
Wrestle
ai
was
getting
conversions
getting
downloads
and
doing
really
well
While
this
app
Green
that
I
launched
got
I
think
a
hundred
downloads
off
like
1
8
million
impressions
Solely
because
this
app
didn't
follow
the
purple
cow
philosophy
It
wasn't
something
that
was
abstract
and
eye
catching
So
now
going
into
the
future
any
app
I
build
it
needs
to
be
novel
It
needs
to
be
something
that
hasn't
been
seen
before
or
else
your
creatives
won't
convert
as
well
So
step
two
is
designing
the
app
So
you
need
to
answer
the
question
who
is
it
for
What
type
of
UI
would
fit
the
prospective
buyer
And
then
you
need
to
build
out
the
framework
first
and
then
the
functionality
So
I'm
literally
answering
these
questions
who's
it
for
and
what
type
of
UI
would
fit
them
And
I'm
taking
that
answer
and
literally
just
giving
it
to
Roar
Roar
And
you
also
need
to
have
in
the
back
of
your
head
how
could
users
organically
share
your
app
This
way
it's
not
just
all
ads
then
pushing
your
traffic
Step
three
building
out
the
core
functionality
So
whenever
I'm
starting
a
new
app
I
set
aside
a
week
to
literally
just
sit
at
my
computer
and
prompt
Roar
from
morning
till
night
During
this
time
you're
going
to
have
to
figure
out
how
Superbase
works
if
you
want
to
implement
APIs
or
not
Roar
does
offer
a
ton
of
APIs
as
part
of
their
toolkit
as
well
But
if
you
want
to
add
external
APIs
like
a
nutrition
database
if
you're
building
out
a
calorie
tracker
there's
just
so
many
things
out
there
that
don't
cost
much
money
and
will
make
your
app
10
000
times
better
So
I
highly
recommend
being
on
the
lookout
for
some
good
APIs
that
you
can
integrate
into
your
app
So
step
four
onboarding
This
is
the
second
most
important
part
of
your
app
You
can
have
a
great
app
but
if
you
can't
convert
the
user
no
one
will
know
The
onboarding
by
nature
is
designed
to
convey
what
value
you're
giving
to
the
user
So
the
key
to
making
a
good
onboarding
is
copying
what
already
works
I
would
spend
hours
just
studying
other
people's
onboarding
processes
and
applying
the
things
I
saw
in
their
apps
to
my
app
Some
great
onboarding
processes
are
Opal
CalAI
just
look
up
whatever
apps
that
are
high
converting
copy
their
onboarding
and
apply
the
same
elements
to
your
onboarding
If
I
had
to
summarize
the
formula
for
my
onboarding
process
it
would
be
first
to
educate
the
user
about
what
the
app
does
Second
personalize
the
experience
with
guiding
questions
that
both
set
up
the
app
for
them
and
guides
them
to
why
they
need
the
app
And
then
I
would
try
to
enact
FOMO
of
them
not
having
the
app
And
lastly
is
showing
them
the
gotcha
moment
like
having
them
do
the
gotcha
moment
but
not
giving
the
results
before
the
paywall
So
the
length
of
the
onboarding
process
also
contributes
to
how
many
people
convert
Although
it
does
add
friction
it
also
makes
the
people
who
go
through
it
have
the
sunken
cost
fallacy
which
causes
users
to
at
least
get
the
free
trial
Step
five
hire
out
what
you
don't
know
how
to
do
The
greatest
return
on
investment
that
I've
had
during
this
whole
process
was
probably
hiring
my
developer
from
Pakistan
A
good
hire
can
really
change
your
trajectory
I
got
really
lucky
to
be
honest
with
finding
good
talent
early
on
in
the
process
I
think
a
big
key
thing
to
do
is
sell
whoever
you're
working
with
on
your
vision
and
they
will
work
really
hard
to
kind
of
get
you
there
because
they
feel
like
they're
a
part
of
something
bigger
And
another
thing
is
I
think
AI
now
is
the
great
equalizer
of
education
With
tools
like
ChatGPT
if
you
can
hire
someone
that's
relatively
smart
and
they
know
how
to
utilize
AI
to
learn
not
just
code
they'll
probably
be
able
to
fulfill
90
of
your
needs
If
you're
going
to
hire
someone
have
them
work
on
a
small
task
that
you
think
they
can
do
If
they
excel
at
it
then
start
giving
them
more
responsibility
Step
six
this
is
kind
of
where
I'm
at
now
and
it's
expanding
past
5koding
So
5koding
is
great
to
release
quickly
and
validate
ideas
by
building
out
an
MVP
But
once
you
start
moving
past
5k
a
month
you
should
start
investing
in
product
quality
Now
I
have
contracted
designers
and
I
have
some
people
that
work
for
us
Another
thing
is
probably
discipline
as
you
start
getting
these
bigger
numbers
I
actually
haven't
taken
a
penny
out
of
this
business
yet
and
I'm
not
going
to
take
a
penny
out
of
this
business
until
we're
at
100k
MRR
Yeah
so
that
would
probably
be
my
whole
process
And
now
I'm
currently
in
step
six
kind
of
building
out
past
5koding
And
I'm
just
really
excited
for
the
future
Thank
you
for
sharing
that
That's
amazing
And
it's
absolutely
insane
that
you
5koded
this
in
the
last
few
months
I
know
a
lot
of
people
watching
this
are
saying
right
now
OK
that's
cool
you
built
it
but
building
doesn't
matter
anymore
It's
all
about
distribution
So
let's
talk
about
it
How
did
you
market
your
apps
And
how
do
you
think
about
marketing
your
apps
and
getting
users
and
making
revenue
Yeah
so
my
whole
strategy
when
it
comes
to
marketing
these
apps
it's
all
been
from
influencers
Just
influencer
marketing
quick
snapping
the
gotcha
moment
just
kind
of
keep
going
and
scaling
that
up
I
think
influencer
marketing
is
so
valuable
so
much
that
my
co
founder
is
actually
one
of
the
biggest
people
in
the
wrestling
influencing
space
So
we
launched
with
him
He
was
a
great
first
push
for
us
When
we
released
we
set
up
a
pre
order
to
be
on
the
top
charts
So
the
day
we
released
we
were
like
18
on
the
app
store
just
from
his
influence
And
then
going
into
month
two
that's
when
we
began
to
kind
of
saturate
his
audience
which
you
always
have
to
be
wary
of
From
there
I
took
about
500
bucks
and
I'm
like
all
right
now
that
we've
saturated
Caden's
audience
and
we're
a
little
bit
known
in
the
wrestling
industry
we
took
the
money
threw
it
into
marketing
and
generated
so
far
Now
we're
at
like
13k
for
this
month
I'm
probably
gonna
have
to
invest
another
250
before
the
month
ends
But
influencer
marketing
has
just
been
great
for
us
So
I
mean
what
I'm
hearing
from
you
is
influencer
marketing
is
huge
for
you
Your
app
maybe
wouldn't
be
where
it
is
if
you
didn't
focus
so
much
on
influencer
marketing
And
I
have
a
lot
of
questions
about
that
What
would
be
your
playbook
if
you
were
starting
over
today
What
would
be
your
step
by
step
process
to
find
and
land
influencers
so
that
your
app
can
generate
revenue
Yeah
so
I'll
break
it
down
in
a
few
steps
Step
one
if
you're
just
starting
out
DM
100
people
a
day
Step
two
the
first
words
of
your
DM
should
be
paid
promo
and
then
like
question
mark
or
paid
promo
for
your
company
etc
Influencers
get
hundreds
to
thousands
of
DMs
a
day
They
will
skip
your
DM
if
your
first
two
words
aren't
something
that's
captivating
to
them
So
what's
more
captivating
than
basically
I
will
pay
Step
three
when
starting
out
I
would
buy
your
personal
Instagram
account
with
followers
and
then
pay
to
verify
your
account
to
establish
more
credibility
Once
you
start
doing
a
few
influencers
deals
that's
when
I
would
switch
from
your
personal
account
to
your
business
account
because
then
people
will
recognize
your
business
account
more
Step
four
stop
wasting
your
time
DMing
with
them
I
think
this
is
one
of
the
most
important
parts
to
getting
a
profitable
deal
Negotiating
is
1000
times
easier
when
you're
on
the
phone
with
someone
and
they
can
feel
kind
of
your
presence
and
your
voice
So
once
they
respond
text
them
your
phone
number
and
just
say
hey
let's
hop
on
a
call
soon
Sometimes
they'll
call
you
literally
in
that
moment
Other
times
they'll
be
like
hey
when
are
you
available
Or
I'm
busy
today
If
they
say
I'm
busy
today
what's
your
offer
And
they're
trying
to
kind
of
hard
close
you
don't
fall
for
it
Just
say
okay
just
hit
me
up
when
you're
not
busy
They're
going
to
want
your
money
You're
paying
them
It's
not
the
other
way
around
Step
five
closing
the
deal
The
best
deals
you
can
make
are
20
to
50
upfront
for
four
to
five
videos
with
a
view
guarantee
that's
based
on
a
2
to
5
CPM
CPM
is
the
cost
per
1000
views
So
when
you
scroll
on
your
Instagram
and
you
see
that
they
average
let's
say
25
000
views
per
video
you're
going
to
make
them
an
offer
for
videos
for
225
bucks
Then
you're
going
to
tell
them
but
you
need
to
have
a
minimum
view
guarantee
of
100K
views
Now
if
you
don't
hit
that
guarantee
you
could
keep
posting
until
you
do
and
then
we'll
pay
you
the
rest
of
the
money
And
we
would
probably
pay
from
anywhere
from
50
bucks
to
100
bucks
upfront
I
would
hire
a
VA
There's
two
stages
I
would
hire
a
VA
When
you're
just
getting
started
And
then
when
you're
hyper
successful
So
people
like
CalAI
they
need
to
DM
because
the
founder
is
not
going
to
be
DMing
these
people
When
you're
just
getting
started
you
need
to
DM
so
many
people
to
get
your
foot
in
the
door
door
So
you
might
as
well
just
pay
the
cheap
amount
of
money
it
is
to
pay
someone
overseas
to
massively
DM
a
bunch
of
people
In
the
middle
kind
of
where
I
am
now
I
do
all
that
myself
because
once
your
brand
is
established
your
response
rate
is
going
to
shoot
up
So
now
that
our
brand
is
kind
of
known
I
DM
off
the
business
account
I
scroll
for
20
minutes
a
day
Our
40
pages
cater
to
the
wrestling
niche
Message
as
many
people
as
I
can
in
that
20
minutes
And
then
the
next
day
let's
say
I
would
hop
on
the
phone
with
all
of
them
and
close
the
deals
Okay
cool
Influencers
I
mean
that's
pretty
amazing
what
you've
done
And
that's
a
great
playbook
We
haven't
really
talked
much
about
the
app
that
you
built
What
I
think
is
super
cool
about
it
is
this
really
kind
of
niche
space
wrestling
I
don't
really
know
a
whole
lot
about
the
wrestling
world
So
I
thought
it'd
be
cool
if
you
could
just
show
us
your
app
how
it
works
and
maybe
how
the
business
model
is
Could
you
show
us
So
here's
our
gotcha
moment
This
is
the
most
important
part
of
the
app
It's
where
you
enter
the
video
of
your
wrestling
match
fill
out
a
little
bit
of
information
and
then
you
analyze
the
video
Then
I'll
scrape
the
video
for
the
two
wrestlers
in
the
video
You
have
to
pick
who
you
are
And
then
it'll
give
you
a
performance
breakdown
out
of
10
It'll
give
you
key
observations
stuff
you
did
well
your
strengths
your
areas
for
improvement
It'll
give
you
a
little
like
breakdown
of
your
strategy
and
it'll
give
you
drills
to
improve
your
actual
wrestling
that
you
can
add
to
your
training
program
in
the
app
So
after
that
we
have
a
calorie
tracker
We
just
revamped
this
thing
too
It
has
a
nutrition
database
It
has
a
barcode
scanner
It
has
like
that
CaliEye
type
feature
where
you
can
take
a
picture
of
your
food
and
it
estimates
the
calories
I
love
this
because
it
almost
has
the
exact
same
stuff
as
MyFitnessPal
and
it's
half
the
price
for
their
premium
Then
we
have
practice
mode
Here
it's
live
coaching
and
the
coach
basically
explains
how
to
do
each
move
It'll
give
you
like
a
little
tutorial
After
it'll
basically
ask
you
here's
how
to
do
the
move
and
you'll
take
a
video
of
you
doing
the
move
and
it'll
tell
you
what
you
did
right
and
what
you
did
wrong
You
also
have
your
training
programs
and
stuff
like
that
You
also
have
a
calendar
to
track
your
next
matches
You
have
a
weight
journal
The
whole
idea
behind
this
app
was
basically
creating
an
ecosystem
for
wrestling
All
right
cool
Thanks
for
showing
that
That's
super
cool
It
has
a
lot
of
cool
features
I
want
to
change
topics
a
little
bit
and
talk
about
TechStack
How
did
you
build
this
app
and
what
tools
do
you
use
on
a
day
to
day
basis
to
make
it
run
I
know
we
mentioned
this
before
but
by
far
the
number
one
tool
for
vibe
coding
apps
is
Rourke
Bolt
the
vibe
code
app
Repl
it
in
my
opinion
none
of
them
come
close
to
how
good
Rourke
is
and
I
launched
my
first
app
with
the
25
a
month
subscription
I
didn't
even
have
to
upgrade
to
their
more
premium
subscriptions
Superbase
is
really
easy
to
use
as
well
That's
what
I
use
for
my
back
end
and
it's
around
30
a
month
AI
inference
costs
We
use
OpenAI
It's
super
cheap
I'm
paying
40
to
60
a
month
ChachiBT
Premium
Now
I
don't
use
this
in
the
actual
tech
in
the
app
but
if
you're
not
paying
for
ChachiBT
Premium
you're
behind
I
think
it's
just
the
most
valuable
tool
for
20
a
month
It's
insane
All
right
Well
thanks
for
sharing
that
Last
question
that
we
ask
everyone
who
comes
on
Starter
Story
If
you
could
go
back
in
time
to
before
you
had
this
successful
app
maybe
after
you
kind
of
failed
a
few
times
when
you
were
a
little
bit
younger
what
would
be
your
advice
to
young
George
Or
for
anyone
watching
this
that
wants
to
build
apps
quickly
like
you
what
would
be
your
number
one
piece
of
advice
Don't
complain
about
having
too
much
on
your
plate
when
you
prayed
to
eat
Back
when
we
were
first
launching
Wrestle
ai
we
were
hyping
up
the
launch
We
had
about
3
000
pre
orders
maybe
4
000
The
app
goes
live
at
12
a
m
Right
before
this
at
around
11
30
the
API
we
were
using
for
the
AI
was
completely
down
So
I
freaked
out
because
our
app
entirely
relied
on
this
Not
only
is
it
broken
not
only
is
everyone
going
to
subscribe
and
refund
I
felt
just
so
defeated
in
that
moment
Probably
one
of
the
most
defeated
I've
ever
felt
I
was
up
the
entire
night
working
on
this
trying
to
figure
out
a
solution
The
API
gets
fixed
at
around
5
a
m
I
click
launch
I
go
to
sleep
I
wake
up
at
like
1
p
m
And
we're
number
19
on
the
App
Store
And
we've
made
over
a
thousand
bucks
We're
flooded
with
comments
on
our
Instagram
page
of
yo
this
app's
so
cool
blah
blah
blah
It
was
just
awesome
That
was
a
great
day
But
existence
is
a
pleasure
and
the
hard
part
is
the
fun
part
You
know
what
I
mean
That's
beautiful
Well
congrats
George
on
everything
you've
done
I
mean
doing
this
in
just
a
few
months
and
having
a
really
successful
app
that
hits
high
on
the
App
Store
chart
is
insane
So
thanks
for
coming
on
Thanks
for
sharing
all
that
Thanks
for
being
transparent
and
showing
all
your
numbers
I
think
this
is
going
to
inspire
a
lot
of
people
So
thanks
for
coming
on
Thank
you
for
having
me
I
feel
fired
up
after
listening
to
George
What
a
legend
man
But
yeah
that
was
a
really
awesome
interview
And
it
was
just
so
fun
to
hear
like
you
said
at
the
beginning
like
his
determination
to
build
this
thing
Yeah
You
know
there's
a
lot
of
doubters
online
I'm
sure
they're
going
to
be
in
the
comments
talking
about
how
this
is
impossible
or
he
has
some
sort
of
special
help
or
savings
or
whatever
But
when
I
see
someone
like
George
who
he's
18
years
old
he's
currently
in
college
he's
doing
this
in
his
dorm
room
What
more
proof
do
you
need
that
this
vibe
coding
thing
is
huge
This
is
absolutely
huge
And
I
hope
that
watching
stories
like
George
shows
you
that
anybody
can
do
this
right
As
you
said
determination
Like
it
wasn't
that
it
was
easy
Hopefully
nothing
in
this
video
talks
about
it
being
easy
But
as
he
kind
of
said
AI
is
the
ultimate
equalizer
right
Any
answer
you
need
you
can
get
from
AI
and
you
can
build
stuff
with
AI
I
don't
know
What
do
you
think
Yeah
My
big
takeaway
is
like
anything
is
possible
to
build
now
with
AI
whether
it's
Rourke
like
you
said
or
Cloud
Code
or
Cursor
or
whatever
whatever
tool
is
out
there
You
could
do
like
baseball
AI
or
like
pickleball
AI
or
you
know
whatever
insert
niche
thing
I've
shared
on
our
build
channel
like
my
mobile
app
building
process
And
so
I'm
like
maybe
I'll
check
out
Rourke
Maybe
I'll
check
out
something
else
It
kind
of
doesn't
matter
It's
just
like
like
I
said
it
gets
me
fired
up
to
like
go
build
some
stuff
Yeah
Yeah
Fires
me
up
too
If
you
are
also
fired
up
like
Gus
and
I
am
you
should
definitely
check
out
Starter
Story
Build
It
will
help
guide
you
through
the
process
of
finding
an
idea
building
it
launching
it
to
real
actual
customers
getting
feedback
and
building
Look
it's
not
going
to
be
easy
but
the
process
is
straightforward
with
a
little
bit
of
determination
I'll
put
a
link
in
the
description
to
our
next
iOS
bootcamp
which
specifically
if
you
want
to
launch
an
app

to
be
exactly
how
to
do
that
You're
going
to
do
it
alongside
other
people
We're
building
cool
stuff
That's
