If your team dreads Mondays because reports still need to be manually updated… that’s a red flag 🚩
It might not seem like a big deal until you realize hours are lost each week chasing numbers, digging through spreadsheets, and repeating the same steps over and over.
Manual systems don’t just waste time, they create silent friction in your operations.
And the bigger problem? They rely on people remembering, not systems running.
If you want to build something that scales beyond you, start here:
🔁 Automate what repeats
🔻 Delegate what drains
🧠 Design for clarity, not control
You don’t need more dashboards, you need fewer decisions.

Your app is live, but it’s not done.
Here’s why..
Apps need regular updates to stay fast, useful, and user-friendly. If you leave things alone, problems can build up without you noticing like slow loading, broken steps, or users quietly leaving.
Without ongoing development:
🚨 Bugs pile up
🚨 Users get frustrated
🚨 Fixes become more expensive
🚨 You fall behind competitors
A continuous improvement of your app helps you stay ahead.
It gives you a steady, reliable way to:
✅ Fix bugs before they grow
✅ Improve the design and experience
✅ Add new features
✅ Keep your app running smoothly
Even if your team is small or non-technical, a subscription gives you the support you need - without hiring full-time staff or constantly managing freelancers.
In short:
Your app should keep getting better, not just stay online. A development subscription makes sure it grows, improves, and stays valuable to your users.

I talk a lot about building custom software...
But here’s the real question:
👉 Is it actually worth it?
If you’re about to drop $100K+ on building an app for your business, you need more than just a good idea.
You need math 🧠
In this new video, I break down:
➡️ 2 surprisingly simple ways to calculate ROI (including one most people skip)
➡️ What founders get wrong about revenue projections (and how to fix it)
➡️ How to reduce risk and make smarter investment decisions. Even if you’re not a numbers person.
If you’re a non-tech founder trying to decide whether to go all-in on your app idea, watch this first. It might save you from a very expensive lesson.

You don’t need to reinvent the wheel.
Just steal a better one.
This week I dropped something a little unhinged.
28 SaaS ideas you can actually build in 2025.
Yes, I dumped all of them into one video.
These aren’t vague “Uber for X” concepts. They’re real, revenue-ready ideas pulled straight from the front page of the Internet.
Some solve weirdly specific problems.
Some tap into fast-growing trends.
And some? Could become serious $$$ if done right.
I break each one down by:
👉 What it solves
👉 Who it's for
👉 How hard it is to build (from “weekend project” to “requires blood sacrifices”)
If you’re a business owner stuck between $5–10M and looking for ways to scale or a founder-in-the-making hunting for your next play, this might just be your blueprint.

Don’t scale your app until you hear this.
Most founders overthink scalability way too early and I get why.
No one wants to build an app that breaks the moment people actually use it.
But chasing too much scalability too soon? That’s how you waste serious time and money.
Forget the tech speak. This video explains everything you need to know about app scalability in plain business terms, all in under 10 minutes.
Whether you’re planning to build or already scaling fast, this’ll help you make smarter decisions without wasting money on features you don’t need.
You’ll learn:
➡️ How apps are actually scaled and why not all methods are created equal
➡️ Why every app has a scalability limit (and what that really means for your business)
➡️ The pros and cons of building for scale too early
➡️ How to strike the right balance: scalable enough to grow, lean enough to launch
💡 This is the stuff most developers won’t explain, but should.

Bubble’s been the gold standard in no-code web apps... but what if there’s something faster, cheaper, and built for the AI era?
I tested Momen, a lesser-known no-code platform, and let’s just say... I was skeptical but after building with it, here’s what stood out:
💥 Integrated AI Agents (build smart features without connecting 10 different tools)
💥 Handles 5,000 rows/second vs Bubble’s 100 (hello, performance)
💥 Smarter pricing for scaling apps (won’t bankrupt you at enterprise scale)
Bubble still has the bigger community, sure. But if you're building an AI-powered web app that needs serious horsepower, Momen’s worth a look.
I break it all down in my latest video.
