Background noise of birds, camera quality, and the knowledge are just top-notch. This channel deserves more love!

Going to preface this with, I really enjoyed the interviewer and the atmosphere. Very well done. As an actual startup developer his claims are hilarious. He obviously had a lot of help that he didn't mention, and lied about marketing costs. 100$ of marketing for 80k monthly revenue is just a lie. While his ideas are very good, I don't understand why he has to lie so much about his marketing costs and technical skill. My money is on the fact that he forked out a lot of equity to people that actually had skills, and now his last hope is to get rich quick being an influencer himself. Yikes. Additionally, you don't just 100% GPT a whole app. How are users created? How are subscription vs non-subscription users authenticated? How are errors handled when it comes to user authentication? Where / how do you manage your server? This part especially had my bullshit-meter on the tops. If anyone wants to convince me otherwise I am open to a productive conversation.

Hey brother, I understand why you would question some of my story - I agree that it would appear highly unlikely that I am telling the truth, but I can assure you that I am. The two $50 promos -> 80k mrr is 100% fact, I'd link the videos but not worth my time to find them. Anyways, if people continue to question this, I'll make them public somewhere in the future. My cofounders and I bootstrapped the first app. I was the largest shareholder. Both of them are nontechnical - I built the whole thing. "Last hope is to get rich quick being an influencer" - my apps have generated over $2m total profit to date. RizzGPT (Plug AI now) - No user table or auth, backend was a simple python script hosted by Heroku, subscription auth handled by superwall. Umax - first version also had no auth, but then after we hit 100k mrr I hired a CTO who rebuilt in React Native. I had some help on the backend this time around from a friend + my brother but I did the majority of backend and all of frontend. Cal AI - I did not build. This one was actually built well from the start. I think you could have phrased this criticism better. You stated your claims as fact, but they are false. Speak to anybody that has met me and they will tell you that I am certainly not a grifter or scammer.
