This podcast interviews 17-year-old Zach Yadegari, who built a successful calorie-counting app, CalAi, generating over $1 million monthly revenue. The interview covers his entrepreneurial journey, starting with a school-games website sold for $100,000 at age 16, and his current app's innovative influencer marketing strategy (using a $2-$5 CPM, focusing on seamless integration, and leveraging short-form video). Yadegari details his app's pricing model ($30/year or $10/month), 50% profit margin, and plans to expand into an app studio. He emphasizes the importance of inherent virality in app design and the power of scrappy, high-volume influencer outreach. The interview concludes with reflections on his rapid success, future ambitions, and advice for aspiring entrepreneurs.
