Zen Business - Mindfulness, Hustle and Fulfillment
89) Shawn Lynch, The App Growth Blueprint They Don’t Teach in Silicon Valley
21 Jan 2025
In this episode of the Zen Business Podcast, you’ll hear conversation from the Success Formula Podcast where Jonathan Maxim breaks down the most common mistakes app founders make—and the exact playbook for hitting 10,000 downloads without wasting marketing dollars. They talk about how Jonathan’s early missteps as an app founder fueled his decision to help others avoid the same costly mistakes, and why monetizing from Day 1 is often the missing puzzle piece. You’ll also hear about the power of relentless testing, how Kevin Hart’s team nearly signed a game-changing deal for Jonathan’s fitness app, and what it really takes to guarantee 10,000 downloads. They’ll explore the mindset behind turning near-failures into growth, and why real, paying customers will always beat vanity metrics in today’s startup world. You don't want to miss this one!
