Absolutely inspiring to see Dawson's journey from 9-5 to a $1M app. For entrepreneurs looking to emulate his success, remember the importance of validating your app idea with potential users before diving into development; it can save you months of work and significantly increase your chances of success. Focus on solving a real problem and the revenue will follow.
But it only took him 5 hours to code. Moral of the story isn't "get rich in 5 hours". The moral of the story is with the proper tools, anyone can build a high profit startup. Spend a few months learning to code, then spend time building something to solve a problem you can moentize.
It still took him 5 hours to code, someone with no knowledge can just hop dedicate a day to building their idea on ChatGPT and with some basic comprehension you can do it also
Why is everyone pointing out the obvious? 😂 Ofc, a person who has no coding experience or any skill whatsoever can make an app in 5 hours then end up making 1M. Take this story as an inspiration. You don’t know how to code? Then start learning! Don’t know anything about opening a business? Then go learn! Don’t know what problem to solve? Go look for problems. I am 2.8yrs in my career as a software engineer and I have finally found a problem to solve 🙏🏽 perhaps, I will one day be in one of these videos 🤘🏽 Great work Pat!
I love the enthusiasm but no hate or trying to bring people down.95% of people no matter how talented they are cannot make 1 mil developing an app in 5 hours or few weeks or months. There is a reason on why most people stick with their corporate jobs which has better prospects of making you a decent living wage.

Dawson's journey from building a million-dollar app in just a day to traveling the world and finding inspiration in Australia is truly remarkable! His innovative approach and perseverance are an inspiration to aspiring entrepreneurs. 🚀
This is so inspiring. Especially as an entry level developer looking to get into the industry. Dawson's story makes me almost want to just pursue projects I'm interested in and seeking a more meaningful source of income versus grinding leetcode.
You can do both! Make sure you're pursuing projects on the side to keep that spark. If you ignore the drive to pursue the fun things that drive can die over time.
This might not have been the take away this video wanted; but not being content with corporate life because of inefficiencies and not making something for actual users and then starting for yourself, is actually a valid path to take.
Low-key, doing newsletter sign-ups seems to be the only way to make money with a free website offer from TH-camrs. As a first-time viewer, when I see that on any startup or finance side of TH-cam, it makes me rethink their advice. However, your channel is more like short podcasts or stories, so all the advice has been good. Even if it wasn’t, you’re just sharing the person’s story. I didn’t hesitate to let you use my email for your newsletter. Just wanted to say I hope you keep up the good work!
Cold DM or email people a few steps ahead of you, go to meetups or hackathons, create some content online, talk to somebody in the coffee shop, travel to a new place, talk to someone in another department at work.
Dude obviously you won't expect to build a $1m dollar app in 5 hours if you didn't have any really good programming experience, use your brain it's common sense.
You always don't explain how businesses work. How does he find companies which offer airdrops? Airdrops are usually raffles. Only several people will receive money, right?
I started something on March 27, 1996 and finished April 15, 2024. I never gave up. NEVER!!! I ate popcorn for dinner and slept in places I can not explain. Today, I am............guess the rest.

Why should I give up on the dream?
Huge fan of you, and great interview. Just wondered that how much the earnifi was acquired by bankless, do you know that ? I wondered so much the valuation.
"Anti-email strategy" C'mon just say I didn't spam users with unwarranted emails. Conversion rate was through the roof not because of "Anti-email strategy" its because it involves people recovering their money. Regardless, good job on the app.
For a lot of years, I was not so fan about Dawson as an actor, I think I was a bit jaleous because he dates a girl that I like Katie Holmes. But I’m very fan about Dawson as on entrepreneur, he changes his hair color for blond to blanck, cut it, which is a good idea, and make very inspiring project. I never though I will said that before but YOU ROCK DAWSON ✨
loved the story; but I'm confused on why COLLECTING FINANCIAL AIDS FOR NON-PROFITS VIA ETHEREUM would be a big thing in the first place? with normal technologies (not blockchain) is it too hard to do the transactions for non-profit organization? Can someone explain what am I missing out on?

how come he makes that much and lives in a van, may be it's better less noise, like makde a ios game I still try to figure out how to get ads in it, when I started I thoat apple was puting the ads now I realised I still need google or unity, I even have to integrate the code in app before releasing on appstore, like I also need to figure out taxes, you also need to pay apple 99$/year I'm even wondering if this will make me profit
Hi, I'm actively looking for a community. I'm not good at thinking ideas and always have thought about myself. Hope to find a community that are welcome for beginner developer.
Are you guys posting metrics for the 1 million dollars? Id like to see the metrics on the money you guys generated in 6 months for this specific app. Thank you.

"Built in 5 hours".... has been coding for 15+ years. Every overnight success takes years. Love the content! :)
There is always a hidden story .
did you honestly think a person with no ability to code can create an app in a day?
Exactly!
To build that in 5 hours
He had to spend hours in refining that "building in 5 hr" skill
@@nasiffuad292 I think he probably built the website and front end if 5 hrs lol.
Only after building the app in his head for a year, did he write it in 5 hours. Overnight success takes time.
A huge W for procrastinators around the world.
@@starterstory its not procrastinating when it isnt ready, its procrastinating when it was ready but you waited 1 year to start writing and completing it
If success in any form was easy everyone would have it.
@@starterstory you got it all wrong. Keyword is "smart-thinkers"
Great channel: you find interesting stories, tell them well, ask good questions, and let your guests answer them. Excellent work Pat.

Knew the problem
waited a few weeks to let ideas bounce around
then built the solution at the last second.
A huge W for procrastinators.
Everyone knows the Mustache is the reason he became successful.
Again love your format man, its useful and inspiring at the same time.

This is the result of many years of experience in the field of programming,not a few hours or not in one or two years
"He built a 1M$ app in 5 hours!"
"I was always obsessed with math and science since school" 🤣🤣🤣
Lets not forget the i learned programming in middle f*cking school, bro had everything he needed to know in the bag
idk what you expected, it did take him 5 hours...

@@cazorla82 Obviously, 95% of businesses fail, it doesn't hurt to try though, because at least you tried and put in the effort
Stopped at crypto 0:17
😂
I almost did too, but it turns out the crypto part of it isn't overly relevant to the story. You could take any other idea/sector and apply that.
This is so motivating! I can't wait to incorporate some of these strategies into my own app development journey. Brilliant work!
He's so down to earth and nice! These kinds of people deserve success the most :)

What an example of stepping outside of your comfort zone and meeting new people who challenge your notion of thinking and open new doors.
Cold DM or email people a few steps ahead of you, go to meetups or hackathons, create some content online, talk to somebody in the coffee shop, travel to a new place, talk to someone in another department at work.
Someone's got a new editor or editing on this one is 🔥
Awesome video! Super inspiring and definitely motivated me as a developer. p.s what a handsome dude at 2:59
Haha!
keep up the great work my man
I'm getting really tired of these clickbait titles. He has decades of experience. That's not 5 hours.
Facts, these titles make it sound like there overal success was over night
For you its clickbait, for us senior Devs it's not lol

Very insightful interview. Well done
You always don't explain how businesses work. How does he find companies which offer airdrops? Airdrops are usually raffles. Only several people will receive money, right?
The product doesn't seem to work anymore unfortunately :(
I am glad he found his purpose but how much did he lose out on by leaving Uber?

That's really cool. I didn't even know about airdrops. Looks like a really solid bussines he built.
Airdrops are awesome. You might qualify for a few and never even know. Ive claimed a few thousand using similar products!
The link isn't working. I can't access the downloadable guide, it says "This site can't be reach."
Huge fan of you, and great interview. Just wondered that how much the earnifi was acquired by bankless, do you know that ? I wondered so much the valuation.
That excitement on his face at 10:10
Thank For Sharing 🙌🙌
Marketing, marketing, marketing. Buttons that stand out.....
wow i learned so much! thank you for this inform! I need to be more open minded. Dawson Botsford is pretty awesome.
I'm going to be the 100 person to say this: " The best things that you code are the ones where you think a lot before even touching the keyboard "
"Anti-email strategy" C'mon just say I didn't spam users with unwarranted emails. Conversion rate was through the roof not because of "Anti-email strategy" its because it involves people recovering their money.
Regardless, good job on the app.
I'm glad he tapped into what is meaningful in life.
A highly quality charges $10k per song not because it takes them 10 hours, but the three decades he spent mastering his craft.
Very Interesting what are you using to host and is it autoscaling well for these numbers.
Great story! Subscribing 🙂
The Solo Journey can be tough!
Yes, interesting. Thank you for the motivation and learning.

The video is amazing and storytelling is amazing too
“i had a liquidity event and took my exit…” wait … wait … back up….
Some bros take their exit and buy a Lambo, the fact he bought a Sprinter made him even cooler.
I signup but i never received those solo dev report. Can you help ?
Great story and advice!
He was a computer scientist, takes a lot longer than 5 hours to acquire his skills.
took him 15 of his years. :D
Dawson is my spirit animal
Who came after reading $1M 😂
Everyone

literally everyone dude. Kinda logic no?
I also a ui ux designer and android app developer but still struggling to get work
Whats the laptop he's using, i'm not familiar with apple products
Looks like a MacBook Pro that has Apple Silicon
hey, by any chance do you require a video editor ?

Is it possible to create app with ai and also have zero knowledge about coding?
It's advisable to get someone on your side that's good at coding to provide you some guidance, but aided with AI and the Internet you can definitely make a start!
@@sachsuccess okay bro thanks
No. You can use nocode tools, but they have a steep learning curve. Using AI will create an app that is buggy and unmaintainable
I know Pat is technical himself so it must’ve been cool talking tech stacks with Dawson

This sounds amazing to people who are not experts.

No link to his Ethereum site?
Are you guys posting metrics for the 1 million dollars? Id like to see the metrics on the money you guys generated in 6 months for this specific app.
Thank you.
I curently have $8k in airdrops. Liquidated 4k and about to stake the rest, And I didn't even know about it haha
after having built 1M app he still lives in the van?!
What sort of quality software is being built in 5hours
...good editing...smart
Glad you asked him what coding tools and languages he used, now I know.

Thank you for the story
cool well grounded guy! good for him
What is the minimum that people would believe? 1 hour? 10 mins?
you have removed the video which u publish after this video...we want that
They deleted last video?
Legend has it that he didn't write the code... The code wrote him.
Cool guy. Very authentic!
I found the introduction to be a tad bit too slow, but the vid was awesome! Great job Pat.
