@@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
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!
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
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.
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. 🚀
Low-key, doing newsletter sign-ups seems to be the only way to make money with a free website offer from RUclipsrs. As a first-time viewer, when I see that on any startup or finance side of RUclips, 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.
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. March 27, 1996 to April 15, 2024 10,246 days 245,904 hours 14,754,240 minutes 1,180,339,200 heart beats (at approximately 80 per minute) My heart didn't give up on me. Why should I give up on the dream?
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?
"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 ✨
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.
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.
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?
I want to start seeing entrepreneurs who have zero coding experience AND zero marketing experience AND don’t know a thing about manufacturing. It seems like they always have experience in one of these.
It's like you want a fighter without any fight skills. If you want to start s SaaS company, you better learn how to code OR learn how to use a no-code tools. Marketing, yes, you'll probably have to learn how to do it as well, otherwise, how will people get to know your product?
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 love his story. But this is something 90% of people cant do. He needed to have lots of funds to do this. You can tell he was lucky although there is work he had to put in. Just my personal view
"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"
Everyone knows the Mustache is the reason he became successful.
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.

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's so down to earth and nice! These kinds of people deserve success the most :)
Again love your format man, its useful and inspiring at the same time.
"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...

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 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.

This is so motivating! I can't wait to incorporate some of these strategies into my own app development journey. Brilliant work!

Starter story the way you making content is just world class
I love how sincere and deep he goes to tell his story in tech
What an example of stepping outside of your comfort zone and meeting new people who challenge your notion of thinking and open new doors.

Someone's got a new editor or editing on this one is 🔥
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!
Marketing, marketing, marketing. Buttons that stand out.....
Who came after reading $1M 😂
Everyone
Everyone
literally everyone dude. Kinda logic no?
Love it! This channel is legendary ❤🔥
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 "
I'm glad he tapped into what is meaningful in life.
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?

are you sure he dated Katie?
Been living in Bali for over 4 years now...
What he says at 11:50 is so true!
“i had a liquidity event and took my exit…” wait … wait … back up….
No one might probably know the true intelligence that a developer carries with him/herself its just unmatched
Guy grinded his main and now just roaming around doing side quests
The product doesn't seem to work anymore unfortunately :(
Some bros take their exit and buy a Lambo, the fact he bought a Sprinter made him even cooler.
The person who edited this video is an amazing editor
The video is amazing and storytelling is amazing too
keep up the great work my man
Man, what a lovable guy
Awesome video! Super inspiring and definitely motivated me as a developer. p.s what a handsome dude at 2:59
Haha!
The Solo Journey can be tough!
Dawson is my spirit animal
He was a computer scientist, takes a lot longer than 5 hours to acquire his skills.
took him 15 of his years. :D
I know Pat is technical himself so it must’ve been cool talking tech stacks with Dawson
That excitement on his face at 10:10
This sounds amazing to people who are not experts.
Glad you asked him what coding tools and languages he used, now I know.
The George Michael of computer programming.
1. Build it
2. Go viral
3. ???
4. Money
thanks so much

Witnessing a scam artist…
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
@@xgtwb6473"to him who has ears to hear..."
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.
Ideation, marketing, monetization. Mmmh… something is missing. Right, implementation. The hardest part.
I am glad he found his purpose but how much did he lose out on by leaving Uber?
Great content keep up the good work brothers
Dawson's story is inspirational and motivational for sure!! 🔥
wow i learned so much! thank you for this inform! I need to be more open minded. Dawson Botsford is pretty awesome.
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?!
Looks like a clickbait video
Yea bro , Crypto thing is not for normal lifestyle peoples its for isolated ones
@@LearningOfOld we know whos that barking dog in russian say
bro is living a dream life
As a software developer & Engineer with 10 Years Experience . Making an App in 5 Hours, I believed you already Bro 😆
Am I the only one doubting the 5 hours? With or without boilerplate?
Yes, interesting. Thank you for the motivation and learning.
What a brave guy! Bravo!
Amazing content, how much is the subscription to the 4000 case studies?
thats actually inspirational, thanks
immediately subscribed. great channel!
I built nothing but big belly in just no time.
Legend has it that he didn't write the code... The code wrote him.
Great story! Subscribing 🙂
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.

Very Interesting what are you using to host and is it autoscaling well for these numbers.
What we see "5 hours"
What we didn't see: "15 years of coding"
Overnight success takes years.
He's certainly not your average Joe.
This is so inspiring, thanks!
I want to start seeing entrepreneurs who have zero coding experience AND zero marketing experience AND don’t know a thing about manufacturing. It seems like they always have experience in one of these.
they exist, but they failed thats why no mentions
if you have no skills you not going to get far in business, take the time to learn and acquire skills so you can be successful
I want to see people in the NFL with zero skills, make sense?
That is the point, you have to have a skill otherwise your success rate is near zero it might happen but it is very very rare.
It's like you want a fighter without any fight skills.
If you want to start s SaaS company, you better learn how to code OR learn how to use a no-code tools.
Marketing, yes, you'll probably have to learn how to do it as well, otherwise, how will people get to know your product?
Great story and advice!
The link isn't working. I can't access the downloadable guide, it says "This site can't be reach."

Thank you.
Crazy man love this channel so much❤🔥❤🔥
Hey mate are you also in coding? Actually I am finding person's to start something out?
No link to his Ethereum site?
I love his story. But this is something 90% of people cant do. He needed to have lots of funds to do this. You can tell he was lucky although there is work he had to put in. Just my personal view
i cant even do my laundry bro
I built a 1M app in 5 hours while sleeping !
What sort of quality software is being built in 5hours
hey, by any chance do you require a video editor ?
They deleted last video?
i thought ill find this on netflix.
I found the introduction to be a tad bit too slow, but the vid was awesome! Great job Pat.
you have removed the video which u publish after this video...we want that
