Episode notes
From No-Code Startup To Viral Personal Brand
- Alex built Closify at 20 using Stacker and Airtable, scaled to $100k/month, and sold it for seven figures.
- He later posted one short-form clip that reached ~1M views and gained 20k followers, fueling his no-code brand.

- Mobile apps today are like dropshipping in 2016: fast to build, test, and iterate.
- Ship a single core feature quickly and treat the process as repeatable experimentation.
