So today I brought Dom onto the channel to break down his five-step process for building, scaling and selling an app, how he shipped a new project every month while working a full-time job and his method to get users without writing a single line of code. If you're looking to build on the side, this one is a must watch. Let's get into it. I'm Pat Walls and this is Starter Story.
