When I first became a dad I was genuinely worried my career would suffer. The opposite happened. 3 things changed that I wasn't expecting. First, a child cuts the filler from your life instantly. I used to sit at my desk for 14 hours and feel like I was crushing it when in reality maybe 4 of those hours were actual work and the rest was meetings that didn't need to happen, scroll sessions I told myself were research, and "quick calls" that turned into 90 minutes of nothing. A child deletes all of that overnight. Because you literally don't have the time anymore. Every hour matters in a way it didn't before. You could be with your kid, working on your startup, exercising, having dinner with your wife, sleeping. When your time is actually full of things you care about, the filler can't survive. I'm shipping more now than before my kid was born. Half the meetings. Faster decisions. I stopped saying yes to things out of politeness because my time has a very real cost now that I can feel in my bones. Second, your risk tolerance goes up, not down. Everyone assumes having a kid makes you play it safe. For me it created this urgency to build something real while my kid is young enough to not remember the hard parts. That urgency is more useful than any productivity system I've ever tried. Third, your thinking just gets clearer. I don't know how else to explain it. You stop deliberating for days and just make the call. You stop chasing every opportunity and only chase the ones that actually excite you. Something about being responsible for another human being gives you this filter that cuts through the noise instantly. Before my kid, I'd go back and forth on a decision for a week. Now I make it by lunch and move on. I used to think having a kid was the thing I'd do after I built the company. Turns out the kid made me better at building the company. Wish someone had told me that sooner. So I'm telling you. I know this sounds like something a new dad says to justify it. I thought the same thing when other dads told me. Then it happened to me and I understood. I think you will too.

I make a living building Lovable apps. Over the past year, I’ve helped people build and launch Lovable apps across industries like F1, music, tennis, and more. Here’s my story ↓ Over a year ago, my agency (Creme Digital) became the first Lovable Gold Partner. Since then, we’ve helped clients build and ship 200+ apps. As I traveled the world, I started helping athletes, artists, and creators prototype and launch ideas. I documented everything and started sharing their stories. Instead of gatekeeping the process, I started sharing my exact build systems and design strategies. Now people use my resources to build apps everyday! Being able to rapidly ideate and launch agency-grade apps has opened doors I never expected. Today, I work with teams, creators, and brands across sports, content, and tech, helping turn ideas into real products. My biggest realization? Building software is no longer reserved for engineers. Sometimes all it takes is the right idea, the right workflow, and a tool like Lovable. Go and build something today!

Most people think being wealthy is having a fancy car, expensive watch, or a big home. It's really about having the ability to have coffee with your wife, gym in the afternoon, lunch with friends, and being able to see your family for dinner.

I don’t think most people actually want to choose between AI models. Every week there’s new consensus on what’s best, but most people just want great results, and they don’t care which model powers that. At Lovable, we spend a lot of time evaluating models internally so our users don’t have to. The goal is simple: automatically use the best model for the task so people can stay focused on building their business. Don't underestimate how important it is to remove mental load for your customers at every step of the way.

1. Start with a problem you personally hate as a frustrated customer. Not a market report. Not a spreadsheet. A genuine problem you experience yourself. The frustration is the fuel. Without it you will quit before the compounding kicks in. 2. Validate that the market is big enough before you build anything. The US children's vitamin market was $900M when we started. Know your ceiling before you commit. 3. Find a co-founder with complementary skills and proven chemistry. Similar values. Different skill sets. And ideally someone you've already built something with. Darren and I had 7 years of proof before Hiya. 4. Spend at least 12 months on product development before launch. Most founders spend 4-6 weeks. We spent over a year. Assemble experts — pediatricians, nutritionists, scientists, whatever your category requires. 5. Solve for both your consumer and your customer simultaneously. At Hiya the child consumed the product but the parent paid for it. Build for both. Most competitors only solve for one. 6. Target 80% gross margins from day one. If your product can't get to 80% gross margins the unit economics will never support profitable growth. Fix the math before you fall in love with the product. 7. Factor in shipping and fulfillment when calculating your margins. Most beginners forget this entirely. A product that costs $10 to make but $8 to ship has almost no margin left before you spend a dollar on marketing. 8. Go 100% subscription from day one if it makes genuine sense for your product. Subscription only works when it is genuinely convenient for the customer AND good for the business. Both conditions must be simultaneously true. 9. Go 100% direct to consumer first. No Amazon. No retail early on. Own the customer relationship completely. The data, the feedback loop, the ability to communicate directly — this enables everything else. 10. Price at a premium from launch. Price is a signal of quality. Cheap signals cheap. We priced above every competitor in the category from day one and never changed our price in 5+ years. 11. Offer a compelling first month discount to acquire subscribers. We offered 50% off month one from launch and tested every possible variation over 5 years. That offer always performed best. Month one is an investment. Months 2 through 24 are the return. 12. Run influencer cohorts of 25-50 at a time. Expect only 10% to convert. Kill the losers fast. Double down on the winners immediately. Never run 5 influencers and conclude the channel doesn't work. 5 is not a real test. 13. Whitelist your winning influencer content as paid ads. At any given time 20-40% of our paid budget ran behind influencer-sourced creative through whitelisting. The creative is already audience-validated. The unit economics outperform brand-owned creative every single time. 14. Text every new customer personally within 24 hours. Not a bot. Not an automated sequence. A real human. This one decision shaped our entire retention curve across 200,000+ subscribers. 15. Let customers customize wherever possible. Parents could text us their exact flavor preferences and we'd ship custom ratios. Raised costs slightly. Created a competitive moat billion dollar companies could never replicate. 16. Iterate relentlessly on your core product. We launched one multivitamin in March 2020. We were on the 8th iteration of that same product by exit. Never stop improving what is already working. 17. Don't launch product two until product one is undeniable. We waited 2.5 years before launching our second product. Go deep before you go wide. Launching product two to escape the problems of product one almost always fails. 18. Survey customers before building any new product. Every new product we launched was validated by customer surveys before we spent $1 on development. We knew it wouldn't fail before we made it. 19. Hire a CFO before you think you need one. When you're bootstrapped and growing fast the CFO is a growth hire not a back office hire. They tell you exactly how much fuel you have in the tank which determines how hard you can press the accelerator. 20. Plan for the cash flow paradox before it hits you. 50% off month one plus fast growth equals cash negative even when the business is fundamentally profitable. The faster we grew the more cash negative we became. Find debt financing partners before you desperately need them. 21. Raise $0 from venture capital if you possibly can. Every dollar of outside capital is pressure, dilution, and a board you didn't need. We raised nothing and kept virtually all the equity going into a $260M exit. 22. Make decisions fast. Speed of decision making beats quality of decision making within reason. The cost of a wrong decision is almost always recoverable. The cost of waiting two weeks compounds across every department. 23. Sell from strength not desperation. When we began exploring acquisition we were already highly profitable. $19M net income on $103M revenue. We did not need to sell. That single fact changed every conversation we had with potential acquirers. 24. Stay alive long enough for time to work for you. The first 6 months of Hiya almost nothing worked. Month 7 we found our stride. By year 4 we were the #1 children's wellness brand in America. Compounding only works with patience. You can only show up every single day. Comment "X" if you'd like the full playbook.
