We launched a podcast. Here’s why.
@joinladder has 600,000 members asking their coaches questions every day.
Protein alone: 30,000 times this year.
Nobody else gets that window into what people working on their health are stuck on.
So we built a show around those questions: Strength Required.
I host. A Ladder coach brings the member questions. The guest answers. The coach pushes back.
Ep 1: @drgabriellelyon on why you lose muscle as you age, how much protein you actually need, and what the shot does to it — with Coach Lauren Kanski
New episode every Tuesday. 🎙️
1 week with the iPhone Duo:
This thing is spectacular and I love it more every day.
One place that blows me away is at the gym using a fitness app - Ladder. 🤯
Yes, 99.9% of Duo apps look like trash now but what did you expect?
Most companies won’t redesign for a new device until it has millions of users, so the first year is always a little messy.
So, startup idea for you coming from someone who has sold tens of millions of dollars of agency services: a Duo app agency.
Think about who’s buying this thing! Someone paying $2000+ for a phone the week it comes out is about as valuable a customer as you’ll find on the App Store.
They pay for apps, they pay for subscriptions, and they leave reviews. Most companies want those people badly, and most don’t have a spare team to redesign their app for a brand new screen. Hence, why the Duo apps look mostly trash now.
How to start a duo app agency:
Pick the categories where the bigger screen matters, like recipes, reading, trading, design and music. Record a short video of their app looking cramped on the Duo next to an AI mockup of what it could look like. Charge $40k to $75k to ship the redesign in a few weeks, and a monthly retainer to keep it right as Apple updates things.
One of the most obvious startup ideas out there right now. I’d start this today.
Sometimes the best startup ideas are the most obvious!
Any pm's/designers/eng who have these qualities laid out by @pedroh96 and co-signed by @petergyang let's talk.
@joinladder is on a heater w small team and need some more ai pilled owners w agency, product + design "taste" and a desire to win.

I love the Ladder app. It’s never been so easy for me to consistently get into the gym! Also love the widget, makes me want to get my workouts in even if I’m exhausted and go a little lighter. This was my workout streak last month 🥹
