You can build a $1M/month business.
You can become worth $10M.
You can travel anywhere, buy beautiful things, and experience extraordinary opportunities.
But you still have a finite amount of time to experience all of it.
Apple banned me on May 14, 2026.
I was doing $500K+ ARR.
At the time, I thought it was the worst thing that could happen to my business.
I had to start over. New platform. New funnel. New marketing strategy.
147 days later:
$102K MRR. $1.2M+ ARR.
Solo founder. Fully bootstrapped.
All on Stripe.
Turns out getting banned was the best thing that ever happened to my business.
Oh, and Stripe's ~2.9% fee beats Apple's 30%.
Thanks, Apple.
Ask me anything in the replies. I'll answer your questions.
P.S. I'm looking to sell the business. I genuinely believe it can reach $1M/month, but I'm ready for my next chapter.
DMs are open for serious buyers.
Was sitting right beside Tyler in his car when this Apple ban moment happened.
It didn’t phase him at all/the way it would’ve messed with me.
Before you know it this guy was back on his feet and in an even better spot. Fall forward.
LFG
@ParentMaxxing Genuine question, why do people say bud? Never understood it. Maybe it's region slang, but to me - and a lot of people - it comes off as some sort of power play.

I did have a referral program but I measured my ROI and it was negative and it got abused one day so I removed it completely.
