About this video

I traveled to Los Angeles to meet a guy who built a $30K/month golf app while he had a full-time job at a big tech company.

But now he's facing a big decision: should he stay at his full-time job and keep building on the side? Or is it finally time to go all-in on his business?

In this video, you will learn the incredible story behind how he built this successful business and by the end... you'll find out whether he stayed or quit!
