In this informal vlog, Andres Gonzalez announces the launch of his app development agency amid the March 2020 market crash. He explains that the agency will help founders, entrepreneurs, and small businesses turn app ideas into market‑ready products by handling design, blueprinting, development coordination, testing, and launch guidance. Andres reviews the first two weeks of the venture, noting that a website, service offering, and contracts are already in place, and he shifts focus to daily operations—particularly the twin challenges of onboarding clients and delivering the service. He outlines a marketing plan inspired by Gary Vaynerchuk’s “jab‑jab‑right‑hook” approach: creating a high‑level summary of George Berkowsky’s How to Build a Billion Dollar App to post in Facebook groups and other social channels, ending with a call‑to‑action button for app cost estimates. The video intersperses casual banter among friends, coffee talk, and motivational remarks, framing the startup journey as a real‑time experiment during a recession.

What's up everybody?
Or like a little more from the chest, like you kind of like wet lips, like it's like a fight sound, like what's up everybody? Just like, yeah, what's up everybody?
So I noticed that I told you that I was starting a business, but I didn't tell you what business I was starting, so I'm gonna do that in today's video.
So I'm starting an app development agency. And what that means is I'm gonna be helping aspiring founders, entrepreneurs, and small businesses bring their app ideas to life. And the way that I'm gonna do that is I'm gonna be designing a lot of these apps, and I'm gonna be conceptualizing and creating a blueprint for, for what they're kind concept or what their app idea is. Then I'm going to be working with different people to develop the app, to do some testing to ensure that their idea is realized and is brought into market. I'm going to be guiding clients and people throughout that process.
It's Friday, March 13th. Stock market crashing.
Recession. And I just decided that I wanted to start my own business.
What a better time if I can make it during a recession.
What's up, buddy?
Ahh!
We will watch the journey of Andres becomes a 9-to-5er to an unemployed, self-established entrepreneur, right? Making 6 figures a month.
Take 2! It's a little, it's a little out there.
All right, today marks literally the second week of Andres's journey. This has been something he's wanted to do for a while. Uh, now we're a week and a half since Andres started. A few things have been knocked out. Website's done, service offering is somewhat put together, contracts are there. Um, now we're moving into some of the day-to-day operations and strategies to onboard customers, because the biggest hurdle in this space is onboarding customers. And then the second biggest is actually executing on the service once that customer is onboarded. And so today we're going to fine-tune the steps within the operation. Um, so stay in touch. We're documenting all of this for you guys, and let's get this going.
Nice.
Good to see you.
You're a natural, bro.
What's up? You're a natural, man. Wow.
Look at this rich.
Red Bull right there.
What is this?
Espresso.
Okay.
And then nitro.
Nitro.
Choose your weapon. I'll not finish though. Choose your weapon.
I'll halfway.
Choose your weapon.
And that's how we get down. You know, that's how it goes.
Come in here.
This is breakfast.
All right.
So right now I'm trying to develop some marketing material that will ideally get interested leads clients onto my site. And I'll be following Gary Vee's kind of jab, jab, jab, right hook kind of entire methodology, right? And the whole premise of this is that you deliver value to your target demographic, you know, multiple times consistently, and then you ask. And so the way that I'm going to do that is I'm going to do a high-level summary of this really interesting book called How to Build a Billion Dollar App by George Berkowsky. So essentially, when people read this article, they'll know what the book is about And at the end of the article, I have a little button that says, uh, develop your app today, or how much will your app cost? A little action button at the very end. I think what's also interesting about this piece of content is that when people think about building an app, they think about the cost. They sometimes need to remember that, you know, if you create something great, if you really solve a problem, you'll be able to make a lot of money. I'm gonna try to read the book, do a high-level summary, and then post on Facebook groups and, and to social media in hopes that I get gain some traction. So we'll see how that goes.
