In this episode, I break down a simple but powerful morning routine app that's making nearly $1M a year, without running paid ads, and share my own morning routine!

You'll learn:

✅ How Routinery ranks #1 for “morning routine”

✅ What’s working in its onboarding & paywall strategy

✅ Monetization tactics that drive conversions fast

✅ The one growth strategy that most devs ignore

✅ My personal morning routine & productivity boost formula
