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
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.

truly a unique feeling when you leave your chill hometown and come to a place like NYC.
There's an instant 20-25% healthy boost in "oh shit, I need to be doing more" because literally everyone around you is in motion, which indirectly motivates you to push on.

You’re addicted to the frequency of struggle.
There is nothing more addictive in this universe than a frequency that is consistently maintained.
Once a frequency stabilizes, it becomes addictive whether it’s entirely constructive or entirely destructive.
Most people in the world are addicted to struggling.
What your subconscious registers as what you “deserve” isn’t based on logic it’s based on what you’ve intensely and repeatedly felt.
If you’ve consistently lived in struggle while experiencing emotions like frustration, sadness, anger, and apathy, then that becomes your subconscious baseline for what you “deserve.”
In fact, you’re addicted to it so addicted that the idea of ease feels boring, unfamiliar, even unsafe.
You’re so addicted that you’ll delay your own success, unconsciously self-sabotaging just to keep getting your fix.
You’ve cast yourself as the underdog in your story so now, you believe you must go through hell to get to heaven.
And as a result, you’re materializing more difficulty, more obstacles, and more unnecessary challenges.
This same frequency plays out in every area opportunities, money, relationships.
Same pattern.
Same addiction.
