    This week I was honored to interview New York Times Bestselling author, Tim Ferriss. As many of you know, Tim’s first book, The 4-Hour Work Week, changed my life when I read it recovering in the hospital. And more recently the strategies and tips I’ve applied from The 4-Hour Body have helped in my body’s recovery to this day. His advice and expertise is unparallelled for us entrepreneurs. And now, Tim has come out with his best book yet: The 4-Hour Chef! Don’t be fooled by the title, this book isn’t just about cooking, it’s about how to master any skill. What I love most about this book is how closely these techniques apply to our app businesses. The app world is one of the most rapidly changing industries of our time, and “rapid skill acquisition” (as Tim calls it) is one of the most important tools you can learn so you can adapt quickly and acquire expert knowledge you’ve...

    Back in April, I had the privilege of being featured on Tim Ferriss’ 4HWW blog. We received a ton of positive emails about that post and I was honored to hear so many stories from people who’d made the leap to become “appreneurs.” Some of you may remember that we attached a contest to the post, where readers who submitted their app ideas were eligible to win $5,000 USD for development expenses, along with extensive mentoring from myself and the App Empire team. The winner of the contest — out of 600+ submissions — was Alex Kourkoulas with his “meme” photo app concept: Memer. After a couple months of hard work, Alex has successfully released Memer into the App Store. It was a pleasure working with him, and we’re excited to see what he does next! In this post, Alex opens up about his lessons learned during the making of his first app… Enter Alex I am a self-confessed geek....
