Great narrative, stellar narration, super useful

For someone who has no idea how to even begin to build a digital product, this book is indispensable. It breaks down the steps, the language and the thought process that goes into building digital stuff. For a how-to, it's actually very entertaining, and the narrator's easy going, upbeat speaking style kept me engaged the whole time I was listening. I walked away with a solid idea of how to build a digital product from scratch, and look forward to going back and listening to specific sections when I'm ready to sit down and get to work.

Great "how to" on how to get things done

I was skeptical about whether it would be easy to follow a “how to” in audible format, but the combination of straightforward writing and the clear, upbeat narrator won me over. It’s a great combination of interesting narrative and advice you can actually apply while you’re building.

Unbelievable insight into business and app development!

Initially I thought this would would only give an in depth look at building an app, but it’s WAY more than that. I gained an enormous amount of insight into how successful business are run and developed. This audiobook kept my attention through the entire book. I’ve also read the book and it’s got tons of illustrations that really help you visualize everything.
