What's up my friends, I'm so glad you're here. This is Chris Gill about your host of

Sadisle School. All year long, 2020, this is the year of interaction, taking questions,

attempting to give some sort of answer, but also hearing updates from our listeners who

are starting projects, doing all kinds of fun stuff all across the United States, Canada,

North America, and beyond. We've got a worldwide audience of just wonderful people out there,

and I'm fortunate to make this show. So thank you. That's all I had to say by wave introduction.

Just wanted to say thank you for listening. All right. Today's listener wants to make an app,

but needs some help knowing where to start. I'm going to give him three different paths to consider,

none of which involve becoming a programmer. I'll also point out something that most non-technical

people totally forget about when it comes to making an app, or otherwise doing something that requires

specific coding skills. I've seen this problem crop up time and time again, and it makes sense that

someone might overlook it, but it's really important not to. So if you're interested in making an

app, or otherwise doing something high-tech, and you're not a technical person, which I'm not

really either, then you might want to listen to this answer. All right. Let's jump in.

Hi, Chris. This is Mark Wilkins from Dallas, Texas. And I've been listening to the show since episode

one. I'm thinking about starting a side hustle to create a smartphone app. Do you have any tips

for how to put together a development team and funding? I'm concerned if I share the idea with

others because that's all it is, an idea that could be used to create a competing product. Can't wait

to hear from you, and thanks very much. Mark, what's up? Thank you so much for listening. Dallas,

Texas is definitely going to be on my list for the spring tour coming in just, wow, what is it,

two months or so? I can't believe it. I'll have to go back and do some work on that as soon as I

finish recording this answer. All right. So a lot of stuff to talk about here. Let's assume first
