YOHANN TAIEB: So, today I have an amazing guest. Her name is Gloryvee Cordero, and she’s been working at the Mobile App Industry. Hi Gloryvee, how are you?

GLORYVEE:: Hi YOHANN:, how are you?

YOHANN::  I’m doing amazing, thank you. Yes, so, the reason why we are here today is that, you’ve been doing lots of different things and we could talk for hours about all the different things you’re doing. You have plenty of different businesses, not just in the Mobile App industry, but pretty much everywhere. But, today, we want to focus on your Mobile App stuff. Can you just give us the background about yourself and how you came in the mobile industry?

GLORYVEE:: Sure, absolutely. You know, I’ve been in the tech industry for quite a bit of time. I started quite early in my career. When I was about 15 (years old) or so, I started developing a lot of software applications for Fortune-500 companies as an intern, with what is now Brizen. At the time it wasn’t, it was a telephone company. And, I’ve migrated from that. I was quite interested in the mobile industry about 2007-2008, and you know, it’s interesting because at that time, it was only fully coding from scratch; you really didn’t have a lot of fun in actually developing games. It was actually very frustrating for the most part. There weren’t the things that we have today to really be able to reskin an app and make multiple apps from one code.

So, back then I was doing a lot of government work and I was actually creating mobile applications within the government sector and it was, again, not the most fun of things to do. But, it was definitely an interest of mine. So then, about…I would say about two years ago, I met a couple of friends of mine that were into the mobile industry. And, they had heard of the app empire and they told me about it. There was this rave about going into mobile applications and I was in development. I just got very excited about it because it seemed that it was going to be fun, not just a lot of programming and frustrations. I also noticed that there was a shift in monetization that wasn’t there in previous years. A lot of (us), previous developers, we were developing, hoping that people would purchase, right?

So we would rather take a government contract because that would pay well, rather than monetizing an app in the app store. But, all of that had been changing so we decided, â€Hey, lets give this a try!â€, and a lot of my friends started getting into it and I got in as well. And, it was a rough start because I had just done programs, you know, many, many things, but never in my wildest imagination would I have ever done anything with Coco Studio or with Object C programming. And here it was, I was in front of it, in front of this thing going, “oh my! This is different.†So I tackled with outsourcing, and those didn’t go too well either and you get to that point when you say, “Hmm, is it worth even my time?†But, back in December of, not this year but the year before. I made a commitment to say, “By the end of 2013 I want to make six figures doing this and if I don’t, that will be my cue to just walk away and do my own thing.†And, I achieved that. By August of last year, I already had over 1.5 million downloads in the app store. I had about… , I only had about 45 apps in the app store. And, it was one app that had made its debut and it was, I guess, the most popular. And it came out of my passion for car racing.
