James Setzer is the founder at DreamBuilders Simple Solutions. We talk about the movement and how we can all do better when it comes to racial equality.
Listen to part 1 on the App Masters Podcast where James shares how he finds profitable app ideas and positions them in a competitive market. Plus two strategies that I absolutely love: 1) how he uses giveaways to get his initial downloads and ratings; 2) how he studies the newest, top grossing apps to see what they are doing right.

Diane and Kevin Hamilton are the founders of Binary Formations, a family run software design and development company based in Virginia. The company was founded with one goal in mind: To build software that solves a problem in our everyday lives with the hope that others would find it useful in theirs as well.
They released our first app, Home Inventory, for the Mac in 2005 and it remains our flagship app. In the years since, it has grown a sizable following, garnered rave reviews, and was chosen by Apple as Mac App Store Best of 2013 and Editor’s Choice picks. They also produce the iOS chore tracking app, Chore-inator (a Macworld 2014 Best of Show winner), Too Phat (a visual weight loss app for iOS), My Reasons (an innovative way to help you build good habits available for the Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and Apple Watch), and Adam Learns Shapes and Colors (an iPad app for teaching children basic shapes and colors).
