In this podcast, I sit down with An to break down how he built a true retention machine using a powerful startup retention strategy designed to maximize day 30 retention from the ground up.

An explains how he structured his habit formation app around the bj fogg behavior model, and how that foundation made long-term retention predictable. We also dive deep into the viral scalable convertible framework and how he applied vsc framework growth principles to scale his ai relationship app, including behind-the-scenes insights from flame app growth.

On the acquisition side, An walks through his full tiktok growth strategy, how he executes a tiktok farming strategy, how he structures an iphone farm setup, and how he approaches scalable social media distribution. He also shares when and why he implemented a startup rebrand strategy to unlock the next level of growth.

We go deep on improving content conversion rates, building a repeatable ugc growth strategy, and leveraging ai content automation with structured systems built on advanced ai prompting and optimized master prompts ai workflows.
