Ryan raises Jensen Huang's Davos prediction that tradespeople will become the next millionaire class. Rowe confirms he agrees — he filmed himself in his bathrobe reacting to the Huang-Fink conversation, turned the camera, and got 3 million views in 48 hours. The public appetite for this message is real. He then catalogs the corporate commitments now flowing in: Meta's $150 million workforce academy, Lowe's $250 million in HVAC training, Home Depot's $100 million Pathway to Pro, BlackRock's $100 million in North Texas. Wells Fargo — a bank, not a blue-collar company — is his foundation's biggest backer because they've 'done the math.'

Ad-based monetization works well for game apps where users spend extended time in-session, as seen with Grid and Wordle.
Tool-focused apps like PuffCount are poor candidates for ad monetization because users don't stay in-session long enough.
A hard paywall is a screen that blocks all app features unless the user pays or starts a free trial — it cannot be dismissed.
Mobile apps are primarily monetized through either ads (best for games) or in-app purchases/subscriptions (best for tools).
