“Built one of the world's most-used prayer apps by learning to let go.”
The Story
He built one of the most widely used prayer apps in the world — and the key to making it work was the lesson every entrepreneur resists: surrender. In this conversation with Trixy Castro, Matt Potter breaks down why letting go isn't a weakness and how surrender became the sharpest strategy in his toolkit.
