Rafael Kramer - this 14 yr old makes $100k/mo PROFIT building apps with ai (here's how)

Rafael Kramer turned a viral meme into a mobile game at 14 years old — and made over $100K in profit in a single month. Now, through his venture studio Mindmush, he's racked up 10M+ downloads across 50+ apps.

In this episode of The Superwall Podcast, Rafael breaks down his entire playbook with Joseph — from riding viral trends to building a distribution engine that's landed him multiple exits before turning 19.

• Turning a viral DaBaby meme into 2M downloads using a no-code tool and one all-nighter
• The dead-simple AdMob monetization strategy behind six-figure months — no in-app purchases needed
• How one Skibidi Toilet YouTube Short hit 50M views and drove millions of game downloads
• Why 50/50 rev-share deals with influencers crush flat-fee sponsorships
• The face-scan-before-paywall trick that weaponizes sunk-cost psychology
• Hiring high schoolers to run faceless UGC pages for near-free installs
• Why follower count means nothing — and what to look for in the comments instead
• His biggest swing yet: a wellness app built to prove viral skills transfer to real products
