Show Notes

Welcome back to How to Build an App.

This week we’re talking with Aaron Mitchell, founder of FreePlay.

FreePlay is an app that allows any group fitness instructor to connect with and coach their fitness communities live.

It didn’t start out that way, but we’ll let Aaron tell you how it did and how it became what it is today.

Aaron started out in project management at a tech software company called Landesk and then took those skills over to Domo where he ran multiple product teams.

Now he’s working full-time on FreePlay while consulting huge companies like Twitter, Sony, and ADT on the side.  

In this episode, Aaron will give us some of his back story and what led him to create FreePlay.

He’ll share some of the hard lessons he learned along the way and what he’d do differently if he could go back.
