More and more students are learning to code in high school but how do you take that next step to turn it into a profitable company?

In this episode, co-founder of AppSydney, 15-year-old Nicholas Mihailou, takes us through how he learned to code to the experience of sharing his first app with friends at school.

He also shares some of the pros and cons of being a teenage entrepreneur, what it's like creating apps for large companies and gives his advice for other students wanting to do the same.

Host's Notes:
Starting an app development business is so much more than just creating an app. There's all the emails, marketing, invoicing, customer communications and more! It's awesome Nick is learning all of this now and is able to share his experiences. My big take away from chatting with Nick is don't wait to "grow up" to start something, start it now!
