#9 - Alex @ Hallow: Religion, Money, and AI

I sat down with Alex Jones, co-founder and CEO of Hallow, a religion tech startup focused on praying and meditation. Hallow is the #1 catholic app in the world, has more than 3mm downloads, and was the first religion and meditation app to crack the Apple App Store Top 10, beating popular apps like Instagram and TikTok. Ever. Enjoy my wild chat with Alex:
