Nick Schwab CEO of Sleep Jar on Building a Profitable Voice App Business - Voicebot Podcast Ep 272

Nick Schwab is making his record fifth appearance on the Voicebot
Podcast. You can hear him previously on episodes 2, 22, 58, and
96. In fact, I recommend you check out episodes 2 and 58 to learn
more about his background and a sense of how his business has
evolved from deal of the day to stock ticker to sleep sounds
empire.



The more notable aspects of Nick's appearance today are that he
has not been on the podcast in three years, and Sleep Jar is
one of the most successful Alexa skills and voice-first user
experiences developed by a third party. We get into
monetization, growth, working with the platforms, and sometimes
no longer working with them.




Nick Schwab began building Alexa skills in 2016 and founded
Sleep Jar in 2017. Prior to committing to Sleep Jar full time
in 2021, he was a senior software engineer at Livio, a
subsidiary of Ford Motor Company. He is also an Alexa champion.
