In this episode of the GDM Podcast, we’re joined by Brady Halse, co-founder of Digital Awesome, the team behind 300 live dispensary apps and a new wave of brand apps. We dig into what makes an app convert, why webview wrappers fail, and how to use push notifications without risking 10DLC SMS fines.

From true POS and rewards integrations to Target-style promo UIs, raffles, and Android shopping that actually works, Brady breaks down what top operators are doing to turn app users into higher LTV customers.
