Victoria Repa has known from her earliest days growing up in Ukraine how difficult it can be to lose weight. “In my family, everyone is overweight. It's our family problem and we can't overcome it.” Breaking that cycle provided Repa with the motivation to start her own journey toward better health, but she wanted to help others find their own motivation as well, and sustain it. Armed with business degrees from Kyiv University and Stanford, she launched the tech company BetterMe five years ago whose apps have already been downloaded 110 million times. Keeping that level of success going would be a challenge in any circumstances, but especially during the War in Ukraine which has required some staff to flee the country while others stayed to fight. Join host Michael Carrese for this inspirational conversation with a tenacious leader who is fighting for her country, her employees and the health of her customers all at once.Mentioned in this episode: https://u24.gov.ua/ to support the people of Ukraine.

#119: Victoria Repa, CEO and Co-Founder of BetterMe, an App Empire With 50 Million Users, 400,000+ Paid Subscribers, and $60M+ in Revenue

My guest today is Victoria Repa. Victoria is the founder and CEO of BetterMe, a fitness app based out of Ukraine. I’m very excited to have Victoria on the show because she has such an incredibly unconventional background and story that I find very very inspiring. In this interview, we talk about Victoria’s early upbringing in a tiny village in the east of Ukraine, how she educated herself early on, her move to Kyiv, her transition from working on transportation logistics to technology, her work on viral content - and how that led her to building a company with global ambitions from Kyiv. We also explore her personal life and systems - which I find incredibly inspiring and intimidating for how she not only makes time and space for contemplation, but also finds this introspection essential to her work. What’s also incredibly inspiring is that she’s just 26 - and she brings to her life and work an intentionality that I find incredibly rare. I’m very excited to welcome Victoria Repa to How Things Grow.KEY HIGHLIGHTSVictoria’s path from having zero experience in tech, to being CEO of a company behind the most-downloaded fitness and health appsHow Victoria learned to craft viral content for one of the biggest content companies in the world. How Victoria leveraged Facebook insights to discover niche topics and launch BetterMe.How Victoria and her team ‘test-drove’ the early versions of the app by trying out the practices on themselves.Why BetterMe has 6 different health and fitness related apps in the appstores.Victoria’s self-care and self-improvement practices – and why she says business is a “spiritual game”. Check out the full transcript and show notes here:https://howthingsgrow.co/how-viral-content-can-trigger-habit-change-at-scale-with-victoria-repa-founder-ceo-betterme/**Get more goodies here:http://MobileUserAcquisitionShow.comhttp://RocketShipHQ.comhttp://RocketShipHQ.com/blog
