Better Than Yesterday: How Rundzee Was Born: A Philosopher-Dreamer's Way of Serving People, Respecting All Souls, and Building a Global Marketplace

What does it really take to build an app that people use — with more heart than budget?

Alaattin "Al" Tuncer was a commercial diver, a skydiver, and a semi-truck driver before he was a tech founder. He is not a programmer. But he knows people, logistics, and what it feels like to be the worker waiting for the next job. So he built Rundzee: one app where a customer can order food, send a package, get an errand done, or book a service — and where riders, small restaurants, and skilled providers can all earn a living.

Better Than Yesterday is the honest, inside story of how Rundzee was born, written while the paint was still wet. You will see the night shift that turned one set of computers into two teams, the 48-hour execution mode that finished what customers actually needed, the day the first order moved from a kitchen to a family's table, and the storms in between: permits, pricing, trust, and the 2 a.m. doubts every founder knows.

Underneath the story is a philosophy you can use tomorrow morning:

• Dream. Breathe in. Take inspired action.

• If you fall, get up again — and again.

• Nothing is wrong; everything is what it is supposed to be.

• You create your own reality.

• Respect all souls and all cultures. The world is your home.

• Every day, be better than yesterday.

With 21 hard-won lessons, a founder's toolkit of ready-to-use messages and checklists, 33 illustrations, and a Daily Core to read before you read the news, this is a book for anyone sitting on an idea and waiting for permission.

You don't need permission. You need a decision, a crew, and the courage to start.
