Words from your host:

Rylan Lovejoy: "I decided to launch my own business when I realized that the more people I talk to and the more rapid information spreads. I have found that folks do not lack the ability to find answers, but need to know the right questions to ask. With that, some of the most fundamental headaches I have found business owners deal with is sourcing the right question for their unique situation. It cost one of two things: your time or your money. I have found that some of the money charged to find those questions is, in my opinion, ridiculous. So with that, my business was born. Everything we do is from a how to help educate standpoint. Not just financially, but with tech, ai, sales, taxes, and much more. I have built this firm that is rooted in community, delivering clarity, built on transparency. No more are the days where information is what keeps innovation at bay."
