Ryan Doucet and Max Edson with PRYCD
Join your hosts, David Pere and Alex Felice, with their guests, Ryan Doucet and Max Edson, as they talk about land investing and the experience of starting a business whose services focus on automating the processes of land liquidation and investments.
Before their current venture, Ryan and Max partnered in a crypto app project that their target users didn't receive well. The project eventually arrived at its ultimate failure. Despite the hurdle they faced as creators, their collaborative spirit glued them to continue to their now growing project: LandX.
In this episode, Ryan and Max put the limelight on the making of their platform and the whole mindset of creating something that the market needs. All of that and more as you tune in.
