Join Johnny (@johnnypage13) and Matt (@mattverlaque) as they sit down with former NASA engineer turned entrepreneur, Tyler Ryan.

In this great conversation we go deep into Tyler's background and strategies, how he approached leaving one the best jobs on the planet to pursue his dream of entrepreneurship, and his big vision for his company LTV Numbers.

We uncover his journey from failed software development to successful launch and how that required a strong commitment to data-driven decision-making.
