Ryan’s Corner - What Is He Up To?

I made my LinkedIn post celebrating my 1 year anniversary being self employed and highlighting 3 of the 15 startups I’ve worked with.

I’m making a pivot to a new business model which focuses on lead generation within traditional industries (life insurance, wealth) as revenue is extremely stable there and the market size is massive. If anyone has any friends / contacts in that industry, feel free to reply to this email, love to get some advice
