And now here is your host.

Welcome to this episode of The How of Business.

This is Henry Lopez.

And my guest today is Tyler King.

Tyler, welcome to the show. Thanks, Henry. Thanks for having me. Absolutely. We're going to chat about

Tyler. He's going to show with us his interesting journey to entrepreneurship, chat about that.
