Summary

Ryan Wyatt, president of Polygon Labs, joins the "Gen C" podcast to discuss his extensive experience in gaming prior to his current role and how he and Polygon Labs are helping bring brands into Web3 through their technology.

Ryan Wyatt shares his experience growing the Polygon Labs team, the development and growth team of Polygon, which has worked with big name brands ranging from Starbucks to Immutable. Sam and Avery pick Ryan's brain on how he approaches Web3 from the interoperability of communities, his take on whether wallets are a barrier to bringing people into the space and the digital ownership model.
