In this episode, we have a special guest, Tyler Morrey. Tyler is the CEO of Upside DAO and On Chain Community Collaboration platform that enables private companies to transform their communities into DAO and reward individuals with tokenized owner. We are going to be discussing how community ownership can supercharge your brand. Something I'm super excited to dig deeper in with you. I bring on someone who's trying to change the way that brands think about community. Tyler and his team believe that distributing tokenized ownership of a brand transforms community members into vested and passionate ambassadors and contributors. This concept is new to me and I couldn't be more thankful to be sitting across from Tyler today, hoping he can share his journey with the rest of the Remote Start Nation and drop some serious value with us on his business and this concept.
