Ryan Williams: 我亲眼目睹了2008年房地产崩盘的影响，这激发了我购买房屋并帮助社区的想法。我在哈佛大学期间，通过自学和教授的指导，我对房地产产生了浓厚的兴趣。在黑石工作后，我决定离开金融行业，创立Cadre，旨在实现房地产投资的民主化。我与Jared Kushner和Josh Kushner建立了良好的合作关系，并始终坚持我的价值观。尽管面临媒体的负面关注，但在导师和团队的支持下，我成功地将Cadre打造成一个成功的平台。最终，我决定出售Cadre，因为我想更有效地实现业务多元化，并找到一个使命一致的合作伙伴。 Jeff Berman: 瑞安的故事是一个白手起家的企业家的故事，他的韧性和动力帮助他从头开始扩展了一项业务。瑞安散发着能量，你想要支持他，相信他，并对他所说的一切感到兴奋。

He founded Cadre in 2014 to address this problem, and scaled it to impressive heights before an acquisition last year that sources say was valued at north of one billion dollars, combined. Williams talks with host Jeff Berman about how he built a powerful network of mentors to support his success, what he learned after being thrust into the spotlight because of one of his investors, and why he decided to exit his business.
