• Mentors can breathe life back into you
• “Just an ordinary guy trying to do extraordinary things by putting in the extra work”
• Your life can be turned upside down in an instant
• Emotional and mental impact of finding yourself alone – no distractions, no noise
• Taking ownership rather than playing the victim in your own life
• What if instead of focusing on accolades + things we focused on being an exceptional human beings?
• Why Tyler is building something with no expectation of financial gain
• Adversity + transformation vs. transaction
• Desire to help others experience difficult life challenges sooner
• Difference between motivation (external) + inspiration (internal)
• Comeback of vulnerability and recognizing it as a strength: “The rise of the real”
• Tendency to compare ourselves and our successes and struggles to others and placing higher value on greater struggles
• Tyler’s mentality of running from negativity
• Need to evaluate the things + people you allow into your life
• Instead of focusing on passion, ask: “Are you chasing hustle or are you chasing your gifts?”
• Make a decision on how you are going to choose to live today
• Tyler’s advice to YPs: have patience + stop trying to play catch up
