• 1:24
  tyler-nehil: for having me honored to be here.
• 1:25
  tom-jackobs: Awesome.
• 1:26
  tom-jackobs: So glad you are here as well the focus of the business is promoting good mental health or promoting mental health or promoting the ability for men to speak about mental health.
• 1:36
  tom-jackobs: And you just happen to sell apparel as well, which is like most people will be like, well, you're an apparel company.
• 1:43
  tom-jackobs: And then, then you're kind of pigeonholed into that idea.
• 1:46
  tom-jackobs: And then you're always an apparel company.
• 1:48
  tom-jackobs: There's limited flexibility that you can have with that.
• 1:51
  tom-jackobs: So, tell us, tell us your story and what, what, what precipitated, precipitated you starting the, the, the movement?
• 2:01
  tyler-nehil: Where to start?
• 2:03
  tyler-nehil: So I was diagnosed with bipolar very early on in my life.
• 2:08
  tyler-nehil: Was an okay student, but was definitely like in and out of the principles, kind of misbehaved was like a problem child.
• 2:15
  tyler-nehil: Like I was kicked out of three preschools for not behaving and stuff like that.
• 2:19
  tyler-nehil: And so early on, I had like
• 2:21
  tom-jackobs: That and,
• 2:22
  tyler-nehil: the,
• 2:23
  tom-jackobs: early on I had like the,
• 2:26
  tyler-nehil: the thoughts that were coming in were not positive, just from like situations that I was in, whether it was like doing bad at school or the preschool thing or whatever.
• 2:35
  tyler-nehil: And then I I never felt like I really fit in.
• 2:39
  tyler-nehil: I always felt like I was different a little bit, whether that was just different socially or feeling like I was meant for more since I was a little kid.
• 2:48
  tyler-nehil: And got into high school, was not a great student, went through multiple depressions while I was in high school, trying to figure myself out, dealing with bipolar depression.
• 2:58
  tyler-nehil: Then got out of high school, went to college for construction, and it wasn't my thing, and I actually failed out and then tried to get in three times by taking like a math class at a community college, and I was like, this is just not for me.
• 3:12
  tyler-nehil: So I started working construction, went through one of the biggest depressions that I've gone through my whole life when I was like 22.
• 3:19
  tyler-nehil: I'm 29 now.
• 3:21
  tyler-nehil: And That kind of like set in motion where I'm at today.
• 3:24
  tyler-nehil: I started reading books.
• 3:26
  tyler-nehil: I started doing breath work.
• 3:27
  tyler-nehil: I started doing anything that I could get my hands on that could potentially pull me out of what I was dealing with or prepare me for this to happen again in the future and make me strong enough to where I would be able to Face it.
• 3:41
  tyler-nehil: So I really started working out.
• 3:43
  tyler-nehil: I read I read up on David Goggins and I connected with him really well and his story about how he was kind of like a problem child dealing with a bunch of stuff when he was young and he started doing all these really hard fitness challenges.
• 3:54
  tyler-nehil: So I picked up like Spartan races and I was like, let's do the hardest one for my first try.
• 3:59
  tyler-nehil: And then also add like 10 pounds of weight and do a seven hour Spartan race.
• 4:03
  tyler-nehil: And like, It was just craziness.
• 4:06
  tyler-nehil: And so I just tried to like really strengthen my mind.
• 4:09
  tom-jackobs: And so I just tried to like really
• 4:11
  tyler-nehil: and it's been a process.
• 4:12
  tyler-nehil: It's been a lot of growth and I've become somebody that I'm still trying to wrap my head around.
• 4:18
  tyler-nehil: I've become somebody that like people look up to and come to for information and are inspired by and for me it's like I'm just doing normal stuff that I think should be done.
• 4:29
  tyler-nehil: But so I Went through this journey of growth through the past couple of years and then kind of got tired with construction.
• 4:37
  tyler-nehil: And then, like I said, I realized there was something missing with like the mental health community.
• 4:42
  tyler-nehil: And, and that's when I started the apparel company.
• 4:45
  tyler-nehil: And so far it's been, it's been going great.
• 4:48
  tyler-nehil: It's been healing for me, which is awesome.
• 4:51
  tyler-nehil: And.
• 4:51
  tyler-nehil: I just recently added on the one on one coaching thing and I got five clients so far that I'm coaching weekly doing one on one coaching calls.
• 5:00
  tyler-nehil: And it's really cool to see that.
• 5:02
  tyler-nehil: It's weird that, so I, I read a lot of books and I, I know all this information about growth and becoming a better version of yourself.
• 5:10
  tyler-nehil: And I just feel like it's common knowledge, but it's, it's not, there's not a lot of There's a good amount of people who are on the same path as me, but not everybody knows what I know, even though I like, I think that.
• 5:22
  tyler-nehil: So sharing stuff that I was taught and these mindset shifts and the keys to resiliency and seeing people respond to them in such a positive way is, is almost life changing for me.
• 5:34
  tyler-nehil: Like, it's really cool to see that like I'm affecting people in such a positive light.
• 5:38
  tyler-nehil: And so yeah, that's, that's the coaching company that I just added.
• 5:41
  tyler-nehil: And, and that's kind of where we're at now.
• 5:43
  tyler-nehil: It's, it's been journey.
• 5:45
  tyler-nehil: And I don't, this is something that I've said to people a lot and they're, they kind of like their eyes kind of go in the back of their head, but I don't regret the suffering at all, even though it was like years of suffering and a lot like that's like when you're pushed into a corner, when you're pushed so you can't like.
• 6:01
  tyler-nehil: Like when, when all the all the boats are burned and you're, you're stuck on an island, like you got to figure your, your shit out, excuse me.
• 6:07
  tyler-nehil: But like, it's, it's, it's up to you.
• 6:09
  tyler-nehil: And so like I was pushed into a corner and I was forced to figure it out.
• 6:13
  tyler-nehil: So I don't regret the suffering at all.
• 6:15
  tyler-nehil: I wouldn't take it back for anything.
• 6:17
  tyler-nehil: It's, it's made me who I am today and it's made me better.
• 6:21
  tyler-nehil: So yeah, that's, that's my journey.
• 6:24
  tom-jackobs: That's my journey.
• 6:25
  tom-jackobs: Oh, that, that's, that's so amazing and congrats on figuring it out and, and continuing to work on yourself and obviously helping other people do the same thing.
• 6:36
  tom-jackobs: I think that goes back to what your definition of a heart led business is as well in terms of finding that need in the community and, and then fulfilling that need and helping the people first before thinking about
• 6:48
  tyler-nehil: A hundred percent.
• 6:48
  tom-jackobs: Now, when you started the apparel company, was it more kind of therapy for you or were you looking to make, you know, a good amount of profit doing it?
• 6:59
  tom-jackobs: Or what was the thought process
• 7:01
  tyler-nehil: Yeah.
• 7:01
  tyler-nehil: I I really wanted to make a
• 7:04
  tom-jackobs: I, I really wanted to
• 7:06
  tyler-nehil: I, I keep seeing videos on social media and stuff that like everyone nowadays is lonely and everybody wants community and, and the tribe and stuff like that.
• 7:15
  tyler-nehil: And especially men need to be with other men to grow nowadays.
• 7:19
  tyler-nehil: The I can only speak from what I've seen, but the men, like men are lost.
• 7:23
  tyler-nehil: There's not like, I don't know if masculinity is the right word, but it just seems like what I'm seeing is things are kind of falling off and men are lost a little bit.
• 7:32
  tyler-nehil: I guess that's the best way to put it.
• 7:33
  tyler-nehil: So I wanted to create a community.
• 7:35
  tyler-nehil: Yeah, I do want to make money like that is a goal.
• 7:37
  tyler-nehil: But I think in, in one of these books I read by it's called The Catalyst.
• 7:43
  tyler-nehil: I forget who it's by, but it talks about how when you, lead with trying to change someone's life or, or change a customer's life and improve their life without expectation.
• 7:54
  tyler-nehil: Like the money follows.
• 7:55
  tyler-nehil: So I really wasn't too worried about the money.
• 7:58
  tyler-nehil: I kind of just wanted to impact people's lives and, and create something bigger than myself that that I needed when I was younger.
• 8:07
  tyler-nehil: Cause there wasn't a lot of like mentors and coaching around me.
• 8:09
  tyler-nehil: Like it was.
• 8:10
  tyler-nehil: It was me trying to figure stuff out and YouTube videos.
• 8:12
  tyler-nehil: So that's why I started the coaching company as well.
• 8:16
  tyler-nehil: But yeah, it's really just like to bring people together and to have connections with people and information and, and inspiration and to feel belonging and cared for, which is something that I wish I had when I was going through it at a younger age.
• 8:32
  tyler-nehil: And I believe that'll help people immensely.
• 8:34
  tom-jackobs: Yeah, for sure.
• 8:35
  tom-jackobs: And the title of the book is The Catalyst, How to Change Anyone's Mind by Jonah
• 8:40
  tyler-nehil: Yes, I think that's, yeah, that's one of her.
• 8:43
  tom-jackobs: Yes.
• 8:43
  tom-jackobs: I think that's, yeah.
• 8:44
  tom-jackobs: By Jonah, Jonah Berger.
• 8:45
  tom-jackobs: Yeah.
• 8:46
  tyler-nehil: Let me just,
• 8:47
  tom-jackobs: We can link that up in the show notes as well, so, if that is actually the, the book.
• 8:52
  tom-jackobs: So community comes first, and then.
• 8:54
  tom-jackobs: The apparel company is to support that community, get the message out, which I think is again, a lot of people will think, well, that's kind of ass backwards in terms of, you know, create, create the company and then the movement, but create the movement and then the company will follow.
• 9:11
  tom-jackobs: And, you know, it, it seems to be working really well for you.
• 9:15
  tom-jackobs: Do you have any, I know that I'm putting you kind of on the spot here, but any samples of like what the sayings on the shirts are or what the.
• 9:22
  tom-jackobs: Apparel looks like other than like your logo behind you is completely like I love that.
• 9:28
  tom-jackobs: Yeah, logo

• 10:12
  tom-jackobs: So I don't know if you could see
• 10:14
  tyler-nehil: so I've been given the gift of suffering.

  tyler-nehil: So the story behind that one is, yeah,

  tom-jackobs: that's cool.
• 10:27
  tom-jackobs: So the story behind that one is, yeah, yeah, thank
• 10:32
  tyler-nehil: really taking the fact that it's a superpower to like a whole nother level with just that one quote like Acknowledging.
• 10:38
  tyler-nehil: Yeah, I'm going through it.
• 10:40
  tyler-nehil: I've gone through it, but it's not gonna stop me and and nothing really will And then I have this one
• 10:46
  tom-jackobs: And
• 10:47
  tyler-nehil: watch me
• 10:48
  tom-jackobs: I have this
• 10:49
  tyler-nehil: Growing up, I had a lot of doubt in myself and then a lot of doubt in
• 10:52
  tom-jackobs: Growing up, I had a lot of doubt in myself and then a lot of doubt in or a lot of people.
• 10:56
  tyler-nehil: I'm, I'm a big on proving yourself, believing yourself and proving yourself right.
• 11:02
  tyler-nehil: And not listening to the doubts of other people.
• 11:05
  tyler-nehil: And then this one is one of our latest ones that's doing pretty well at peace and chaos to kind of like embrace what you're going through and like stay the course, keep the warrior
• 11:15
  tom-jackobs: Embrace yeah.
• 11:16
  tom-jackobs: That's, that's, those are great messages too, by the way.
• 11:19
  tom-jackobs: And I can see why they're resonating with, with a lot of people.
• 11:22
  tom-jackobs: And so going back to the, the community, like how, how long have, has the community been alive?
• 11:28
  tom-jackobs: And, and the,
• 11:29
  tyler-nehil: so, right now I have a Facebook
• 11:32
  tom-jackobs: Right now I have a Facebook group and that started
• 11:37
  tyler-nehil: March of last year.
• 11:39
  tyler-nehil: And
• 11:40
  tom-jackobs: March of last
• 11:41
  tyler-nehil: is definitely a challenge for me trying to like,
• 11:44
  tom-jackobs: that, that is definitely a challenge for
• 11:46
  tyler-nehil: daily on Facebook and not run out of ideas and have great engaging content as well as like the business and social on other platforms and stuff like that.
• 11:55
  tyler-nehil: So I'm I'm slowly growing and tinkering at that aspect.
• 11:59
  tyler-nehil: But it's, it's been going good.
• 12:01
  tyler-nehil: I'm learning that the more I share about my story versus like sharing motivational quotes or stuff, the more people engage and, and it's it's something that's growing and becoming bigger and I'm getting more engagement and people are, are, are liking the group.
• 12:16
  tyler-nehil: And I'm, I'm thinking about maybe doing like a discord because I know Facebook is not.
• 12:21
  tyler-nehil: Something that a lot of younger people necessarily are on.
• 12:25
  tyler-nehil: I think it's more TikTok and Instagram, so if I could find a platform to have like
• 12:31
  tom-jackobs: So if I could find a platform to have
• 12:34
  tyler-nehil: In like
• 12:35
  tom-jackobs: all ages of
• 12:36
  tyler-nehil: would be ideal.
• 12:37
  tom-jackobs: in like a group, that would be ideal.
• 12:41
  tom-jackobs: Yeah, yeah, for sure.
• 12:42
  tom-jackobs: And social media isn't all that great for mental health either.
• 12:45
  tom-jackobs: So you want to try to keep people off of that as much as possible.
• 12:50
  tom-jackobs: Yeah.
• 12:51
  tom-jackobs: But it's a great way of spreading the message.
• 12:53
  tom-jackobs: As, as I'm sure you've seen.
• 12:55
  tom-jackobs: Yeah, we can if you send, send that Facebook group over, we can link that up into the show notes and let the listeners you know, look at that and see if it might resonate with them as well.
• 13:06
  tom-jackobs: Get more people, you know, really talking about mental health.
• 13:09
  tom-jackobs: And we're recording this in July, but June was men's mental health month.
• 13:13
  tom-jackobs: Is that,
• 13:13
  tyler-nehil: Yeah.
• 13:14
  tyler-nehil: Yeah, that's correct.
• 13:16
  tyler-nehil: I I say it like that because I feel like
• 13:19
  tom-jackobs: I say it like that
• 13:20
  tyler-nehil: a lot of social media I see
• 13:23
  tom-jackobs: a lot of social media, I see,
• 13:25
  tyler-nehil: was talking about it, which is great, but I just feel like it's, it's one of those things where people don't think about it.
• 13:31
  tyler-nehil: Like, it's not like, it's Christmas time.
• 13:33
  tyler-nehil: I'm so excited for like the first two months before Christmas.
• 13:36
  tyler-nehil: And then that kind of thing.
• 13:37
  tyler-nehil: It's kind of like, it still feels like something that's shoved under the rug a little bit.
• 13:42
  tyler-nehil: Yeah.
• 13:42
  tyler-nehil: That's okay.
• 13:43
  tyler-nehil: I think people are starting to wake up and realize things, but yeah,
• 13:46
  tom-jackobs: Yeah, it only gets one month, right?
• 13:47
  tom-jackobs: But mental health is with us all day, every day, every year.
• 13:52
  tom-jackobs: And we really need to be taking care of, not only taking care of ourselves, but we need to be taking care of our fellow humans as well.
• 13:59
  tom-jackobs: And I think that's, that's the beautiful thing about the message that you're, you're putting out there and the community that you're creating is literally putting people first and helping them, which in turn, will help your business.
• 14:12
  tom-jackobs: And just like the book that you mentioned earlier, The Go Giver by Bob Berg.
• 14:17
  tom-jackobs: It's that whole give first and, and it will come back to you 10 times, 20 times, you know, multiple, multiple, times coming back.
• 14:26
  tom-jackobs: But it's a longer, it's a longer stretch though, right?
• 14:29
  tom-jackobs: Like if you were thinking, Hey, I just want to create a, an apparel company.
• 14:34
  tom-jackobs: I'm going to put some cool slogans on a, on a t shirt.
• 14:38
  tom-jackobs: And I'm going to put that up on Amazon.
• 14:39
  tom-jackobs: I'm going to make a bunch of money doing it.
• 14:42
  tom-jackobs: Do you think it would be as successful as what you've created now?
• 14:45
  tyler-nehil: that's a that's a problem I see a little bit with
• 14:49
  tom-jackobs: that's a
• 14:49
  tyler-nehil: startup brands specifically apparel is they they have cool apparel, but it's it's like there's no substance There's no Message behind it.
• 14:58
  tyler-nehil: There's no story.
• 14:59
  tyler-nehil: One thing that I learned just in the past year is that people buy from people they like.
• 15:05
  tyler-nehil: So if say for me, like I'm kind of the, the face of the brand right now just because my story is is part of the brand.
• 15:12
  tyler-nehil: I think brands that have some type of come up story or brands that have a real message, it's not just apparel.
• 15:21
  tyler-nehil: It's, it's the movement behind it.
• 15:23
  tyler-nehil: Do.
• 15:23
  tyler-nehil: A lot better than brands that are just like, here, buy my apparel.
• 15:28
  tyler-nehil: It's got, it says, don't quit.
• 15:30
  tyler-nehil: It just, it just says that.
• 15:31
  tyler-nehil: And, and that's the whole thing.
• 15:33
  tyler-nehil: Like what's, what's the substance behind it?
• 15:35
  tyler-nehil: Like there has to be a meaning.
• 15:37
  tom-jackobs: what's, what's the substance behind it?
• 15:39
  tom-jackobs: Like there has to be a meaning.
• 15:40
  tom-jackobs: Yeah, yeah, totally.
• 15:42
  tom-jackobs: Just do it.
