Many of his buddies immediately transitioned into new careers, but Tyran knew that he wanted to take some time for himself to pursue some of the dreams he had put on hold while he was in active duty. He graduated from culinary school and started an acting career before joining forces with one of his military brothers to start Life Behind the Beard. His advice to others going through big life transitions is to accept that you will not be the same as you were before, that you will need to sit down and re-learn who you are and what matters to you. Tyran didn\u2019t know anything about anxiety or depression until he realized that he was going through them, so he had to take a step back and redefine who he was going to be in life.\n\nTyran was repeatedly told that he should start a podcast to talk about his life experiences, so he finally joined Kimi\u2019s cohort of new podcasters to get his feet on the ground and get his message out there. He talks about the realities of relationships, marriage, parenting, how to handle trials and tribulations, and finding beauty in the struggles of life. He especially wants to break down stigmas and talk with his audience about how to function in society. For anyone considering launching something new, Tyran recommends that you start with researching as much as you can about that idea, either through online research or by asking someone who has followed a similar path. Everyone has something to say, and Tyran wants to be an example of someone who is using his voice well. Be sure to tune into his podcast, Beard Talk with a Veteran wherever you listen to podcasts!\n\nTopics Covered in this Episode:\n\u2022Launching something new\n\u2022The goals of Tyran\u2019s podcast\n\u2022How Tyran got to where he is now\n\u2022Breaking down stigmas\n\nConnect with Tyran:\nhttp://beardtalkwithavet.podbean.com/\nhttps://www.lifebehindthebeard.co/\n\nConnect with Kimi:\nhttp://www.kimiwalker.com/\nhttps://web.facebook.com/kimiwalker\nhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/kimiwalker","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/c6845f1d-a5b4-491f-a8f5-3fd45e9b4bef/ed7385ffb4c6d26a37ba29d5b70f226f.jpg"}
