Feb 14, 2022

Welcome to another episode of The Success Lift Podcast! Tune in to this week’s episode as Brian chats with Tyler McKinna. Tyler shares his journey of working to be a better person, not only physically but also mentally. One of the most common pieces of advice that people getting into fitness get is to ‘know your why’. Tyler reinforces this concept, explaining that there are a lot of reasons as to why someone would want to perform better.

On a more personal note, Tyler highlights the importance of creating a safe, honest, and solid environment for children and, making a parallel with his own childhood, he explains that that’s what he has been trying to do for his two daughters. In addition, Brian and Tyler discuss all things reading habits, the perfect routine, opening up to learn new things, and how to manage parent expectations.
