Meet Tyler Hall

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Tyler Hall. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Tyler below.

Hi Tyler, thanks for sharing your insights with our community today. Part of your success, no doubt, is due to your work ethic and so we’d love if you could open up about where you got your work ethic from?

My mother, Jacqueline, has consistently exemplified strength and resilience throughout my life. Her ability to manage the dynamic environment of our household, which included 8 siblings but specifically how she managed my twin brothers, Jaron and Jared, alongside myself, has had a major impact on me. She has always maintained a clear focus on her personal goals, ensuring that she never loses sight of her objectives.

One cherished memory from my childhood is when I was fortunate enough to have my room designed during my second grade. Although I have a strong love for Nebraska football, I am, at heart, a Longhorn fan. As a result, having a room adorned in burnt orange was incredibly special to me. Initially, I had requested a full-size bed so I could accommodate a couch in my room. However, my mother, determined for me to have the best, insisted on a king-size bed. Despite my initial resistance, her passionate arguments—comparable to cursing me out from Nebraska Furniture Mart to Japan lol—ultimately persuaded me to accept her choice.

Looking back, I am truly grateful that I gave in to her wishes, as I now recognize that I indeed deserve a king-size bed, reflecting the sense of self-worth she has instilled in me throughout the years.

Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?

Reflecting on my journey, I have come to understand that the greatest rewards often come with significant risks.

During my junior year at Omaha South High School, I had the privilege of playing football, where I experienced the power of community defined by determination, heart, and passion. I managed to achieve an impressive rushing total of 867 yards over three games. However, my decision to step away from the game was influenced by my desire to motivate my teammates. If I could turn back time, I would certainly choose to reset that moment.

This experience taught me invaluable lessons: first, that no one is greater than life itself, and that humility can come swiftly; second, that one should never abandon a commitment once made. Football was not just my first love; it was a profound part of my identity. Quitting the sport felt like relinquishing a part of myself.

This journey has instilled in me a determination to be direct and focused. I believe in aiming for the stars; even if I fall short, I trust that wherever I land is precisely where I am meant to be.

Today, I strive to rectify my past decisions by becoming a positive influence for future generations. My experiences have shaped who I am, and I recognize that without them, I would not be on this path of personal growth and transformation.

Which leads me 10 years down the road to….

**Balloon Elite: Believe Achieve Live Life Outstanding Overcome Negativity, Eventually Love Ignites True Energy **

Witnessing an individual’s journey from adversity to success is incredibly rewarding, and it brings immense satisfaction to know that we have played a significant role in their development.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

**The Essence of Integrity**

Integrity is a term that is often used, but its true meaning goes beyond mere definition. It embodies a deeper commitment to ethical principles and one’s values.

Patience, often cited as a virtue, is an essential trait that can be challenging to practice. Yet, the rewards of patience ultimately lead to profound satisfaction. While this approach may not resonate with everyone, it has proven effective for me.

It is important to refrain from living solely to please others. If you do not find joy in your own pursuits, how can you expect to derive happiness from external sources?

Determination is crucial; it’s beneficial to be confident, but it’s essential to distinguish confidence from arrogance. You have the power to define that balance. Approach all endeavors with passion, and seek common ground to refine your craft.

Curiosity, in my view, is akin to embracing adventure. It encourages us to think creatively, to view situations from multiple perspectives, and to embrace the unknown. While it may seem unconventional, being self-aware allows you to maintain control over your experiences and decisions.

**Embracing Challenges**

Embrace the challenges that come your way, as adversity shapes who we are. By acknowledging and transforming your weaknesses into strengths, you not only develop a well-rounded character but also create a balance that enhances your newfound capabilities.

Life will inevitably present obstacles; however, achieving success in the face of adversity is even more rewarding, especially when many choose to give up. Remember, if you give up, you forfeit the opportunity to succeed. Conversely, by persevering, you ensure that you never truly lose, as each attempt contributes to your growth.

Explore various coping strategies that align with your journey toward success. Life operates within cycles; by applying the same dedication and commitment to all areas of your endeavors, you will reach new heights and achieve your goals.

Thanks so much for sharing all these insights with us today. Before we go, is there a book that’s played in important role in your development?

First and foremost, I would like to express my respect for the Bible. It serves as a valuable resource for learning about decision-making and understanding the consequences of our choices.

Additionally, I would like to acknowledge “Letters to a Young Brother: Manifest Your Destiny” by Hill Harper, with appreciation for Cara Riggs for introducing this remarkable read. In this book, Harper shares insights from his upbringing and encourages readers to avoid repeating his mistakes. I found it truly inspirational to read about his experiences, as he skillfully transforms them into valuable life lessons. It is essential not to conceal your identity; rather, embrace your truths, as they are integral to who you are and the journey you have undertaken.
