Meet Tyler Walsh

We were lucky to catch up with Tyler Walsh recently and have shared our conversation below.

Tyler, thank you so much for taking the time to share your lessons learned with us and we’re sure your wisdom will help many. So, one question that comes up often and that we’re hoping you can shed some light on is keeping creativity alive over long stretches – how do you keep your creativity alive?

Honestly, I think it comes down to staying curious. I’m constantly observing. Whether it’s people, music, or what’s trending online. I try to approach every situation like I don’t know anything and just ask questions. That mindset keeps things fresh. Plus, I make it a habit to look back at what’s worked before and figure out how I can remix or evolve it.

And honestly? I just love what I do. When you genuinely enjoy something, it’s way easier to keep finding new ways to approach it. Oh, and surrounding yourself with creative people is huge, it’s like their energy and ideas rub off on you, and it pushes you to level up.

Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?

I run a content series called what do you do for a living? (wdyd), where I ask musicians, artists, and creatives about their careers in the most casual, curious way possible. For me, it’s really about breaking down that wall and showing a side of people you don’t usually see online. That’s what I think makes it special… it’s real, raw, and gives people a moment to connect with someone they might look up to or be curious about.

Professionally, I’m all about creating moments that stick. Whether it’s a viral video, a collaboration, or helping an artist tell their story in a way that resonates, I love putting people on to good music and good people. Right now, I’m focused on expanding wdyd and building it into something even bigger.

Coming up, I’ve got some exciting collaborations with artists that are going to bring a whole new energy to the series. I’m also exploring new ways to bridge music and social media, so stay tuned for more experiments and maybe a few surprises along the way. My goal is to keep building a platform that connects people and adds value, whether you’re an artist, a fan, or someone just discovering their creative side.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?

Looking back, I’d say the three most impactful things for me were curiosity, consistency, and building genuine relationships.

Curiosity has been everything. Staying open to learning, asking questions, and trying new things is what keeps you growing. It’s easy to get stuck in a routine or think you know it all, but staying curious is what opens doors you didn’t even know existed.

Consistency is another big one. It doesn’t matter how talented or creative you are if you don’t show up every day and put in the work. For me, posting regularly, trying new ideas, and refining what works have been the backbone of everything I’ve built.

Finally, relationships have been key. You can’t do this alone. Surround yourself with people who inspire you and who you can learn from. Be intentional about the connections you make and focus on adding value to others, not just asking for something in return.

For anyone early in their journey, my advice is simple: stay curious, even when you feel like you’ve figured it out. Be consistent, even when it feels like no one’s paying attention. And invest in relationships because the people around you can change everything. Play the long game and keep showing up.

What do you do when you feel overwhelmed? Any advice or strategies?

When I feel overwhelmed, I take a step back and prioritize taking time for myself. I’ve learned that the law of diminishing returns is real, it can kill your creativity and the love you have for what you do if you keep pushing when you’re burnt out. When I start to feel that way, I remind myself that it’s okay to take a break.

Sometimes, that looks like going for a walk, doing some sort of workout, or even just disconnecting from everything for a bit. The key is to give yourself space to recharge so you can come back stronger and more focused.
