Meet Tynan Townsend

We recently connected with Tynan Townsend and have shared our conversation below.

Tynan, looking forward to learning from your journey. You’ve got an amazing story and before we dive into that, let’s start with an important building block. Where do you get your work ethic from?

Growing up I was raised by my mom and sister, being raised by both of them has taught me the true meaning of independence. Since I was young I’ve been doing lemonade stands, pop corn stands until I was 14 when I started working in the fast food industry. Growing up with my mom being both a mother and a father figure in a sense has gave me the strongest sense of independence and responsibility that has led to form my work ethic.

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

Even since I was a kid I loved entertaining people. Growing up I wanted to be a magician, actor, movie maker, comedian and many more. I’m glad to say now I’m entertaining people with “funny” content and I’m planning on trying out stand up comedy, dj’ing and possibly acting in the future. I plan on making a living for myself one way and entertaining people as my own persona purpose in life.

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?

Three of the most important skills for me that helped shaped and take me as far as I am today and that will continue my journey is Perseverance, Adaptability and Self awareness. Persevere through the hard, adapt to the new and improve with the present with self awareness.

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

Take a moment to recollect myself. The number one issue I found with being overwhelmed is that if I continue at the same rate I’m going It’ll always make it worse, always being self aware to stop and take a minute to calm down and analyze how I’m feeling and why I’m feeling that way really helps ground myself and put everything back into perspective.
