  • Tyler

    Tyler has been a successful business leader in healthcare and media for over two decades, but his most important education began in 2010 when his daughter's near-drowning transformed his understanding of strength, meaning, and what it takes to be fully human.

    As a senior executive at companies like Optum and Fox Entertainment Group, Tyler thought he understood resilience and leadership. As a father learning to navigate life with a severely disabled child, he discovered he knew nothing about either. This humbling led him to retrain as an executive coach and workshop facilitator, focusing on authentic transformation in addition to performance optimization.

    Tyler's work with the Center for Courage and Renewal and his upcoming doctoral studies in psychology reflect his commitment to understanding how communities can better support individuals through life's inevitable challenges. His writing and speaking draw from both professional expertise and lived experience, offering perspectives that are both grounded and transcendent.

    Tyler launched his media platform, Goodpain Company in 2025. Goodpain is an invitation to reclaim the space for honest, candid conversations about our shared struggles, about not knowing, about the wisdom found simply in enduring. Like the ancient tribes, gathering around a fire to share hard-won wisdom, Goodpain facilitates conversations about life's true intensities: the raw realities of parenting, the relentless demands of careers, the shattering impact of tragedy, the quiet burden of pain, and the unexpected moments of joy that flicker in between. 

    Tyler and his wife Tiffany live in Colorado with their three daughters: Autumn, Heidi, and Claire. As full-time caregivers to Claire, they have become unexpected experts in finding joy in constraints and meaning in the unplanned life. When not managing medical appointments and adaptive equipment, they pursue fine furniture woodworking, photography, and ceramics—creative practices that have taught them patience, precision, and the beauty of working with materials that have their own will.

  • Mandy

    Mandy is a licensed therapist and the founder of Slow Down with Mandy. Her work focuses on helping individuals reconnect with their true selves through themes of Internal Family Systems (IFS), addiction recovery, parts work, and intuition. She is also a person in recovery.

    Her approach is rooted in the belief that life is a journey we’re all walking together—a chance to slow down, reconnect, and discover the wisdom within.
