How chasing money and expectations led to a dead end AND then an intentional life
Imagine putting it all on the line for what you want to do, and not being stuck in what you think you “have to” do. In this episode we sit down with a man who has completely reinvented his life after nearly 12 years of an established career, and eventually realizing that he was unknowingly pursuing a version of success that wasn’t his at all. He’s a husband, a modern father, a recovering accountant, and now…a firefighter! Tyler Selikson is a dear friend of nearly 25 years, and someone who truly embodies what it means to reimagine and redesign a lifestyle.
From years in the restaurant industry to public accounting to a courageous public servant, Tyler openly shares his story of transformation from choosing a college major based on expectations, his early career years of aimlessly chasing money by grasping every opportunity that came his way, and how his whole life was turned upside down which forced him to pause and get intentional.
Tyler openly shares his reflections of the amazing changes he's made in order to live authentically through his values, embracing modern fatherhood, and now getting to spend his time doing exactly what he loves to do each day.
"In looking back now, that’s how I knew I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. Because I was grasping every opportunity that was coming at me, constantly changing, going down this path or that, but I knew I wasn’t happy with what I was doing. Where am I going to go that gives me an opportunity to love what I do, because I didn’t love what I did.”
