“The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places.” – Ernest Hemingway
In this episode, Logan sits down with his co-host and brother, Tyson, to finally tell the story behind the man listeners think they already know. Tyson opens up about the defining struggles that shaped him — the moments that nearly broke him, the pressure of being a husband and father to six kids, and the internal battles that taught him how to rebuild from the inside out.
He shares the lessons he learned the hard way, the turning points that forced him to grow, and the real why behind every decision he makes today. From juggling family life to launching Copper Johns, Tyson reveals how a brand became more than a business — it became a mission to create something meaningful, rooted in integrity, resilience, and purpose.
This is Tyson at his most raw and honest. A story about owning your past, fighting for your future, and choosing every day to become the kind of man your family deserves. It’s reflective, inspiring, and a reminder that the parts of us that almost break are often the very parts that make us who we are.
