His Father Told Him “You’ll Never Amount to Anything” — He Proved Him Wrong | Tyler Noyes

His Father Told Him “You’ll Never Amount to Anything” — He Proved Him Wrong | Tyler Noyes

Tyler Noyes joins Michael Chernow for a raw conversation about childhood trauma, entrepreneurship, burnout, breathwork, success, and rebuilding your life. Tyler opens up about being told by his father at seven years old that he would “never amount to anything,” and how that pain became fuel for decades of achievement. He also shares the terrifying reality of building Kalahari Biltong, losing expected funding during COVID, carrying a $500,000 personally guaranteed line of credit, and searching for personal bankruptcy before eventually finding a way out. Tyler and Michael explore why buried trauma eventually catches up with high performers, how breathwork helped Tyler finally process his past, and why success should be about building a meaningful life—not just accumulating money. Now approaching 40, Tyler is intentionally rebuilding his life around health, relationships, adventure, purpose, and one powerful reminder: this isn’t a dress rehearsal.
