Today's interview is unlike any podcast I've ever done in my life the last couple weeks. We've had, my brother-in-law who is Tara's brother Tyson, staying with us in our guest house and helping us do some repairs and some different things on our house before we sell it. And Tyson's a recovering alcoholic drug addict has been in and out of jail several times for the last few years.
For the past several years. He hasn't even been really a part of our life because we just didn't feel like it was safe with his different things he had going on in relationships. And we just had to totally distance ourself, even though we literally live in the same county, like we're the only family members who live right by each other, but we just couldn't be in contact with him.
Now he's living with us and we see him every day all the time. It's pretty wild how it happened. But anyway, he basically has like nothing, like no money, like starting over from scratch after everything that he is been through. So we've given him a job.
It's a labor job, but I've kind of been talking to him about goals and where he wants to go from here because we're not gonna be here for very long. And even getting paid the amount that he can get paid from a job like this just isn't going to be enough to take care of the needs that he has to be able to see his kids more often and pay child support.
And get back on his feet in the way that he would need just to live a good, normal, healthy life and pay off some debts and stuff. So as I've been talking to him, it just made me think of a lot of people out there. You know, I know this is Millionaire University and the goal is to become financially free and make millions of dollars, but we all start somewhere.
So I thought it might be kind of cool as I'm talking to Tyson and we're working together and working with him, and, you know, I can't take any of the credit when I believe when the student is ready, the teacher will appear and this guy is ready. He's humble, he's, he's a listener, but a lot of the things that I've been talking to him about I thought would be good for you guys to hear.
And I think there's a lot of good takeaways that you can take from the things that we've been talking about. So anyway, I, I asked him, I said, Hey, do you want me to interview you? And he's like, okay, sure. And I thought we would share like two to five minutes of his background just kind of show, Hey, Tyson's kind of hit rock bottom and we're gonna help him on his way.
But this interview just turned into so much more and I just let him talk and I listened. Of course I interjected from time to time, but I just listened. And at first I thought, oh, I like, this is Millionaire University. What does a story about someone who has hit rock bottom and struggled with drugs and alcohol and relationships and gone to prison?
Like, what does that have to do with. Making money in Millionaire University. So I thought about editing it down to like 20 minutes, but I, I just couldn't, I don't know, maybe it is just me cuz he's family, but I just have to believe that there's someone out there who has to hear his story. So I'm just gonna put it all out there.
