CHOOSE YOURSELF WITH TY PAIGE

Howard Brown: 00:00:03

Hello. It's Howard Brown. It's the Shining Brightly

Howard Brown: 00:00:06

Show. Oh my god, I have been waiting to have time masters as

Howard Brown: 00:00:12

my guest. How are you this morning, I'm

Ty Paige: 00:00:14

good. How are you?

Howard Brown: 00:00:16

I'm good. Oh my god. We have been friends for a

Howard Brown: 00:00:19

long time. We've been following each other and supporting each

Howard Brown: 00:00:22

other, and I just You make me so proud. You're so creative, your

Howard Brown: 00:00:28

perseverance is second to none, and you are just such a go

Howard Brown: 00:00:31

getter and brilliant. And I'm so thrilled we can chat it up

Howard Brown: 00:00:34

today. So but at first I'd like to do is just maybe share a

Howard Brown: 00:00:37

little bit of your bio. Tell people who you are,

Ty Paige: 00:00:40

sure. Sure. So I am a creative person to my core. I

Ty Paige: 00:00:46

wrote my first commercial when I was seven years old. I had a

Ty Paige: 00:00:49

newspaper column of my very own at nine, I was Gosh. I had my

Ty Paige: 00:00:54

very first job as a graphic designer in 1996 for a newspaper

Ty Paige: 00:01:01

and made five bucks an hour just scanning in photos and editing

Ty Paige: 00:01:05

them. And I think we're talking like Photoshop 2.0 which ages me

Ty Paige: 00:01:09

a bit. That's okay. I just have always been a creative person,

Ty Paige: 00:01:13

and so now at 28, years later, I have really evolved into a what

Ty Paige: 00:01:20

I like to call sort of the inappropriate copywriter. So I

Ty Paige: 00:01:23

can write things that I like to write, creative things that

Ty Paige: 00:01:27

really grab people's attention. And, you know, marketing,

Ty Paige: 00:01:30

advertising, branding, that's just sort of who I am. But at

Ty Paige: 00:01:35

the base of it all, I'm a writer. So that's a little bit

Ty Paige: 00:01:39

about my background,

Howard Brown: 00:01:42

actually. Like to add that you're a creative

Howard Brown: 00:01:44

genius, so because I've seen your work, and I've worked with

Howard Brown: 00:01:47

you, and we've done projects together, so All right, so in

Howard Brown: 00:01:50

alliance, in accordance with the show here, how, how are you

Howard Brown: 00:01:54

shining brightly each day? So

Ty Paige: 00:01:57

shining brightly has been a little bit of a challenge

Ty Paige: 00:02:00

in the last few years, but I try to spend my days thinking

Ty Paige: 00:02:07

through some of the ups and downs of life, and making sure

Ty Paige: 00:02:11

that I learn from the lessons of the downs and the ups, and

Ty Paige: 00:02:18

sharing those lessons with the world, however, I possibly can,

Ty Paige: 00:02:22

whether that's writing things down and evolving those, those

Ty Paige: 00:02:26

new things, into something that can share on my social media,

Ty Paige: 00:02:29

writing books, you know, just expressing my creativity for a

Ty Paige: 00:02:33

client or for a brand that's trying to grow their business.

Ty Paige: 00:02:39

That's, that's kind of how I that's how I try to shine

Ty Paige: 00:02:42

brightly every day.

Howard Brown: 00:02:44

And I can tell, because I see your social posts,

Howard Brown: 00:02:47

and sometimes you are just pushing the envelope a little

Howard Brown: 00:02:51

bit. You're challenging people's status quo. And you know what? I

Howard Brown: 00:02:55

love it. It's great. And most of all, you're actually growing

Howard Brown: 00:02:59

yourself so you can actually help others. And that's, that's

Howard Brown: 00:03:03

what I see, and that's, that's the beauty of your shining

Howard Brown: 00:03:06

brightly as well. So you shared a little bio, but you know what?

Howard Brown: 00:03:10

You didn't have it easy growing up. So if you'd like to share a

Howard Brown: 00:03:13

little bit about your growing up story, and you know, you've been

Howard Brown: 00:03:16

through a lot, and tell us just, you know a little bit about

Howard Brown: 00:03:20

that, sure.

Ty Paige: 00:03:24

Wow, I could start before I was ever even born. My

Ty Paige: 00:03:31

biological parents were not in a very good place when I was

Ty Paige: 00:03:36

conceived, and so my mom had decided that the best I the best

Ty Paige: 00:03:43

option for her, was to have an abortion. And I'm not going to

Ty Paige: 00:03:48

get into the details on that, but it's a fateful story,

Ty Paige: 00:03:51

though. It is interesting how she drove to Michigan to have

Ty Paige: 00:03:55

that abortion, and I ended up living here because she was in

Ty Paige: 00:03:58

West Virginia at the time, so it's kind of strange that I

Ty Paige: 00:04:01

ended up living in Michigan and calling Detroit home when she

Ty Paige: 00:04:04

literally drove to Allen Park from Huntington, West Virginia

Ty Paige: 00:04:08

to have an abortion on me. Long story short, didn't work. I'm

Ty Paige: 00:04:11

here, and she calls me her miracle now. But that you know,

Ty Paige: 00:04:16

finding that out was definitely it was an interesting I had to

Ty Paige: 00:04:21

really think that through, you know, it was a it was a lot for

Ty Paige: 00:04:25

a teenager to learn that, you know, her mom didn't really want

Ty Paige: 00:04:28

her, but I understand the circumstances. So there's that.

Ty Paige: 00:04:32

And then, you know, as a child, my parents got divorced when I

Ty Paige: 00:04:35

was very young, he was abusive. My biological father was then

Ty Paige: 00:04:39

she moved on to someone else who was also abusive in all forms,

Ty Paige: 00:04:43

from emotional, verbal, physical and sexual. When my family and

Ty Paige: 00:04:50

I, my mom and my sister and I were nine, we escaped him and

Ty Paige: 00:04:53

moved to Carolina from West Virginia. That was a midnight

Ty Paige: 00:04:59

move. We couldn't. Tell anyone where we were. It was very scary

Ty Paige: 00:05:02

for me at 910, years old, starting over in life, I was

Ty Paige: 00:05:06

then bullied through middle school for getting, gosh, to me

Ty Paige: 00:05:09

more, had the cutest haircut in Ghost and so I wanted to have my

Ty Paige: 00:05:13

hair cut just like hers. I got bullied and tortured every

Ty Paige: 00:05:17

single day for an entire year for having this, like short what

Ty Paige: 00:05:20

I thought was cute haircut, that was a struggle just being a

Ty Paige: 00:05:23

teenager and trying to thrive with my creativity. And you

Ty Paige: 00:05:29

know, in school, being bullied is never fun. And then, you

Ty Paige: 00:05:33

know, I met a man when I was in my late teens, and he was the

Ty Paige: 00:05:37

love of my life. He moved me here to Michigan, and so

Ty Paige: 00:05:40

fortunate, I was able to call Michigan home at that point

Ty Paige: 00:05:43

forward, um, unfortunately, that didn't work out. But then I met

Ty Paige: 00:05:47

someone else who I did marry, um, who, excuse me, who kind of

Ty Paige: 00:05:59

drugged me. Nope, we gotta cut that out. He, I met, I met

Ty Paige: 00:06:04

someone else in 2016 who loved bombed me and was quite the

Ty Paige: 00:06:09

narcissist. You know, the relationship lasted about three

Ty Paige: 00:06:13

and a half four years, and I had to really go back and start

Ty Paige: 00:06:17

questioning some of the decisions I was making in terms

Ty Paige: 00:06:20

of my relationships, because of the childhood trauma that I

Ty Paige: 00:06:23

experienced, and although I felt like I was very strong and

Ty Paige: 00:06:27

smart, I was making some pretty poor decisions with whom I

Ty Paige: 00:06:33

allowed to enter into my life intimately. And so I have now

Ty Paige: 00:06:38

spent the last five years single on purpose, and choosing myself

Ty Paige: 00:06:43

instead of anyone, anyone else. So that's kind of

Howard Brown: 00:06:49

through a lot. You've really been through a

Howard Brown: 00:06:51

lot. You have a ton of resilience. Some of the best

Howard Brown: 00:06:54

things that I love is that when you chose yourself right, you

Howard Brown: 00:06:58

went on these trips, you actually went to what, three or

Howard Brown: 00:07:02

four or five different trips like Europe, and you just came

Howard Brown: 00:07:05

back from what, from Germany. I mean, I love that, because you

Howard Brown: 00:07:10

had the confidence to travel and meet and explore different

Howard Brown: 00:07:14

cultures and foods. And I actually think that was your

Howard Brown: 00:07:18

expression and your freedom. And I just was following you along

Howard Brown: 00:07:23

all your breadcrumbs of where you were going. I

Ty Paige: 00:07:26

know it's so funny when I think back to how you

Ty Paige: 00:07:30

know, in my previous relationships, if I wanted to go

Ty Paige: 00:07:33

somewhere and they couldn't afford it, or they were, you

Ty Paige: 00:07:39

know, unsure I would do anything and everything in my power to

Ty Paige: 00:07:44

make sure that they could go with me, so that I so that I

Ty Paige: 00:07:47

wouldn't have to go alone. I was so dependent on having someone

Ty Paige: 00:07:51

by my side that I would pay for them to go, or I would, you

Ty Paige: 00:07:57

know, convince them, or just Yeah, and now I know if you

Ty Paige: 00:08:03

can't go, I'll go by myself, because I have taught myself

Ty Paige: 00:08:07

that solo experiences are so gratifying and just insanely

Ty Paige: 00:08:13

awesome. I love, I love going places by myself. Now it's

Ty Paige: 00:08:16

scary. I may not ever want to go anywhere with someone again.

Howard Brown: 00:08:21

We'll see. I want to tell you that because I've

Howard Brown: 00:08:25

been, you know, when you had your creative agency, I got to

Howard Brown: 00:08:28

see you on display, and you know, you had teams, and you did

Howard Brown: 00:08:32

so much great work. And I have to tell you, that's when I first

Howard Brown: 00:08:35

met you. I was so impressed your confidence and actually be able

Howard Brown: 00:08:41

to lead teams and be able to really get very sophisticated

Howard Brown: 00:08:47

creative projects done. So I that was my first introduction

Howard Brown: 00:08:51

to you, and I was like, Who is this whirlwind? Okay, who is

Howard Brown: 00:08:56

this creative that just really just brings it. And I've seen

Howard Brown: 00:09:00

you present to, you, know, to corporate boardrooms and

Howard Brown: 00:09:03

executives, and then to deliver that creativity. So that was my

Howard Brown: 00:09:08

first impression of you. So I had no idea. I learned over time

Howard Brown: 00:09:11

some of the hardship that you've been through and some of the

Howard Brown: 00:09:14

true resilience that you had to display and things like that as

Howard Brown: 00:09:17

well. But I do, I want to just touch, and I know this is

Howard Brown: 00:09:21

somewhat a little bit painful, but you met, and I don't know if

Howard Brown: 00:09:26

this is from your father or just judgment for such an intelligent

Howard Brown: 00:09:30

girl, you met a couple guys there that just trashed you. And

Howard Brown: 00:09:33

I felt sad when I was part of you and confidant for you and

Howard Brown: 00:09:38

listening to you, I was really sad, and I was trying to give

Howard Brown: 00:09:43

you good advice, but I think you had to kind of go through it. So

Howard Brown: 00:09:46

we want to touch upon that a little bit, the gas lighting,

Howard Brown: 00:09:49

the cheating, the abuse.

Ty Paige: 00:09:52

Yeah, it's really simple. Honestly, when I wrote

Ty Paige: 00:09:56

my book, I had to associate. Appreciate myself with that

Ty Paige: 00:10:01

little girl, because that's something that I had never done

Ty Paige: 00:10:03

before. I always looked at that little girl that went through

Ty Paige: 00:10:07

all that crap and said, That's not me. I know who that little

Ty Paige: 00:10:12

girl grows up to be, and that's not me, because I had found a

Ty Paige: 00:10:16

lot of success for myself and being smart and intuitive and

Ty Paige: 00:10:21

just very optimistic. I didn't want to associate with that

Ty Paige: 00:10:26

little girl, but then when I wrote my book, I kind of had to,

Ty Paige: 00:10:29

and it made me realize I had false beliefs of love all this

Ty Paige: 00:10:37

time because the people that were hurting me the most when I

Ty Paige: 00:10:41

was a little girl, were telling me that they loved me. So then,

Ty Paige: 00:10:45

as an adult, although I am very smart and I'm not, you know, I'm

Ty Paige: 00:10:49

not going to let somebody beat me or, you know, there are the

Ty Paige: 00:10:54

obvious types of abuse, but then there are these subtle ones that

Ty Paige: 00:10:57

I didn't know much about. I gotta be honest, I didn't even

Ty Paige: 00:11:00

know what a narcissist was, until about three or four months

Ty Paige: 00:11:04

after my marriage, I started Googling some of the things that

Ty Paige: 00:11:09

were happening, and that word kept popping up, and then I

Ty Paige: 00:11:13

thought, Oh, bad word. I think I married a narcissist and the gas

Ty Paige: 00:11:20

lighting didn't know what that was. Either he taught me a lot,

Ty Paige: 00:11:24

you know, I mean, am I Do I regret the marriage or the the

Ty Paige: 00:11:30

the courtship and everything? I can't really say that I regret

Ty Paige: 00:11:33

it, because, although he never put his hands on me, there are

Ty Paige: 00:11:36

subtle there are more subtle forms of abuse that were present

Ty Paige: 00:11:40

in that I don't wish him ill will. I hope he's fine and

Ty Paige: 00:11:44

great, and I hope that he has changed and learned and grown

Ty Paige: 00:11:49

from the experience of being married to me, because he did

Ty Paige: 00:11:52

not treat me very well. It was like he wanted to look married,

Ty Paige: 00:11:56

but act single, and I was just living under these false beliefs

Ty Paige: 00:12:02

of love, because that's what I learned as a little girl. Oh,

Ty Paige: 00:12:06

you know what, I love you, but I'm going to hurt you. And so I

Ty Paige: 00:12:09

thought, well, these things, you know, they're, they're

Ty Paige: 00:12:12

reminiscent of what I was taught. So I had to really dig

Ty Paige: 00:12:15

deep and challenge those false beliefs of love and create a new

Ty Paige: 00:12:19

system for myself in my mind, like, what is my belief in this

Ty Paige: 00:12:22

moment, and what is the action that I'm going to take based on

Ty Paige: 00:12:26

that belief? And then what can I do to challenge it? Because it's

Ty Paige: 00:12:29

obviously not the right action or possibly the right belief, so

Ty Paige: 00:12:35

and then, of course, there was Brockman, I can say his name

Ty Paige: 00:12:39

now, who was physically abusive to me and a liar and I mean all

Ty Paige: 00:12:45

the he psych, psycho. I mean, that's all I can say.

Ty Paige: 00:12:50

Fortunately, that was a very short relationship a few months.

Ty Paige: 00:12:54

I'm not going to stand for that. I feel bad for some of the other

Ty Paige: 00:12:57

women who were with him for much longer, believing that he would

Ty Paige: 00:13:01

change and wanting that fairy tale love to come out with the

Ty Paige: 00:13:05

you know, within him that'll never happen. He is an abusive

Ty Paige: 00:13:09

monster. The Courtship was four or five months with me. The

Ty Paige: 00:13:13

first time I saw it, I planned my exit. I got out, but he still

Ty Paige: 00:13:17

came back and he just, you know, I pressed charges against him.

Ty Paige: 00:13:22

Unfortunately, he's not in jail, which is where he belongs, but

Ty Paige: 00:13:27

that was the final straw for me. I'm like, That's it. I'm

Ty Paige: 00:13:30

literally taking the time. I took a year off in between the

Ty Paige: 00:13:33

divorce and and Brett. Five months later, I, since March of

Ty Paige: 00:13:40

2021, I have not dated, been in a relationship nothing I've been

Ty Paige: 00:13:44

focused on me challenging those false beliefs of love and

Ty Paige: 00:13:48

getting myself back on track to love myself and heal and grow

Ty Paige: 00:13:52

personally so that I can make healthy decisions in my next

Ty Paige: 00:13:57

relationship.

Howard Brown: 00:14:00

I want to tell you how proud I am for you. So in my

Howard Brown: 00:14:02

book, I I relate darkness to that what you've just been

Howard Brown: 00:14:05

through. I've been through darkness, through cancer and

Howard Brown: 00:14:08

other things that people have been through, trafficking, and

Howard Brown: 00:14:10

the bad stuff is darkness. And you can't stay there too long,

Howard Brown: 00:14:14

okay, because other Malays happen. So some people drink too

Howard Brown: 00:14:17

much, some people start to drugs. They they become abusive,

Howard Brown: 00:14:21

and so I'm so proud of the progression that you've made to

Howard Brown: 00:14:26

focus inward, focus on yourself and come out of this learning

Howard Brown: 00:14:33

and making better choices and shining. And that's that's

Howard Brown: 00:14:36

mostly I'm proud about. But here's one of the things that I

Howard Brown: 00:14:39

have to ask because how you are such a powerhouse creative and a

Howard Brown: 00:14:44

writer, you cranked out three amazing bestseller books, and

Howard Brown: 00:14:50

like, I think a day or two, I know it was more than that, but

Howard Brown: 00:14:53

please talk. Tell me about the books. Tell me about what they

Howard Brown: 00:14:56

meant to you. Share just a tease, because I want people to

Howard Brown: 00:14:59

buy. Your books. And, you know, I came to your book launches,

Howard Brown: 00:15:03

and I don't know how you do it. It's incredible talent that you

Howard Brown: 00:15:09

can write this well, and then it's great. So let's talk about

Howard Brown: 00:15:13

the books.

Ty Paige: 00:15:14

Sure. So the first book I wrote was the memoir of

Ty Paige: 00:15:19

overcoming all these challenges. And, you know, choosing myself.

Ty Paige: 00:15:24

It's literally like, stop choosing the wrong people and

Ty Paige: 00:15:26

start choosing yourself. So that was the premise of my first

Ty Paige: 00:15:30

book, and it's non fiction. It's helping 1000s of people all over

Ty Paige: 00:15:35

the world heal and grow challenge their own false

Ty Paige: 00:15:39

beliefs. And, you know, start traveling the world by

Ty Paige: 00:15:43

themselves and take those steps of, you know, a step into the

Ty Paige: 00:15:48

unknown, if you will, because it's very uncomfortable. And so

Ty Paige: 00:15:52

that book is called f you watch this, and I wrote and published

Ty Paige: 00:15:58

that in three weeks. Well, okay, I didn't publish it in three

Ty Paige: 00:16:02

weeks. I wrote it in three weeks. It then went through

Ty Paige: 00:16:07

editing and whatnot, but I it was the most exciting thing I've

Ty Paige: 00:16:13

ever done in my life. Honestly, I have to

Howard Brown: 00:16:16

tell you, the title is so provocative, it's

Howard Brown: 00:16:19

amazing. I'm gonna people have to go and find you on Amazon or

Howard Brown: 00:16:22

contact you directly to your website and be able to get it

Howard Brown: 00:16:26

incredible. I have to tell you that I just looked and you have

Howard Brown: 00:16:30

1000s of reviews that you've helped so many people. Okay,

Howard Brown: 00:16:36

you've really done that and that I'm so proud of you because you

Howard Brown: 00:16:40

took your crap experience your learning and how you healed, and

Howard Brown: 00:16:46

you've given people a pathway forward, and you should be

Howard Brown: 00:16:49

That's how you're shining brightly. It's beautiful. So so

Howard Brown: 00:16:53

then you went and decided to write another book. I

Ty Paige: 00:16:56

did. I just my imagination is constantly firing

Ty Paige: 00:17:01

on all the cylinders, all of them constant. If you saw my

Ty Paige: 00:17:06

notes app on my phone, you know nobody could ever figure out

Ty Paige: 00:17:12

what is going on in my head. So I after writing and publishing

Ty Paige: 00:17:17

my first book, I loved it so much, and it felt so rewarding

Ty Paige: 00:17:21

to hold my own book in my hand. I was crying. It was just the

Ty Paige: 00:17:24

best day ever. And And while the next two books that I've written

Ty Paige: 00:17:29

are fiction, I do draw some from my own experiences. There's

Ty Paige: 00:17:35

inspiration from my own experiences injected throughout

Ty Paige: 00:17:38

these fiction books. But I just, you know, I had to do it. So I

Ty Paige: 00:17:44

wrote two fiction books. The first one is called the wrong

Ty Paige: 00:17:48

secret, and it is just, you know, I had this idea in my head

Ty Paige: 00:17:54

thinking, I wonder what would happen if you know a best

Ty Paige: 00:17:58

selling author and an up and coming actress somehow got

Ty Paige: 00:18:04

together. But what drove them to get together? Ooh, maybe there's

Ty Paige: 00:18:07

a secret. Maybe there's a black mail mission. Okay, that's how

Ty Paige: 00:18:11

that one kind of came to play. And it's got twists and turns

Ty Paige: 00:18:14

that you would never see coming like and the ending is just

Ty Paige: 00:18:19

what. It's definitely a mind blowing, sort of psychological

Ty Paige: 00:18:24

there's a little bit of smut warning people ahead of time.

Ty Paige: 00:18:26

Some people don't like that, but little bit. So there's that one,

Ty Paige: 00:18:30

and then that one inspired me to write another one. And the third

Ty Paige: 00:18:37

book that I have is called with one eye open. It is the

Ty Paige: 00:18:41

manuscript from the wrong secret. Now you don't have to

Ty Paige: 00:18:46

read one in order to read the other. They're not connected in

Ty Paige: 00:18:50

any way except the manuscript that's in question for the wrong

Ty Paige: 00:18:56

secret. I thought it would be really neat to just publish a

Ty Paige: 00:19:00

book and title it the same as the manuscript from the wrong

Ty Paige: 00:19:04

secret, and so, with one eye open, follows a young girl who

Ty Paige: 00:19:11

has tragically died, and the detective worked behind it. So

Ty Paige: 00:19:16

it's sort of a crime thriller novel with a really good, heart

Ty Paige: 00:19:20

wrenching ending that you will not see coming. I'm writing

Ty Paige: 00:19:27

right now. I don't know. I

Howard Brown: 00:19:29

know you probably. I was gonna say, How many more

Howard Brown: 00:19:31

books do you have going on at once? But no, they're very

Howard Brown: 00:19:34

entertaining. Their page turning you keeps you guessing. You're

Howard Brown: 00:19:38

trying to piece it together, take and you want to get to the

Howard Brown: 00:19:40

end. I love I love them all. It's really amazing. And that's

Howard Brown: 00:19:45

such so creative. As far as you wrote, you know, kind of this

Howard Brown: 00:19:50

memoir, a little bit the f you watch this, but that it just

Howard Brown: 00:19:56

sees how your brain works and things like that. And I, I want

Howard Brown: 00:19:59

to. Tell you that people, people need to bring you in to book,

Howard Brown: 00:20:04

sign, to speak, this actual book. That's really funny. If

Howard Brown: 00:20:09

you watch this. I actually got more out of it. As a man. I got

Howard Brown: 00:20:14

lessons learned about how actually what not to do, yep,

Howard Brown: 00:20:19

and reflect on how I actually can, you know, be masculine, be

Howard Brown: 00:20:25

a gentleman, okay, not be an a hole. So I that's, that was my

Howard Brown: 00:20:30

takeaway from it. So it was really great, and I appreciate

Howard Brown: 00:20:34

that

Ty Paige: 00:20:34

either I've had a lot of men right, who said the same

Ty Paige: 00:20:37

thing, like, wow, I've actually really learned about how we need

Ty Paige: 00:20:42

to be a little, you know, just be nicer to women and really

Ty Paige: 00:20:45

watch what you say, watch what you do. You know, we've a lot of

Ty Paige: 00:20:49

women have been through a lot, yeah, in their lives, and I

Ty Paige: 00:20:53

think it's important for men to not take it, so I'm trying to

Ty Paige: 00:20:58

think of the right word. There's, you know, women, and

Ty Paige: 00:21:01

it's not just women men too. Like men have been through a lot

Ty Paige: 00:21:04

like we just need to be kinder and really be a little more

Ty Paige: 00:21:08

aware of how we're treating other people and what is our

Ty Paige: 00:21:12

motive behind why we treat someone the way we treat them.

Ty Paige: 00:21:16

It's really something to think about.

Howard Brown: 00:21:18

Yeah, so in the first chapter of shining

Howard Brown: 00:21:20

brightly. My 100 year old great grandmother said very simply,

Howard Brown: 00:21:28

you have the ability every morning to choose kindness, to

Howard Brown: 00:21:31

choose giving, to choose healing, to choose gratitude, to

Howard Brown: 00:21:34

choose joy, to choose not to hate. Am I going to add this for

Howard Brown: 00:21:36

us not to choose to be an a hole? So you have the power in

Howard Brown: 00:21:40

you. We all do, right? We have the power to do that. So it's,

Howard Brown: 00:21:45

it's really quite amazing. And so that's the thing that I think

Howard Brown: 00:21:49

that we need to get you on stages and and me to be able to

Howard Brown: 00:21:54

teach people, help people move forward. And I know you're

Howard Brown: 00:21:57

continue to do that. And four books in the you know you're

Howard Brown: 00:22:00

working on is absolutely incredible. So this is the part

Howard Brown: 00:22:03

of the show. Ty I'm gonna ask you to put on your sunglasses,

Howard Brown: 00:22:06

okay? Because we are going to shine our light around the world

Howard Brown: 00:22:10

and to each other, right? Put them on, woo hoo, right? And I

Howard Brown: 00:22:15

want people to tell them how best to get a hold of you. And

Howard Brown: 00:22:20

if you have, we're going to end the show with some inspiration.

Howard Brown: 00:22:23

I want you to give me a quote, or give me a lesson learned, and

Howard Brown: 00:22:27

and then we're going to kick that. You'll kick the show up,

Howard Brown: 00:22:29

back to me. Close.

Ty Paige: 00:22:36

It froze. Sorry. So,

Howard Brown: 00:22:38

so, so the first thing is to tell me how to get a

Howard Brown: 00:22:41

hold of you. The best way to get a hold of you,

Ty Paige: 00:22:44

sure. So all of my social media handles are the

Ty Paige: 00:22:46

same. It's Tyler page, t y L, A R P, A, I G E. My books are

Ty Paige: 00:22:54

Ty Paige: 00:22:59

Tyler page, T Y, l, a, r, p, a, i, G, E,

Howard Brown: 00:23:08

Howard Brown: 00:23:15

and you produce just excellent results. And I just want people

Howard Brown: 00:23:20

Howard Brown: 00:23:25

doing in this greatest space in the world of writing and to make

Howard Brown: 00:23:28

you stand out. Make your brand stand out. Make your and you and

Howard Brown: 00:23:32

you love doing it and and you're clearly really good at it. So

Howard Brown: 00:23:37

kick off an inspirational quote, an inspirational quick story.

Howard Brown: 00:23:41

Tell Tell me something inspirational so we can shine

Howard Brown: 00:23:44

brightly with the world. Okay,

Ty Paige: 00:23:46

my my favorite quote is something that I said back

Ty Paige: 00:23:51

when I was 17 living in my car. I just said, I'm not going to

Ty Paige: 00:23:56

let my past or my present define my future. I feel like that's

Ty Paige: 00:24:01

probably been said by other people in this life, but it

Ty Paige: 00:24:05

really hits home. If you just you know, whatever you've been

Ty Paige: 00:24:08

through, or whatever you're going through, don't let it

Ty Paige: 00:24:11

define your future.

Howard Brown: 00:24:14

It's it's beautiful. And as I say many

Howard Brown: 00:24:17

times in my book and on all my podcast, is that we we we all

Howard Brown: 00:24:24

get knocked out in life and in business and in health and in

Howard Brown: 00:24:29

relationships, and we have to get back up again. And how we do

Howard Brown: 00:24:34

that is allowing people to share their light with us, to rekindle

Howard Brown: 00:24:38

our flame, and then we go help others, and You are the epitome

Howard Brown: 00:24:43

and the example of that. I'm so proud to call you a close, dear
