Tyler was hired to stage the rodeo scenes in the Glen Powell blockbuster hit, Twisters, bringing his management experience to the big screen. Tyler’s story is proof you don’t need a ranch upbringing to make it in the Western world - just grit, humility, and relentless work. He and Tarek break down the mindset behind his rise, the transition from athlete to entrepreneur, and how he’s honoring tradition while building his own legacy in rodeo.
