Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Tyler Grimes. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Tyler, appreciate you joining us today. What was it like going from idea to execution? Can you share some of the backstory and some of the major steps or milestones?

Launch day for me was February 25th, 2021, as I recall. I was working as a ski instructor up at Crested Butte. I left Denver the year prior after switching jobs, moving to the city, then being thrown amuck by Covid-19. It was a tumultuous time, so I got out of Denver. That night I was at the Talk of the Town in Crested Butte having a normal, decent evening in when I was physically violated. My memory was that it was clearly a set up. Before I knew it I was talking to friends in the Kansas City area (and Tom Brady [which probably was a ploy]), then folks in Denver, some locally in CB and others. I got called out for my lifestyle choices. We had a pretty deep conversation about the topic of rape, which was relevant because I had been penetrated in the butt through my clothes by another’s finger.

Long story short, it was set up like it was all my thoughts, though I was communicating with others. Very frustrating.

It led me to planning on where to go from there. Briefly, I was a “head” receiving “cuts” and “folds”. I believe we were proving telepathy and prophecy, which I have done before. One thing, for example, I was confronted with having intel about the pending situation in Ukraine, which necessitated my going to Washington, DC, to give an in-person warning about this type of communication. It is very disorienting, and leaves you wondering what exactly happened.

Did it happen?

I did take that trip in December. I got my claims adjusters license in Houston. I had a very strange night in downtown Houston. Then I explored the eco-disaster in New Orleans. Headed south through Florida. I believe I got worked too much. I was a shepherd, a shadow and safe all at once. I felt like a POW. I did have a nice time in the Keys afterward.

I sped up to Washington, DC, where I spoke to the FBI and the Secret Service. I also visited the monuments. Returning through the Kansas City region I got so messed up I was awake for days and drove to South Dakota by mistake. Probably because of cyberattacks, which were in the news at the time. A bunch of stuff happened. LIke what I was working on had an unraveling affect.

One of the things I learned is that you actually have to do a lot of work you don’t expect to do when you’re trying to get yourself going. I can also appreciate that in some ways it does not matter what happened because I have everything I need to succeed: a pedicab career, insurance opportunity, and working toward carbon offsets in Kenya. It will take my masters project at Western Colorado University as a model to be replicated. Additionally, I volunteered with Conejos Clean Water in the San Luis Valley and was able to do introduce carbon offsetting there. I was also able to do some research on carbon offsetting in Colorado for the Sustainable Development Strategies Group in Gunnison.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers

I went to Kenya on a missions trip a couple years after high school. I started pedicabbing while studying Convergence Journalism and Political Science at MSU Denver. That led to learning about climate change and wanting to dig deeper. I gained some writing experience with local publications and covered travel, climate, land management and small business. I went back to Kenya in 2015 and 2016 for my Master in Environmental Management project at Western. In 2019 I worked as an insurance agent at Country Financial for one year picking up invaluable experience.

The bigger goal is a climate-based market solution. It’s defined in the Kyoto Protocol under the UNFCCC requiring emitters to pay to offset their carbon footprint. Some of which is invested in developing markets such as with B Corp Eco2librium in Western Kenya, which is reducing and eliminating fuel wood from Kakamega forest. They also have a carbon neutral solution in place. It is a huge market.

My brand is Resolute Sustainability. It’s a three-tiered approach: 1) pedicabs, which are cleaner transportation in downtown Denver; 2) insurance claims adjusting in response to natural disasters; and 3) carbon offsets, mostly working with Eco2librium to expand their work in Western Kenya.

How about pivoting – can you share the story of a time you’ve had to pivot?

Resolute is all about pivot. I stay busy with office work and have the opportunity to pedicab most evenings. I gained some experience adjusting claims after Hurricane Ian last fall, and continue to build on that. My goal is to get to Kenya by next February, which is a legit investment. I have dreams for it to take off, and just offset carbon. As far as I know, you always have to pivot between your job and your big goal.

Can you open up about how you funded your business?

This a bare bones project. It’s self-funded for now. I know it is very unique, however, I hope to find partners who can appreciate the objective.
