We recently connected with Tyler James and have shared our conversation below.

Tyler, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. What’s been the most meaningful project you’ve worked on?

This is going to sound silly, but the most meaningful project I’ve worked on is this journey of life and the pursuit of helping others through that journey. Like so many others out there, my journey has not been an easy one. I have been homeless multiple times, suffered immense heartbreak, and have been lost to the dark unable to see my way back. Sharing parts of that journey and what I’ve learned, sprinkled throughout my various channels of media, has helped and reached people in a way I never thought I would.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

My name is Tyler James and I create content on multiple platforms such as youtube, tiktok, and instagram. At first glance you will see content based around fitness and travel. I have modeled and dabbled in the art of acting. But if you look beyond the front page, you will begin to see there is more to the story. Some content is fun or silly, and other content connects on a deeper level. Fitness for example, you will find is a strong thread throughout my life. Not only do I enjoy the challenge it will forever provide, the challenge of pushing my body and mind beyond its limits, but the iron paradise was once my only home when I was living in my car. It was my only roof, my only shower, and my only source of clean water. So I will always have a special connection to it. My hope is that through conveying this aspect of my life it may help to inspire and motivate others. What I am most proud of is the impact I’ve had on the lives of those who have followed my journey. Reading the messages of how I’ve helped someone get through their day, brought a smile to their face, helped them get through something challenging, or that they didn’t give up and kept going because of something I said. I never thought I would have such a profound impact on anyone’s life… and for those I’ve helped, it is of what I am most proud.

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?

The short version of a long story: I’ve been homeless multiple times. I’ve had to ration 7 dollars a day for food. I’ve not know where I’m going shower. I’ve gone to war against the darkness. I’ve suffered heartbreak and betrayals of the heart. I’ve been rejected from thousands of auditions or castings. There have been times I’ve thought about giving up… giving up on my social media dreams. I have been beaten and broken in life more often than I’d like to admit. But I press on… and grow stronger each time.

What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?

My creative journey has evolved over the years. My goal is to reach and help as many I can. My creative journey is to explore life and what it means to be alive. Many people who have been with me and followed along on my social media… I want to give them strength and for them to know they are not alone in their struggles.
