Breaking Bullying

In this episode of Breaking Bullying, Tim Flynn sits down with entrepreneur, speaker, and podcast host Tyler Uriah for a powerful conversation about a side of bullying that often goes unnoticed.Growing up with a father in prison and facing constant labels from adults, Tyler spent years believing he would never amount to anything. What he later realized was that some of the most damaging bullying in his life didn't come from other kids. It came from the adults around him.Together, Tim and Tyler discuss confidence, self-worth, overcoming adversity, finding community, and how small wins can change the direction of a person's life. Tyler also shares how hosting his former podcast, Bully This, helped him recognize the impact those experiences had on him and how they shaped the person he would become.If you've ever felt written off, underestimated, or labeled by others, this conversation is for you.Connect with Tyler Uriah:Instagram: @tyleruriahPodcast: Underdogs, Bootstrappers & Game ChangersConnect with Tim Flynn / Breaking Bullying:Website: https://breakingbullying.comYouTube: https://youtube.com/@breakingbullyingLearn more about Karate Chop Bullying:Website: https://karatechopbullying.orgContact the show at [email protected] you want to learn more or are subjected to either Bullying or Harassment, you can go to:Karatechopbullying.orgIf you are dealing with dark or suicidal thoughts call The National Suicide Hotline:Phone: 988Opening Theme: "The Beginning and the End" by GrahfClosing Theme: "Cute Melodies 11" by Soundtrack 4 Life
