Beard Talk with a Vet

We are talking about why it is important to stay on track and never give up. Staying resilient is the key to a successful life.

Join us as we dive into a heartfelt episode where the host shares his evolving perspective on birthdays and celebrations. September marks a special month for him, but it's not the extravagant parties or the mountain of gifts that hold value anymore. Through personal anecdotes, including a memorable experience in Afghanistan, he reflects on the deeper significance of self-celebration and the joy of solitude.

Discover how his time waiting at the PAX terminal turned into a moment of unexpected camaraderie and contentment with a fellow Marine, redefining what it means to truly appreciate our own company. This episode encourages us to embrace the peace of spending time alone and highlights the importance of self-love and understanding as we navigate the materialistic tendencies tied to traditional celebrations.

Tune in for a reflective discussion that challenges conventional notions of celebrations and emphasizes the importance of cherishing peace, quiet, and the transformative journey of self-discovery.

Welcome back to the Beard Talk with a Veteran podcast with Tyran Cosby. The topic of this episode came from a few personal experiences that Tyran has had when trying to support black-owned businesses and the thoughts that came to mind as a result.

Tyran does his best to support black-owned businesses whenever possible because he wants to see black people do well and succeed despite the lack of support they get from the rest of the world. While it is true that black people have always been mistreated, things are getting better and it isn’t helpful to go around with a chip on your shoulder because of the past or present. Sometimes supporting black-owned businesses has worked out great, but sometimes he has been burned by people who want to win but don’t want to put in the effort. In a few specific instances, Tyran has found himself on the wrong end of a poor business deal because the people he had hired did not communicate effectively and even ignored what he wanted and just did whatever they wanted to do. 

For Tyran and Gary, Life Behind the Beard has not always been easy, but it has always been worth the effort, and when they have made mistakes, they have owned up in order to make things right. Tyran’s message to other black business owners is: put in the work, communicate, and care about what you are doing. Also, there is only one boss, so if you are not it, know your place and do your best there without copping an attitude.

This episode’s special guest is the other half of Life Behind the Beard, Tyran’s business partner, Gary. The two just got back to the States from a much-needed trip to Jamaica to cleanse and purify their lives and get a reset before the new year. They have come to realize that getting out of the country for a few days to a place where they can control their atmosphere has a way of centering them and giving them the clarity and energy they need to jump back into business and life.

Gary is a 4-year veteran of the Marine Corps and he realized after his honorable discharge that he couldn’t work for anyone else and he needed to be in a place where he could be himself and just get stuff done. He believes that unless you are wanting to go into a skilled profession that requires a college degree, college overall isn’t a necessity in order to be set up to be successful in life. The important thing is to follow your passion, to be committed to your work, and to just do your job. Kids these days need to learn valuable lessons like this before they screw up their lives.

Gary and Tyran recognize that there are huge differences in the way today’s kids are being raised and how their parents were raised. Nowadays, kids have no respect for authority and the negative influences in their lives overshadow the positive ones. Instead of looking up to their grandparents and learning from them by example and through discipline, kids are looking up to people that they see on social media and they are being exposed to terrible content on tv at a very young age.

Finally, Tyran and Gary talk about their business relationship and how they have been successful with Life Behind the Beard. Many people say that you shouldn’t go into business with your friends, but Gary and Tyran say that friends you trust and have rapport with make the best business partners because of the built-in accountability and ability to keep each other on track. When starting your own business, Gary’s advice is to read as much as you can and then find people who are successful at what you want to do and seek to be of service to them. This is the best way to learn and to get to know the business before jumping in and risking everything.
