Tyler Merren isn’t just a name in the blind community—he’s a force. A five-time Paralympian, retired goalball champion, public speaker, and the founder of the Revision Fitness app, Tyler joins us to talk about the many layers of his life: family, travel, sport, and how he’s made fitness accessible for everyone, blind or sighted.

He shares how his journey took him around the world competing, and how a chance encounter at a blind sports event led to meeting his wife—also a blind athlete. Twenty-two years and four kids later, their story is still going strong. Tyler walks us through the inspiration behind launching Revision Fitness: a blind single mom who just wanted to work out independently at home.

We also get into the cultural differences he’s experienced when it comes to how blindness is viewed around the world, his full-time role directing a camp in Michigan, and the ins and outs of being a public speaker working with agencies and commissions nationwide. From hosting a low vision exchange student to raising kids who ref and line judge goalball matches, Tyler’s life is anything but ordinary.

He even gives us the scoop on new updates coming to his fitness app. If you want a snapshot of what blind dads can do—with passion, purpose, and family support—this episode brings it all together.
