Fire in The Belly

E254: “Find Your Talent and Practice, Practice, Practice” – Tyler Foley Interview


Listen Later

Mighty Pete and Tyler Foley sit down to talk about talent and how to nurture it. Tyler has a very specific lived experience in that he’s been working as an actor from the age of six – and so has an important perspective on how to grow and improve the skills we have naturally. He humbly shares the setbacks he has gone through on the way to his current success, to show the Fire in the Belly listeners how “failures” are more often disguised gifts.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Hone your talents and show up to make your dreams happen, but also leave space for the universe to guide you on a different path.
  • We don’t “possess” any of our talents or material things. The best way to make use of anything is to use it in service to others.
  • Find something that excites you and do it every day.
  • Trust who you are (can you work a 9-5? Are you more an entrepreneur who prefers making their own hours?) and don’t needlessly drain your energy.

BEST MOMENTS

  • “Talent is such a weird and finicky thing. I feel that everyone who has a chance to audition (for something) has talent, but your specific talent may not be what you need for that role.”
  • “I am definitely metric-driven, too … I am pleasure-driven (as opposed to pain-driven). If I am not succeeding…currently, I know that I can get there. So, I’m driven for the reward at the end of the tunnel.”

“(My setbacks) were necessary because they really focused (my) message. I will give this up, I will give that up – but I’m not giving up on this.”

  • “There is nothing significantly different between a person who feels they are lucky versus a person who feels that they are unlucky, but the people who feel that they are lucky have a wider field of perception…so they are constantly looking for opportunities, (positive biases) over negative biases.”

ABOUT THE GUEST
