What happens when you get everything you thought you wanted and still feel empty?

Tychon Carter won Big Brother Canada, gained fame and followers overnight, and felt completely lost. The success arrived before he was ready for it. The external validation didn't fill the internal void.

In this conversation, we dig into the gap between looking successful and actually feeling whole. Tychon walks through his journey from urban planner to reality TV winner to performance coach, and the hard lessons about self-worth that came with it.

We explore the masks we wear in professional spaces, the cost of performative confidence we don't feel, and why so many high-achievers feel stuck despite checking all the boxes. Tychon's "Start With You" framework breaks down three critical areas most of us keep out of balance:

• Power (accessing your authentic self)
• Play (creating and enjoying life beyond work)
• and Peace (finding internal harmony)

The conversation gets real about mental health, the isolation trap of self-reliance, and why giving to community might be more rewarding than the endless pursuit of more.
