Fire & Iron Interview Series: Special Guest Tyler Woods
Join us on Rebel Sage Radio for an unfiltered exploration of masculinity and self-discovery with our special guest, Tyler Woods, a dedicated men's coach and leader. Listen in as Tyler opens up about his personal journey, from his early years as an only child in Washington State to the transformative moment when his family dynamic changed with the unexpected arrival of triplet siblings. This pivotal event led Tyler to experience feelings of withdrawal and self-worth struggles, which he carried into his youth. In his mid-20s, a health scare prompted a significant lifestyle change, resulting in substantial weight loss and a new perspective on life. Despite these external changes, Tyler continued to grapple with internal issues, leading him to seek therapy and connect with the Mankind Project, where he found a community of men who shared their vulnerabilities and supported one another in redefining masculinity and self-acceptance.
As the conversation unfolds, we explore the broader themes of self-discovery and personal growth. Tyler shares insights from his transformative journey, sparked by an event similar to Burning Man, which inspired a deeper exploration of his internal landscapes often overshadowed by societal expectations. Engaging in men's groups and integrating personal insights shifted Tyler's approach from checking off life's traditional boxes to embracing emotional awareness and healing. We discuss the transition from living a performative, scripted life to experiencing genuine, fulfilling interactions and spiritual growth, underscoring the importance of authenticity and breaking free from societal norms.
Throughout this episode, we touch on the power of authenticity and the inner journey of self-reflection. With Tyler's experiences as a backdrop, we explore the challenges of peeling back superficial layers to uncover one's true self and the significance of integrity and congruence in achieving authenticity. By confronting personal addictions and distractions, we find the space to align with our true mission and lead a more purposeful life. Emphasizing the balance between structure and flexibility, we highlight the role of intentional living and community support in personal growth and fulfillment. Tune in to be inspired by Tyler's journey and insights, and discover the transformative power of authenticity in leading your own narrative.

Tyler shares his personal story, from growing up as an only child in Washington State to the unexpected arrival of triplet siblings that shifted the family dynamic. This led to feelings of withdrawal and self-worth struggles that shaped his youth.

Despite these external transformations, he continued to grapple with internal issues of self-worth, leading him to seek therapy and discover the Mankind Project. Through this organization, Tyler found a community of men who openly shared their vulnerabilities, helping him realize he was not alone in his struggles. This chapter provides a raw and genuine look into the challenges and growth involved in redefining masculinity and self-acceptance.
(0:09:01) - Exploring Self-Discovery and Growth (14 Minutes)
This chapter explores the transformative journey of self-discovery and personal growth, initiated by the profound experiences following an event similar to Burning Man. We examine how an encounter with another person led to a newfound sense of aliveness and sparked a deeper exploration of internal landscapes, often ignored due to societal expectations. By participating in men's groups and integrating personal insights, the journey shifts from ticking life's traditional checkboxes to embracing emotional awareness and healing. The conversation highlights the shift from a performative, scripted life to one filled with genuine, fulfilling human interactions and spiritual growth, emphasizing the importance of authenticity and breaking free from societal norms.
(0:22:53) - Discovering Authenticity and Self-Reflection (12 Minutes)
This chapter explores the concept of authenticity in a world where genuine essence is often masked by superficial layers. We examine the role of an authenticity coach and the journey to live from a place of true self-awareness. We touch on the challenge of understanding one's identity amidst societal labels and the significance of peeling back layers, much like an onion, to uncover one's true self. The conversation shifts to the inner struggle of overcoming personal addictions and distractions that hinder authenticity. We discuss the importance of integrity and congruence, highlighting how addressing these barriers allows us to listen deeply and align with our true mission. Through community and the guidance of those who have navigated similar paths, we find the opportunity to identify and overcome blind spots, ultimately paving the way for a more authentic and purposeful life.
(0:34:45) - Living With Intention (7 Minutes)
This chapter explores the concept of Wu Wei, a Taoist philosophy that suggests the power of taking no action and accepting reality as it is. We discuss how exhausting it can be to constantly fight against reality and the peace that comes from relaxing into the present moment. This leads to a discussion on discernment, recognizing when to seek community or solitude, and understanding personal needs. I share some of my non-negotiables that support my journey towards self-awareness, including abstaining from alcohol, avoiding sugar, and engaging in regular physical activity. I emphasize the importance of intentionalizing time, setting goals, and using tools like habit trackers to create and maintain beneficial habits. Ultimately, this chapter highlights the balance between structure and flexibility in pursuing personal growth and freedom.
(0:41:59) - Navigating Authenticity and Personal Growth (3 Minutes)
This chapter focuses on the themes of transparency, authenticity, and personal growth. We explore how individuals are often influenced by past patterns and emotions, which can lead to a state of victimhood. Emphasizing the importance of recognizing and confronting these habitual doubts and fears, we discuss the process of peeling away layers to reveal a more genuine self. I share my experiences and challenges, acknowledging that embracing these aspects is crucial for transformation. Additionally, I talk about my work with men in one-on-one and group settings, as well as my endeavors as an authenticity coach and podcast host. This chapter aims to inspire listeners to create space for personal growth and fulfillment, encouraging them to lead their own narratives rather than being constrained by past influences.
