          Sam and Kyle sit down with Ty Todt, former online-poker player who spent much of his twenties living the life many people dream of: making large amounts of money online, partying, traveling, expensive cars and houses. It wasn't until after a divorce in his mid-20's that he realized he wasn't full-filled. He talks about his transition from that realization to his current relationship with his wife. He discusses how the relationship almost failed, and how he was able to pull himself out using a combination of faith, family, and fitness which has led him to become the #1 Ranked Girl Dad, Foster Parent, and Husband. He now has huge amounts of energy that is magnetic for those around him. We chat about his work environment, family environment, and how those have changed since he started taking fitness seriously. 
          Ty currently has a limited number of slots for online lifestyle coaching. He can be contacted on Twitter at @tyromper and on his website at https://tylertodt.wixsite.com/tylertodt.
