Welcome to "No Options with Ty Gipson":

• The show's purpose is to share real stories, raw conversations, and the unwavering belief that listeners are "built to overcome".
• Host Ty Gipson shares his personal journey to help others navigate their challenges, drawing on a lifetime of overcoming adversity and persevering.

Ty's Early Life and First Challenges:

• Diagnosed with juvenile diabetes at age 8 in southeast Texas.
• At age 10, he was one of the first to wear what is now known as the insulin pump, which helped regulate his brittle diabetes after years of in and out of hospitals.
• Despite his condition, he lived a full childhood and young adulthood, enjoying activities like skiing, fishing, hunting, swimming, and playing sports, striving to live as though he "did not have diabetes".
• His parents treated him like any other child, and he enjoyed college life and an internship at Walt Disney World.

First Major Health Crisis and Dual Transplant (2000):

• At age 30, Ty 's kidneys were failing.
• He was a candidate for a dual kidney-pancreas transplant in Baltimore, Maryland.
• His mother, at age 60, was his living donor for the kidney, while the pancreas came from an organ donor.
• During this period, Ty was determined not to "skip a beat," continuing to work despite feeling rough and relying on naps to get through the day.
• The call for the transplant came on Super Bowl Sunday, January 2000.
• The surgery lasted 16 hours, involving Ty, his mother, and the pancreas in separate surgical rooms.
• Immediately after surgery, Ty felt better, though he realized later how bad he had truly felt.
• Post-surgery, he left the hospital a month and a half later, taking 60 pills a day due to the nature of the research surgery and new medications.
• The new pancreas allowed his body to regulate its own insulin, making him feel like the diabetes was cured, even though it's not a complete cure.

New Life and Entrepreneurship:

• After the transplant, Ty felt healthy and was able to go back to work.
• He met Crystal, who would soon become his wife.
• Together, they decided to tackle entrepreneurship, leaving corporate jobs to go "100%" into their own business.
• They adopted a "no options to fail" mindset, pushing through challenges despite 80% of small businesses failing.
• They successfully launched a business and, a couple of years later, opened a similar business on a national level that has been successful for years.

Subsequent Health Challenges and Second Kidney Transplant (2019):

• While on top of the world, Ty started feeling bad again, discovering his pancreas had failed. He went back on the insulin pump to regulate his insulin.
• Eight years later, his kidneys started failing again.
• He underwent dialysis three days a week from 4 AM to 9 AM for almost a year.
• His brother and sister both matched as potential kidney donors, with his sister initially in line, but she was deemed not a perfect match due to challenges.
• His wife, Crystal, who had a different blood type, got checked for an organ swap, but miraculously found out she was a perfect match for Ty , stating, "God has changed my blood type".
• The transplant occurred on New Year's Eve 2019, and both Ty and Crystal came out perfectly.
• They spent over a month in recovery before returning home around mid-February, just in time to face the COVID-19 pandemic.
• With a compromised immune system, Ty had to be extremely careful and was eventually hospitalized with COVID, but has since recovered and continues to run his successful business.

The "No Options" Message:

• Ty emphasizes that behind every challenge has been a success in his story.
• He encourages listeners to "continue to push through your challenges because there is success on the other side".
• He expresses gratitude to the three organ donors (his mother, the anonymous pancreas donor, and his wife Crystal) who have extended his life and allowed him to continue having success.
