About this listen
The Tyler Campbell story is the journey of a man who is in constant search of finding the best version of himself. At an early age, Tyler discovers that his path in life will be a constant emotional roller coaster, that his life will be full of faith-tested trials and heartbreaking setbacks.
The son of an NFL Hall of Famer and Heisman Trophy winner, Tyler is on the quest to create a new path for himself and he would utilize the game of football to do it. After his junior year at football powerhouse, Westlake High School, Tyler is ranked the number two running back prospect in the state of Texas. Unfortunately, all that glitters is not gold and a host of bad decisions placed him in the alternative education system.
After losing all scholarships, Tyler comes face-to-face with himself and has to decide if he can be self-motivated enough to keep a Division 1 college football dream alive. It would be life’s constant tug-of-war for his spirit that eventually opens Tyler’s eyes to his true gift and purpose in life.

Cody Garbrandt grew up in a rough town in the Central Appalachian region of Ohio, surrounded by a longstanding culture of fighting - and drugs. Raised in this environment by a single mom (his dad left him at the young age of three to reside in the Ohio State Penitentiary), Cody grew up fighting, and he grew up wild. His future seemed predestined to end in the coal mines or in prison. Thankfully, Cody had visions of something more. His American dream? Mixed martial arts.
