The All Black Everything podcast

Buckle up, history makers, because we're about to dive headfirst into the captivating journey of Tyler Grady, the CEO who built Deelseekerz LLC from the ground up. But before we get lost in his entrepreneurial fire, let's rewind to first grade. In a word association game, Tyler drops a truth bomb about facing blatant racism as early as six years old. Being called a "gorilla" by a classmate sparked a fire within him that fueled his determination to excel. This experience, coupled with countless microaggressions, became a pivotal moment for Tyler. He understood the power words held and used them to fuel his academic ambitions. He chose hard work, resilience, and education as his weapons against ignorance. But Tyler's fight extends beyond personal battles. He sheds light on the ever-present reality of white supremacy, emphasizing the need for constant vigilance and awareness. He doesn't shy away from tough conversations, tackling the complexities of reparations with a strong voice. Cash payments, he argues, are a crucial part of addressing the legacy of slavery and its lasting impact. However, Tyler isn't just about fighting the good fight; he's also a champion for self-discovery and legacy building. He delves into the beauty of family traditions and how our ancestors shape our paths. Growing up in Beverly Hills, a stark contrast to his cultural roots, brought its own set of challenges. Seeing a lack of representation in successful positions forced him to confront his self-image and redefine his possibilities. Through it all, Tyler emerges as a beacon of positivity, urging us to unlock the beauty within ourselves and embrace our heritage. He reminds us of the importance of boundaries in healthy development, a topic particularly relevant in today's blurred lines and societal shifts. This episode is overflowing with captivating stories, thought-provoking discussions, and a dose of inspiration from a man who built his own success story while advocating for a brighter future. So, get ready to be empowered, challenged, and, most importantly, inspired by the one and only Tyler Grady in this episode of "All Black Everything." --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/abe2020/support
