Tyler Grey joins Ryan “Birdman” Parrott for a powerful discussion about military service, trauma, and finding purpose beyond the uniform. Tyler shares his experience as a Special Operations veteran, actor, and author of Forged in Chaos: A Warrior’s Origin Story. He opens up about his childhood struggles, the identity crisis many veterans face, and his unique theory of LTSD—Lack of Traumatic Stress Disorder.

This conversation tackles deep topics including addiction, emotional healing, and self-worth, offering a fresh perspective on what’s often misunderstood in the veteran and first responder communities. Tyler also shares the personal story behind his book, his acting career, and the importance of quiet—not silent—professionalism.

A must-listen for anyone navigating trauma, identity, or major life transitions.
