#431 Tyler Todt - He Went from Depressed & Medicated to the Best Shape of His Life

Zuby is joined by self-described "most positive man on the internet," Tyler Todt. Tyler shares his story; from dropping out of college and winning seven figures playing professional poker, to waking up at 34 depressed, overweight, and on an SSRI that made everything worse. Eight and a half years later he's in the best shape of his life, financially free, and coaching thousands of men. The conversation covers why the West is drowning in depression and obesity, why blaming social media is just outsourcing personal responsibility, and the danger of giving away your power, and much more.
