Friday Dec 22, 2023
On this episode of The Ty Brady Way, Ty and guest Jared Briggs share their family traditions and holiday experiences. Jared discusses how his current family traditions have evolved, involving visits to in-laws for Christmas and spending Thanksgiving with his parents, alternating between the two each year. Jared mentions that with his wife and their six-month-old daughter, they haven't established new traditions yet.
Jared recalls a humorous story from his childhood about Christmas and how he and his brother couldn't resist peeking at their presents early, which led to an unexpected consequence. Their mom creatively made them earn their presents back by doing chores, feeding the animals, cleaning the house, and going to family members' homes to sing Christmas carols. This entertaining memory still influences Jared's attitude towards surprises.
The conversation also touches on the challenges of shopping for a newborn and how holiday traditions may change as their family grows. Jared mentions his wife's love for Halloween, and he shares his fondness for Thanksgiving, appreciating the relaxed atmosphere, good food, and quality time with family.

Episode 172: Little Red Hen Story- Relaunched
Friday Oct 20, 2023
Friday Oct 20, 2023
On this episode of The Ty Brady Way, Ty reflects on a classic story called "The Little Red Hen" to convey a powerful message about hard work and dedication. Ty shares how the story tells of a diligent hen who seeks help from her companions – a dog, a pig, and a cow – at various stages of growing and making bread. However, each time, they refuse to assist and choose to sunbathe instead. The little red hen persists, doing all the work herself. When the bread is finally ready, the dog, pig, and cow eagerly want to share it, but the hen enjoys it alone.
Ty draws parallels between this story and the life of an entrepreneur. Ty emphasizes that success isn't just about the highlight reel; it's about the unseen hard work, dedication, and sacrifices that lead to that success. The story serves as a reminder that there is no substitution for hard work, and individuals must be willing to put in the effort and make sacrifices to achieve their goals.
Ty encourages you to assess your willingness to put in the hard work required for success, to overcome challenges, and to achieve your dreams
