This is a Glassbox Media Podcast.

Welcome to the Self-Helpful Podcast, where I partner with our biggest

publishers and agencies to bring you the most current and cutting-edge

research and stories on personal growth and development and improvement so

you can be in the know and at your fullest capacity. I'm Kevin Miller in this

episode. I am back with Tyler Merritt for part two of our discussion to talk

through his personal values and motives and habits and the key areas of life to

see what drives him. In part one together our focus was talking about stereotypes

and marginalization. I'm a six-foot tall white American male who has only

experienced positive stereotyping and no marginalization. Tyler is a six-two

dreadlocked black man in America who absolutely knows what it's like to be

negatively stereotyped and marginalized and I encourage you to listen at

episode if you haven't. But in this one this is a behind-the-scenes on Tyler. If

you don't know Tyler he is a Nashville-based actor, activist, cancer

survivor, founder of the Tyler Merritt Project and author of the book I take

my coffee black reflections on Tupac musical theater, faith, and being black in

America. Over the course of Tyler's career he's gained recognition through

notable acting projects including Kevin probably saves the world, outer banks,

the outsider as well as serving as the face of the worldwide teaching curriculum

for the gospel project for kids. And most recently Tyler made headlines with his

2018 video that went viral called Before You Call the Cops. If you have not

seen that just type in before you call the cops Tyler Merritt you'll find it.
