#18: Motivation is Bullsh*t | Tyler Geiger

Tyler Geiger is the owner of Nock Performance and is a former police officer.

In this episode, Tyler opens up about the identity shifts that come from changing careers, embracing fatherhood, and building a life rooted in discipline, honesty, and action.

He shares the story of leaving behind a structured law enforcement career to bet on himself, diving headfirst into entrepreneurship with no backup plan and no guarantees. Tyler’s journey is full of sharp turns: growing up with a chip on his shoulder, moving 600 miles to become a cop in Nashville, and later walking away from the police force when he knew it was time to chase something bigger.

Throughout the conversation, we explore impactful recurring themes in Tyler's life that he transfers to his coaching philosophy: showing up for your family, doing hard things when no one is watching, and building a life that demands your presence and your potential.

🎯 Key Moments & Takeaways:

• Lessons from the academy and policing in the Nashville projects
• Building confidence through action, not motivation
• What law enforcement taught him about reading people and leading teams
• Why he doesn't set traditional goals and what he focuses on instead
• The real reason people get stuck in comparison and excuses
• The power of manifesting what you want through work, not wishes
• How being authentically yourself is the best way to build anything

If you need some dry, direct advice about how to crush your goals and stay true to yourself - this episode is going to make it onto your Saved Episodes list. 

Hope you enjoy it.
