Tyler Merrick – Founder of Project 7

For much of Tyler Merrick’s life he has been a successful entrepreneur and benefactor for good across multiple platforms and organizations. Yet in 2008 Tyler found himself at a professional crossroads wanting to help more people through his business endeavors and be a catalyst for change in a continually inward consumer centric culture.

The answer was simple… “products for good!”

“If people are going to buy things, lots of things. Then let’s use those things they purchase to help change the world around us. Let’s make everyday products for everyday people to solve everyday problems around the globe”.

In 2008, Tyler Merrick became a Social Entrepreneur and Project 7 was born; a company dedicated to making ‘Products for Good”.

Tyler joins us in Episode 33 at Let The Music Play Podcast as we discuss business, leadership, and the art of learning from our failures.

I heard the ice cream truck.

Then I walked around the corner and sixteen dollars later I was the new owner of four ice cream cones.

Typically, we hear about something before we go see about it.

Mind your music.

We’re listening.

What would I tell my younger self?

Today? This…

Point and call out beauty everywhere you see it. Do the same for the truth and good that finds you and that you find.

Celebrate the success of others.

Don’t dam your tears.

Meaning > Money.

Pause by orchids.

Always assume positive intent in digital communication.

When you can, make time to prepare your meals.

Busy and efficient are not the same.

Be.

Love is the engine of the universe.

Oh…and it’s going to be ok.

Gladdening the Mind > Losing the Mind

Mondays are typically anything but soulful. Between a myriad of missed calls, stacked to-do’s from the weekend, and an inbox full of Black Cats, we tend to begin our weeks in a state of heaviness in-lieu of one of openness and lightness.

Try this…gladden your mind.

On paper, write something small and human that brings you immense joy and that you can hold on to today. Or in your heart space, hold the people and ideas that light up your life for thirty seconds. Quickly, this will cause the Monday mind frown to turn upside down.

Once the mind is gladdened it’s a lot harder to lose it.
