Episode 2: Tyler Grey

Tyler Grey is a former Special Operations Forces operator who turned the hardest chapters of his life into a mission to help others. After being severely wounded in combat and enduring years of recovery, he refused to be defined by pain. He created the LTSD theory to shed light on chaos addiction and the unseen wounds of war, giving veterans a new language for their struggles.
Today, as a filmmaker, speaker, and advocate, Tyler uses raw, unfiltered storytelling to break stigmas, bridge worlds, and prove that rock bottom can be the beginning—not the end.

A message from Mandatory Fun Day,
Hey, I want to tell you about ⁠⁠Pushups for the Mind.mil.⁠⁠
It’s not just another mindfulness app. It’s an evidence-based training program built for service members — by neuroscientists working with the Department of War.
This isn’t about zoning out or relaxing. It’s a structured training path — starting with short daily sessions that build into a four-week program. You’ll learn how attention works, and you’ll train it, just like physical fitness.
Each step builds mental strength, sharper focus, and better composure under stress.
It’s designed for the demands of military life — and it’s free for anyone with a .mil address.
Start your journey with Pushups for the Mind.mil — and make your attention mission-ready.
