Tyler Adams
Founder of Goodpain Company, creating space for honest conversations about life's intensities between the peaks and valleys
Male from Denver, United states and speaks EnglishAvailable for Collaboration, Interviews in In-Person, Remote Formats
1. The Overwhelmed Achiever
Highly driven professionals suffering from burnout and productivity obsession. They feel disconnected between their external success and internal well-being, struggling to find genuine rest while treating themselves as "never-ending projects." They seek sustainable approaches to life and work that don't rely on external validation or endless optimization.
2. The Discerning Connector
People who value authentic relationships but feel "hyperconnected and profoundly lonely" despite constant online engagement. They're wary of transactional networking and seek spaces for spontaneous, unfiltered conversations. They want to understand the difference between genuine solitude and isolating loneliness while building resilient community bonds.
3. The Reflective Caregiver
Individuals deeply engaged in caregiving roles (parenting, family care, community leadership) who understand life's "raw realities" and "true intensities." They feel overwhelmed by relentless emotional demands while wanting to maintain their own resources. They seek wisdom that goes beyond simplistic advice for complex relational dynamics.
4. The Philosophical Seeker
Intellectually curious people drawn to psychology, philosophy, neuroscience, and contemplative traditions. They refuse surface-level explanations and want to connect abstract concepts to lived reality. They're frustrated with content that's either too academic or too simplistic, seeking frameworks for understanding the territory they're already walking through.
5. The Conscious Leader
Current or aspiring leaders (in business, community, family) who are disillusioned with traditional hierarchical models that prioritize power accumulation. They seek authentic leadership rooted in wisdom, serving collective flourishing while integrating personal development with institutional responsibility. They want to build organizations that serve people rather than consuming them.

About Tyler Adams
Tyler Martin speaks from scars, not fresh wounds.
A former Chief Strategy Officer turned contemplative guide, Tyler spent two decades in healthcare and media leadership before life taught him that mastery means holding space for mystery, not having all the answers.
The founder of Goodpain Company, Tyler creates conversations about enduring life's intensities without the inspirational bullshit.
His work sits at the intersection of personal transformation and institutional change, helping leaders navigate the gap between breakdown and breakthrough.
Tyler serves on nonprofit boards, pursues doctoral studies in psychology, and practices various crafts that serve as experiments in truth.
He lives in Colorado with his family, where caregiving taught him more about leadership than business school ever could.

Why Invite Tyler Adams as a Guest?
What makes conversations different: I'm fluent in both boardroom strategy and bedside vigil. This means I can speak to high achievers about the costs of optimization culture without losing credibility, and discuss contemplative wisdom without retreating into abstraction. Guests find themselves exploring territory they know but rarely name. The storytelling element: My family's story provides a concrete anchor for abstract concepts. When we discuss resilience, I'm not theorizing – I'm describing what it means to live with a daughter who can't speak but has taught me more about communication than decades in corporate meetings. These specifics make philosophical ideas accessible. Humor as bridge: The absurdity of thinking I could control anything became clear when I was strategizing pediatric neurology programs while learning to change g-tube feeds. I've developed a dry appreciation for the gap between human planning and reality that helps audiences laugh at their own illusions of mastery. Practical frameworks: I don't offer empty inspiration. The Arapaho Four Hills model, Parker Palmer's work on holding paradox, my research on community-based healing – these become tools audiences can use rather than concepts to admire from a distance.
