Meet Ty Temmel: The Life Coach Who Turns Struggles Into Strength and Success

From Rock Bottom to Unstoppable

If there’s one thing I know for sure—it’s that your lowest moments don’t define you. How you respond to them does.

And trust me, I’ve had more than my fair share of those moments. The kind where you’re laying there, staring at the ceiling (or in my case, the inside of my car) thinking—how the hell did I get here?

I’ve been knocked down more times than I can count. I’ve built things from scratch, just to watch them fall apart right in front of me. I’ve had days where I felt like a complete fraud, like no matter how hard I tried, I was never gonna “make it”—whatever the hell that even means.

But here’s what I figured out: rock bottom isn’t the end. It’s the beginning.

Before I was a life coach, before I was helping people turn their own setbacks into success—I was just a guy trying to get his sh*t together. I wasn’t some genius entrepreneur. I didn’t have a silver spoon or some magic formula. Everything I know now, I learned the hard way—through failure, frustration, and figuring it out one painful lesson at a time.

I’ve slept in my car.
I’ve been broke and had to borrow money just to eat.
I’ve had businesses crash and burn.

But every single time life tried to break me, I made a choice. Either let it define me… or use it to fuel me.

My Lowest Point

I don’t think anyone ever expects to hit rock bottom. It’s not like you wake up one day and say, Yep, today’s the day I lose everything and start living out of my car.
But life has a way of humbling you real quick.

I remember the first night. The air was thick, humid. Florida heat doesn’t care if you have nowhere to go—it’ll smother you just the same. I was parked in some random lot, trying to get comfortable in the driver’s seat, my hoodie bunched up against the window to block out the streetlights. I stared at the ceiling of my car, my body aching from being curled up in an unnatural position, and all I could think was:

How the hell did I get here?

I had no real plan. No backup. No safety net. My parents had moved away, and I had nowhere to crash, so my car became home. For two months, I lived like that—rotating between parking lots, showering at a gym, and pretending like I had everything under control.

But the truth was… I didn’t.

There were nights I just sat there, my mind racing with every worst-case scenario. Would I ever get out of this? Had I made a mistake chasing my dreams instead of playing it safe? Was I destined to just keep failing?

And the worst part? No one really knew.

I wasn’t broadcasting it. I wasn’t looking for pity. I just kept pushing forward, telling myself that somehow, someway, I was going to figure this out.

And eventually, I did.

I managed to scrape together enough to move into a tiny sunroom in an apartment I shared with others. If you can call it a room. It wasn’t meant for living, more like an afterthought—a space barely big enough to fit a mattress on the floor. But after sleeping in a car for two months? It felt like a damn mansion.

I convinced myself that this was temporary, that it was just another step toward something bigger. But life wasn’t done testing me yet.

Because just when I thought I was finally getting some footing, another business venture fell apart. And this time, I had nowhere else to go but back to my parents’ house—except by then, they had downsized.

The only space left for me? A laundry room.

I set up my queen-size mattress between a washing machine and a wall, surrounded by baskets of clothes and the faint smell of detergent. It was surreal—like I had climbed a ladder only to slip and hit every rung on the way back down.

There were moments where it felt like the world was laughing at me. Like every risk I had taken was some cruel joke and the punchline was my life. But even then, even in my worst moments, there was this tiny voice in my head that refused to quit.

“This isn’t it. This isn’t where your story ends.”

Because deep down, I knew something.

Struggle doesn’t mean failure. It means you’re being prepared.

And I wasn’t about to let these setbacks be the end of my story.

This? This was just the beginning.

The Turning Point

It’s funny how sometimes, the words that change your life aren’t shouted in some grand, dramatic moment. They don’t come with flashing lights or some cinematic score playing in the background.

Sometimes, they come quietly—in a simple conversation, on an ordinary day, from someone who knows you better than you know yourself.

For me, that moment came sitting across from my dad. I had just moved back into my parents’ house, defeated, frustrated, and completely lost. I was juggling a million different things—side hustles, business ideas, projects that never seemed to take off. I was chasing success in every direction, hoping that something—anything—would finally click. And then my dad said something that stopped me in my tracks. “Ty, you’re trying to do everything at once. But success doesn’t come from doing a hundred things halfway—it comes from doing one thing, really well.” I sat there, staring at him, letting those words settle in. Because he was right. I had spent years spreading myself thin, trying to be everywhere, trying to do everything, convinced that if I just kept grinding, something would stick. But in reality? I was spinning in circles. That one sentence changed everything. For the first time, I forced myself to stop chasing every opportunity and start going all in on just one. And that one thing? Marketing. I had already dabbled in it. I knew I had the skills. I understood branding, sales, psychology—how to make people pay attention. But I had never fully committed to it because I was always distracted by “the next thing.” Not anymore. That day, I made a decision: No more half-assing. No more distractions. This was it.

I locked in. I studied obsessively. I honed my skills, built systems, and started treating my agency like a real business instead of just another “thing I was trying.” I wasn’t just working harder—I was working smarter, using everything I had learned from my failures to avoid making the same mistakes. And then, something crazy happened. It worked. Clients slowly started coming in. Money started coming in. For the first time, I wasn’t just “surviving”—I was building something real.

That moment, that one shift in focus, was the stepping stone that led to everything else. Because once I learned the power of going all in, everything changed.

The Path to Growth and Mastery

Success isn’t a single decision—it’s a process. A relentless, never-ending commitment to growth. For me, that meant mastering myself before I could master anything else. I used to think my brain was working against me. A million thoughts racing at once, constantly jumping between ideas, strategies, and possibilities. At first, I saw my ADHD as a weakness—something that held me back. I was wrong. It wasn’t a weakness. It was an unrefined strength. The problem wasn’t focus—it was focus management. And once I cracked that code, everything changed.

Turning ADHD Into a Superpower

Instead of fighting my natural tendencies, I built systems around them:

I didn’t try to be someone else. I harnessed the way my brain was wired and made it an advantage.

The Acrobat Mindset: Learning Discipline the Hard Way

Long before I built businesses, I was training as a gymnast, acrobat, and performer.
People see the flips—not the falls.
They see the stunts—not the struggle.
What they don’t see is the grind behind it:

But those years taught me lessons that shaped everything I do:

Discipline beats motivation—you don’t train because you feel like it. You train because it’s what needs to be done.
Repetition creates mastery—if something isn’t working, you keep going until it does. No shortcuts.
Failure isn’t failure—it’s data. Every fall is a lesson. Every mistake refines your skills.

These principles didn’t just make me a better athlete. They made me a better entrepreneur, coach, and leader. Because whether you’re learning a backflip or building a business, the process is the same: Discipline. Strategy. Relentless execution. That’s how you win.

The Birth of a Life Coach

It’s wild how life works. How the very struggles that almost break you… end up becoming the foundation for your purpose.

I never set out to be a life coach. I didn’t wake up one day and say, Hey, I think I’ll start telling people how to fix their lives. No—it happened naturally.

As I built myself back up—learning discipline, mastering focus, growing my business—people started coming to me for advice. At first, it was just friends. They’d hit me up, asking how I managed to stay motivated, how I structured my days, how I went from living in my car to running a successful business. Then, it was people I barely knew—friends of friends, guys who had seen my progress online, entrepreneurs who were struggling to get their own businesses off the ground. And every time I helped someone—every time I saw their mindset shift, their confidence grow, their results change—I realized something. I was built for this.

Breaking Down Success Into Simple Steps

One of the biggest problems with personal development? Most advice is vague as hell.

Cool. But how? See, I’ve always had this skill—this ability to take something complicated and break it down into clear, actionable steps. Maybe it came from years of acrobatic training, where every complex move had to be broken down into micro-movements. Or maybe it was from marketing, where success depends on strategy, not just effort. Either way, I knew this: People don’t need fluff. They need a game plan. So that’s what I gave them. I started coaching people the way I coached myself—direct, strategic, and ruthlessly effective.

Tough Love, Real Results

Let’s get one thing straight: I’m not the kind of coach who tells you what you want to hear.

I tell you what you need to hear.

Because growth isn’t comfortable. Change isn’t easy. And if you’re stuck in the same patterns, it’s because something needs to be shaken up.

I don’t believe in sugarcoating.
I don’t believe in participation trophies.
I don’t believe in waiting for the perfect time to start.

What I do believe in is pushing people past their limits, helping them see what they’re actually capable of, and giving them the exact strategies to transform their lives. And that’s what made my coaching different.

I didn’t just motivate people. I gave them a blueprint. I didn’t just inspire. I held them accountable.

And because of that—because I made people uncomfortable, because I pushed them past their excuses—they got results. That’s when I knew. This wasn’t just something I was good at. This was what I was meant to do.

Why Work with Me?

Let’s be real—there are a million “life coaches” out there. Motivational speakers, mindset gurus, and influencers selling the idea of success without ever having lived through real struggle. I’m not here to feed you empty hype or generic self-help fluff. If you work with me, you’re getting real, tactical, no-BS coaching designed to actually change your life—not just make you feel good for a few hours. Here’s what you can expect when we work together:

1. A Complete Mental Shift in 90 Days

Most people don’t realize that success isn’t about what you do—it’s about how you think. In the first three months, I help you rebuild your mindset from the ground up:

Destroying limiting beliefs that keep you stuck.
Rewiring your habits to set you up for long-term success.
Teaching you how to self-audit, so you can identify what’s holding you back in real-time.

By the end of 90 days, you’ll see the world differently. You’ll operate differently. And the things that used to slow you down? They won’t anymore.

2. Breaking Self-Sabotage & Building Systems for Success (6-12 Months)

Once we’ve shifted your mentality, we go deeper. This is where you start recognizing patterns—the ways you’ve been getting in your own way for years. We identify the subconscious blocks keeping you from what you want and eliminate them for good. But awareness alone isn’t enough. I don’t just help you see the problem—I give you the exact systems and strategies to fix it. That means:

Custom game plans tailored to your unique goals.
Accountability structures that keep you on track.
Proven frameworks to help you make better decisions, faster.

This is when exponential life changes happen.

3. Tough-Love Coaching That Actually Works

Look, I’m not here to baby you. If you need someone to hold your hand and tell you it’s okay to keep making the same excuses—you’re in the wrong place. But if you’re ready to actually change—to be pushed past your limits, to hear the hard truths no one else will tell you, and to finally stop getting in your own way—then I’m the coach for you.
I won’t just hype you up.
I won’t let you off the hook.
I will hold you accountable—because that’s how real transformation happens.

Rock Bottom is Just the Beginning

If you’re feeling stuck, frustrated, or like you’re meant for more but don’t know how to break through—I get it. Because I’ve been there. And I’m here to tell you: even rock bottom is a foundation to grow from. Your past doesn’t define you. Your failures don’t define you. The only thing that matters is what you do next.
You have two choices:

Keep spinning your wheels, making the same excuses, and waiting for the “right time” (which doesn’t exist).
Decide that today is the day you take control.

If you’re ready for the second option—I’m here to help you build the life you actually deserve. Let’s make it happen.
