We had the good fortune of connecting with TYRONE MILLER and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi TYRONE, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
I think Calculated risk taking could positively change your Life. RISK Taking has been Pivotal in my life and Career. It was risky to leave my Day job to compete on a reality show, but when I won the show it was worth it! I believe you will learn about yourself when taking a risk, As humans we are drawn to comfort and safety. To decide to take a risk and make the most of the opportunity strengthens that muscle for the future.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I feel my journey through the entertainment world is what sets me apart! To start off a local rapper in Trenton NJ to becoming a television host has been a long and winding road, with all the pitfalls and potholes you can imagine. I also did this while having a beautiful family. My wife and children kept me motivated when I wasn’t doing what I wanted to be doing. It was hard! I lost a rap battle on national tv in 2002 and had to come home and hear all about it in my area! Afterwards I was embarrassed by the loss. I vowed to never lose on TV again. In 2004 I went on a reality show about breaking in to the music industry. I WON. The win was great but realizing the importance of consistent persistence changed my life. From 2004- 2016 I appeared in over 35 national television shows in varied capacities but all on camera.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I want to shout out my Wife! My whole journey to getting where I am now has been with her as my life partner. When I first started rapping back in the late 90s my wife (then girlfriend) brought me a karaoke machine to record myself. She believed in me and Invested in me from the start! When going on the road for a month for a tv show she encouraged me to go even though it made her day to day much harder.
