“Communicating is something at surface level: we're communicating, here's the words, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Okay, go, see it. That's the message, right? But what you want is meaningful interaction. There's a quote in my book, and I could read it for you in a minute, but the idea is to shift from transaction to transformation. I could give you all kinds of data, but it's not going to transform you. It's not going to inspire you to do something different.” – David Tyler This episode's guest is a media and communication coach who's passionate about helping people connect. He believes communication is the key to breaking down barriers, building relationships, and solving problems, whether at work, home, or in life. His mission is to inspire others to communicate with empathy, understanding, and respect while keeping it practical and actionable. He's also a sync music composer and a voice talent widely recognized as the network voice of CTV News in Canada and dozens of other brands worldwide.His name is David Tyler, and what he has to share about communications is particularly important, especially now. If you're looking for ways to make a deeper connection with the people around you, both in business and your life, this is definitely a conversation you'll want to tune into. As always, if you have questions for my guest, you're welcome to reach out through the links in the show notes.

Both those things really help – and I'd love to feature your review on future podcasts. (0:00:00) - Journey From Music to VoiceoverWe start the conversation off with a look back at David's early memories of sound, and the surprising comfort he found in the sound of thunder as a child. “As the storm was coming,” he recalls, “the wind started pushing into the house and as it was going, the wind would be gushing out, but I would hear that sound of thunder, and that is the answer to your question. That sound of thunder, you know, to me means safety.” He tells us about his start in music, and what inspired his career in radio. “We were writing songs and stuff and my music teacher at the time,” he says, “had these things on the wall. It says careers that you could do as a musician and one of them was radio DJ.
