When Tyler got out of the Army as a 23 year-old, he witnessed Cannabis save the life of his grandmother, who was unable to treat her back pain with opioids. He then began working for one of the first licensed vertically integrated cannabis companies in Boulder, Colorado, Boulder Kind Care. He helped them relocate and build their cultivation facility, including equipment selection and installation. For a few years he worked his way through almost every one of the positions across the cannabis vertical. He has held cultivation management positions, dispensary positions, and eventually was the director of compliance for Boulder Kind Care. After helping a couple other local vertically integrated companies transition from Medical to Dual/Medical & Recreational companies in the Colorado market, he then went to work for MJ Freeway as an Operational Implementation Specialist. Having been a beta user of MJ Freeway and the only one with perspective on “both sides” of the software, he was responsible for the implementation and “go live” of well over 400 operations in the cannabis industry, across the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, and Spain, Including the first 4 dispensaries in 4 states (NV, MN, AK, FL). He has spoken at countless conferences and events, trained thousands of operators on both Cannabis plant/product knowledge, compliance, tools/software, and helped create a lot of their educational content and SOP documentation. After 3 years, he then went to work for Canna Advisors (one of the most prestigious, professional, and successful consulting companies in the industry) as their Director of Client operations, advising both pre-license and post-license clients on operational set-up and efficiencies. He also created their Strategic Partner Program, negotiating deals for their high-quality clients with vendors of ancillary cannabis products.

Talking to Tyler Madden for any more than a minute, you can tell that he’s a smart guy. But would you ever guess a general contractor and real estate investor has degrees in biology and chemistry? Probably not!Tyler went to school to be a doctor, but after leaving school he found himself in the restaurant industry. He was serving tables, which later turned into bartending, and later managing the restaurants himself. He enjoyed the growth he found in the restaurant industry but realized that there was a cap to the success. At the same time, Tyler was fixing up his primary residence every so often, learning new tricks of the trade from online. He got so good at fixing up his own house, other people started asking him to take care of projects on their houses. Tyler loved fixing up houses, and decided to get his general contractor license and start up his own business. Tyler was even inadvertently house hacking and doing a live in flip/rehab on his first primary home without even realizing it. He rented out a room in his house while he was fixing up the property, which helped him cover a lot of costs. When Tyler and his wife decided to move into another house, they kept it as a rental property, and held on to a LOT of equity that he is now using to pursue future deals.He’s had a fire in a home, a break-in, and at one point had 40 cop cars surrounding him with guns drawn (he shares in the episode). Tyler is an interesting guy, and has a lot of knowledge to share on rehabbing, contracting, cost estimating, and financing!

Hi everyone! We are taking the week off to celebrate the holidays, but we're rereleasing one of our all-time favorite episodes. We hope you enjoy! Happy Holidays from the LGTC crew! Amy Anderton was concerned. Her boyfriend, Logan Storm, *seemed* like a good guy. He was a middle school math teacher. He talked a lot about trust and positivity. But something seemed off. So one day, when Logan left for work, Amy snooped through Logan’s stuff. That’s when she came across a thumbdrive. She plugged it into her computer, opened it, and was horrified by what she saw -- hundreds of images of child pornography. Then, Brandi tells us about high school student Tyler Hadley’s massive party. When Tyler first told his friends about his plan to throw a party, they were a little skeptical.Tyler wasn’t the party-throwing type. His parents were super strict. But Tyler was determined to throw a party, and that’s exactly what he did. Tons of kids showed up from all over the sleepy town of Port St. Lucie, Florida. They had so much fun that they didn’t notice that Tyler’s house was a crime scene. And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases. In this episode, Kristin pulled from: “Still claiming innocence, Logan Storm sentenced to eight years in prison on child porn, failure-to-appear convictions,” by Helen Jung for The Oregonian “Logan Storm slips ankle bracelet, flees hours after verdict on child porn charge,” by Helen Jung for The Oregonian “Child porn convict dumps monitor,” Statesman Journal “Former teacher, Logan Storm, sentenced to prison for possessing child pornography and failing to appear in court,” press release for the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon “Jury finds former teacher Logan Storm not guilty of groping girls in public pool,” by Aimee Green for The Oregonian “Why did seven years pass before former teacher Logan Storm was tried for child molestation,” by Aimee Green for The Oregonian The “Weathering the Storm” episode of “Who The Bleep Did I Marry?” In this episode, Brandi pulled from: “Tyler Hadley’s Killer Party” by Nathaniel Rich, Rolling Stone “Best Friend ‘Ruined My Life’ When He Killed His Own Parents” by Sean Dooley, Jenner Smith, and Alexa Valiente, ABC News “Murder of Blake and Mary Jo Hadley” wikipedia.org (https://wikipedia.org/)

When Tyler and his Wife Brittney went to celebrate her birthday, they left their sweet baby boy with his parents.

Your online identity is quickly becoming more crucial to your personal and professional success than in-person communications. But most of us don’t understand this digital Wild West and the dangers that lurk around every corner. Most of us are unaware of the digital breadcrumbs that we leave behind with every post, and how easy it is for a person with malicious intent to harm us. In her book, Catching the Catfishers and on today’s episode Tyler Cohen Wood teaches us how to protect ourselves and our families from online predators.   Tyler Cohen Wood is a cyber-authority with 20 years of highly technical experience at the Department of Defense. As a Cyber-, Intelligence, National Security Expert, three-time Author, and Public Speaker, Tyler is relied on for her wealth of knowledge and unique insights. Tyler served with the Defense Intelligence Agency as a Senior Intelligence Officer where she developed highly technical cyber-solutions and made recommendations significantly developing and changing critical cyber-policies and directives affecting current and future intelligence community programs. She has helped the White House, DoD, federal law enforcement and the intel community thwart many cyber threats to the USA. Tyler’s expertise has made her a frequent guest and writer for both national and local television, radio, print, and online media. What is catfishing?  What do parents need to do to protect their children online? What can you do in this uncertainty to protect yourself from cybersecurity issues?  In this information-packed episode, we answer all these questions and more. Show Notes: [01:02] - When Tyler first started her cybersecurity career, she was doing digital forensics for The Department of Defense Cyber Crime Center.   [03:01] - Parents often post pictures of kids and information without privacy settings.  This can put kids in potential danger.   [03:57] - Catfishing is someone pretending to be someone they're not in order to get you to do something or to give them information.   [05:31] - In most catfishing cases there are some monetary or other things they are actually looking for.   [07:30] - These attacks are always based on some fear or urgency.  [09:55] - It is really concerning that kids are being targeted now more than ever.  [10:35] - Predators target kids through online gaming platforms and social media apps.  It is so important for parents to really know what their kids are doing, who they are talking to and what accounts they have.  [11:05] - It is good to talk with your kids and sit with them and see what they are doing.    [11:36] - What do parents need to do to protect their children online? [12:35] - Make sure you have accounts on all the same platforms that your kids do.  Often predators will start a conversation on Instagram and then move to an encrypted platform like TikTok, WeChat or WhatsApp. [13:43] - Once a predator has a target they will continue to go after that target.  If they see someone that they consider “easy prey” they are going to go after that.   [14:58] - One of the number one things you should be watching out for is if someone claims to be somebody, but they don’t have an online presence normal for that person.   [17:15] - A Home Incident Response Plan involves talking with your kids about what to do if you have problems online including downloading malware.   [19:06] - In a Home Incident Response Plan you want to include a paper copy of all of the numbers of people that you would need to call in the event of identity theft or other emergency and all of your accounts.  [21:53] - If your friend sends you something that seems out of character or they’re using words that they don’t typically use that is an indication of a potential scam. [22:12] - If anyone ever asks you for money on the spot just walk away.   [24:52] - Be really cognizant of what’s in the background of your photos.   [26:37] - You want to see what apps on your phone have access to.  They may have access to your microphone, video, or contacts. If they don’t need it then turn it off.   [28:12] - Fear, uncertainty, doubt, and urgency really get people in trouble.  Stop and take a breath before you react.  [30:26] - You have to take time right now to nurture yourself.   [32:08] - It is important to talk to our kids about what’s going on in the world right now.    [34:01] - Just be aware of what you're posting and what you’re doing and trying to be as paranoid as your be without being crazy paranoid.  Thanks for joining us on Easy Prey.

When Tyler requested an interview with novelist Emily St. John Mandel, he didn’t expect that reality would have in some ways become an eerie mirror of her latest books. And Emily didn’t expect that it’d be boosting sales: “Why would anybody in their right mind want to read Station Eleven during a pandemic?” she wondered to Tyler. Her reaction was pure bafflement until she found herself renting Contagion and thought about why. “There’s just such a longing in times of uncertainty to see how it ends.” Narratives, especially familiar ones, soothe us. It’s fitting then that her latest book has been suggested as “the perfect novel for your survival bunker.” She joined Tyler to discuss The Glass Hotel, including why more white-collar criminals don’t flee before arrest, the Post Secret postcard that haunts her most, the best places to hide from the Russian mob, the Canadian equivalent of the “Florida Man”, whether trophy wives are happy, how to slow down time, why she disagrees with Kafka on reading, the safest place to be during a global pandemic, how to get away with faking your own death, how A Canticle for Leibowitz influenced her writing, the permeability of moral borders, what surprised her about experiencing a real pandemic, how her background in contemporary dance makes her a better writer, adapting The Glass Hotel for a miniseries, her contrarian take on Frozen II, and more.

Nocebo is a noun that refers to a harmless substance that causes harm because it is believed to be harmful. You may already be familiar with the word placebo, an innocuous substance that people may believe, through the power of suggestion, has the ability to heal. A nocebo is the opposite of a placebo. It is a harmless substance that people may believe, through the power of suggestion, has the power to harm. Placebo has its origin in the Latin words for ‘I will please.’ Nocebo’s origin is in the phrase “I will harm.” When Tyler heard the news reports about the recalled aspirin, it turned those pills into a nocebo. Just because he believed the pills would harm him, they did.

The last Caribbean cruise for awhile just reached the dock and ASPN's Tyler Buckingham was on-board. What was it like to be on an extended cruise as the coronavirus slithered through the cracks and crevices of society and across the globe? Tyler was part of the "JoCo Cruise" staff from March 7 - 13, departing from Ft. Lauderdale to Half Moon Cay on to Santo Domingo and then to Turks and Caicos, or at least that was the plan. It changed. Get the inside skinny on the last cruise -- a sort of Comic Con at sea -- and what it was like to sail along as the world awoke to the specter of this new virus. There is a lot to talk about. The virus is and will continue to crush not just coastal tourism but the larger travel and leisure industry for some time, including Spring Break. Coastal conferences of all types are off too and it looks like we'll all be spending a lot more time at home. When Tyler set sail, this was not the show we expected to do when he returned. But, as it painfully evident, things have changed. Come aboard the MS Nieuw Amsterdam and inside the minds of the crew and passengers as the coronavirus swirled through the air around the globe. A surprising take on something we're all thinking about. Only on the American Shoreline Podcast.

Tamara K. Anderson interviews Jamie Middlecamp in the Stories of Hope in Hard Times Podcast. Jamie shares the 5 lessons she learned having a son with Down Syndrome. She also explains how God helped and gives IEP advice.Jamie’s BioWife and mother of three–her oldest has Down SyndromeMeme to her two treasuresLived most of her live in North West ArkansasAlso lived in a small town in North CarolinaWorked with children doing home therapy and as an autism specialistTeaches Pre-K at a Mother’s Day OutLoves serving in her churchLoves watching her kids to the things they love: baseball, soccer and Special OlympicsLoves the beach and has been swimming with dolphins and 4-wheelingJamie’s StoryAt the age of 18 Jamie found herself expecting. She married the father of her unborn baby and took very good care of herself during her pregnancy–just like overly cautious first-time mamas do. She had several ultrasounds throughout her pregnancy, and they were all normal.She gave birth to her first baby, an 8 pound 8 ounce boy who they named Tyler in February 1990. A couple of hours after he was born the medical staff took him back for routine tests. After about 4 hours they finally asked the nurse where their baby was and she told them that their pediatrician would be in soon to talk to them. At this point their minds just started going a thousand miles per hour wondering what could be wrong.Tyler’s DiagnosisWhen their pediatrician came in he told them that they had detected a heart defect in their son. So, they were going to run some more tests on him and have him go down to Arkansas Children’s Hospital. Four hours later, their pediatrician returned, this time with their baby and confirmed that he did have heart problems which included several holes in his heart. He also was missing a valve that was connecting his chambers.The doctor also told them that this particular heart defect is associated with Down Syndrome, and that they suspected that he had Downs but they couldn’t confirm it yet.Jamie confesses that as they told her all of this information, she was more concerned about the heart defect. She had been blessed to grow up with some friends who had a baby with Down Syndrome so that wasn’t as scary to her. She felt shocked and scared, of course and they started praying.Their doctors were very shocked that she had a Down Syndrome baby at age 18–that is usually something that happens to 40-year-old women. So there was also some mom guilt associated with her son having Downs–even though she knew she couldn’t have changed anything genetically, she still felt guilty like maybe there was something she could have done to help Tyler be different.So, they sent them home with their baby with specific instructions to immediately return to the hospital if his lips started turning blue. Of course this made them scared to even sleep at night.Arkansas Children’s HospitalThey were also supposed to go to Arkansas Children’s Hospital in three days. Once they arrived they found out that Tyler’s jaundice was bad enough that they had to put him under the lights for a week before they could even look at his heart problem or do genetic testing for Downs. This turned their one day trip into a three week stay!They finally got the genetic testing back and the doctor confirmed that Tyler did indeed have Down Syndrome. This doctor also told them that their son would never read his name, ride a bike, go to public schools; the list went on. This made Jamie mad and she decided this doctor couldn’t tell her that her child was NOT going to do something.They may have swallowed half the pill when he was born knowing that he had heart problems, but the diagnosis was like getting punched in the stomach again.At 8 weeks, Tyler had major heart surgery and the doctors repaired his heart. This was a time of seeing how blessed they were even in their scary moments.Lessons LearnedLesson #1 Count Your BlessingsWhile they were at the hospital they met another little girl with Down Syndrome who was three and she was on her 17th surgery and has spent every single birthday in the hospital. So, even in her valley, Jamie felt like God was showing her that things could be worse and she should continue to count her blessings.She tried to always find something good within all the bad.Tyler recovered well from his heart surgery. They were at the hospital for 2 months, which was pretty remarkable considering all the work he had done.Lesson #2 The Importance of Early InterventionShortly after they were home Jamie contacted the Benton County Sunshine School. This school is an early intervention school for kiddos with special needs and they also have typical children there as well so that the special needs kiddos can interact with peers their same age.So, the Sunshine School did a home evaluation on Tyler and he qualified to start receiving therapy. Tyler started home therapy when he was three months old to help him learn simple things like tongue thrusting, head control and other simple things. The Sunshine School was very excited to be able to work with him when he was so young because the sooner they get started on therapy, the better it is for these kids.Watching and helping the therapists actually influenced Jamie’s career change. After graduating from high school she wanted to be a hairdresser, but now she decided that she wanted to work with special needs children.When Tyler turned 3 and began preschool at the Sunshine School, Jamie began working there as a home therapist.Lesson #3 Determination to Prove them WrongWhen someone tells you your child won’t do something–prove them wrong!A funny story about the genetics doctor that told them their son would never be able to do anything—he wanted a one-year-checkup with Tyler. Tyler walked into his office and the doctor handed Tyler a ball. Tyler threw the ball back to him and hit him right between the eyes. Then Jamie told him, “Don’t ever tell me my child won’t do something!” And they left and never went back.This is the story of Tyler’s life. He is very determined and capable. When he wants to do something he is going to do it. He went on to ride a bike, play softball, and basketball with the Special Olympics, he graduated from high school, and he has attended college courses at the community collegeJamie acknowledges that not every Downs child will be the same. They are going to function at different levels. She encourages people to find and embrace their children’s strengths–whether they had special needs or not.Lesson #4 PrayerWhen asked what her prayers were like upon her son’s diagnosis with a heart problem and with Down Syndrome, Jamie had some really good tips. She said she had learned in her prayer life that it is important to thank God first before asking him for something.For example, the doctors told Jamie that it was a miracle that Tyler was such a big baby or his heart would never have survived a vaginal birth. She thanked God that Tyler was alive.When it came to asking, she prayed that God would help them be the best parents they could be. They were new parents, and they needed guidance. Jamie said they basically told God that He gave them this child, and now they wanted to know what to do.Lesson #5 The InfluenceGod has used Tyler to influence many people over the course of his life. Jamie became his advocate. She had to fight tooth and nail to get him integrated into the public school classroom. To this day she keeps in contact with several of his teachers who have messaged her and told her what a blessing it was to have Tyler in their classrooms because he taught them to be more patient.Special needs kiddos have the amazing ability to teach parents, teachers, and anyone with whom they interact lessons they wouldn’t have learned any other way.Lesson #6 “Bad Moments Don’t Make Bad Mammas”One of Jamie’s favorite Bible Study authors is Lysa TerKeurst and she wrote this book/Bible Study called “Unglued.”In this Bible Study Lysa said, “Bad moments don’t make bad mammas.” This has become Jamie’s life quote–especially now that she is dealing with a 12-year-old pre-teen. We are all going to make mistakes–especially in parenting, but this doesn’t make us bad mammas.AdviceThere have been many occasions when Jamie has been asked to come and talk to the parents who have just found they have a baby with Down Syndrome. Jamie got her first phone call when Tyler was about three-years-old.Here are some of the things she wanted parents of Down Syndrome Children to know:It is hard to articulate how much love these kids have and their joy for life.Is it easy? No, but she doesn’t think it has been too much harder than raising her typical children.The doctors are going to tell you all the negative things. But remember the possibilities and Tyler throwing the ball at his genetics doctor.She encourages them to get their child early intervention.Sometimes when she visits parents it is easy, and other times they are not ready to hear what she has to say. They are still processing everything–that is okay. It takes times.She usually takes Tyler with her when she visits these families because it is amazing to watch him and see how well he communicates, walks and interacts.See the potential in every child.Now Jamie doesn’t take the credit for how well her son does. She gives the credit to God and the Sunshine School for helping him learn the skills he needed. She wouldn’t have known to teach him sign language to help him communicate at first.Jamie is also quick to remind people that “not all children with the same diagnosis are going to function at the same level.”Additional AdviceA week into parenthood Jamie’s pediatrician gave her some very good advice. He told her that you can take a normal child and not love or nurture them and they will have challenges. He also told them that they could take their son and love him and nurture him and watch as he becomes the best that he can be.It is also normal to grieve the “expected child” they pictured in their mind but don’t have. Be gentle as you process any child’s diagnosis. Anger is also a normal part of the grief process.Be sure to get help and therapy along the way. There is are so many specialists and therapists there to help you. Don’t ever feel like you have to go through this on your own. You will probably forge friendships with these people that help you raise your child.What Advice give to Moms and Dads as they go to IEPs?An IEP is an Individualized Education Plan. It is a legal document drawn up for special needs kiddos that details how the school will accommodate them and help them be successful in the classroom setting.“You will forever be your child’s voice, their #1 fan, their biggest advocate.”Do not be afraid–be bold. Let your wants and your child’s needs be known. Be aware it is a big table and you are at one end and the teachers and therapists are all at the other end.Example: At one of Tyler’s first IEP meetings in the public school they wanted to label him “mentally retarded.” Jamie told the IEP team that his diagnosis was Down Syndrome, not mentally retarded. Basically the school would get more money if he was labeled mentally retarded. Jamie said she would NOT agree to this, and so it didn’t go on Tyler’s IEP.3. As a parent, you have rights in the IEP meeting. Know your rights. You don’t have to sign the IEP if you don’t agree with it.4. The IEP can also be changed.The school fought Jamie on getting Tyler a 1-on-1 aide in the public schools because they thought he should be in a self-contained special needs classroom. But Jamie stood her ground and got his IEP changed so that he had a 1-on-1 aide.5. Request a draft of the IEP before you to the IEP meeting. This way you know what is going on and you can hammer out potential problems beforehand.6. You can bring someone with you for support so that you can have someone with you on your side of the table.Other Tips or ThoughtsSiblingsJamie and her husband had a daughter about 2 years after Tyler was born. The thing that was hard and frustrating about that was the doctors going on and on about all the testing that they needed to do.She finally had to tell the doctors that if God wanted to give her another child with special needs that she was okay with it. All of their testing was not going to change her mind.The doctors freaked out even more when she chose to have her third child at age 35. She says they acted like she had lost her mind!Tip: Don’t be afraid to have more children after you have a special needs child. Both of Jamie’s subsequent children were typical children.Jamie’s daughter Bailey, even though she was two years younger than Tyler, was always more a big sister. She did get used to helping her mom. They tried to never treat their children any differently one from another.Jamie recently asked Bailey if she felt that she had asked too much of her growing up and having a sibling with special needs. Bailey responded, “Oh no, mom, you did fine.”The nice thing about siblings of special needs kiddos is they are really not afraid to help anyone with special needs. Their heart seem to be bigger and they see all children differently. They have more of a sensitivity to the special needs population and they can see the good in them.Favorite Bible VerseJeremiah 29:11 Is Jamie’s life verse. “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans for welfare and not for evil to give you a future and a hope.This verse gives her hope. She knows that God knows Tyler’s future. When she fears for the future, Jamie places her hope in the Lord.There are times when Jamie has felt hopeless and helpless, but when she let go and let God it all usually works out.Final ThoughtsJamie remembers bawling her eyes out at IEP meeting when the school told her that he son was at a 3-year-old level. At times like that she reminds herself that Tyler is doing more than the genetics doctor told her he would ever do.At age 29, Tyler now has a checking account, a cell phone, and he is doing great things.Jamie feels that the reason that he is doing so well is because she gave him to God as a child. She knows she is Tyler’s mother here on earth, but she knows he is really God’s child. So, she told God that He was going to have to help her know how to parent His child. As she gained that perspective, Jamie felt that some of the pressure came off of her as a mom. God was in charge.When have you felt God guiding you as you raise your child?Growing up it was easier to help him make decisions, but now that he is over age 18, they haven’t been able to get guardianship of Tyler. He is just too high functioning. At this point Jamie has had to turn it over to God because she can’t help him as much as she used to.Tyler especially enjoyed going to college when they were in North Carolina. They paired him up with a college student who was going into Special Education, and they would take him around to his classes.  He loved this!He has also been able to work at places like Pizza Hut and the movie theater.Suggested ResourcesGoogleJamie admits she is a Google nerd. If she or her family members ever get any kind of diagnosis, she loves coming home and reading all she can to learn about it.For those who have young children who have just received a diagnosis, Jamie encourages you to get early intervention as soon as possible. You can find out about this through the public school system or your pediatrician.The other recommendation is to build your tribe of people who will help you. Find others with the same diagnosis that you can chat with.Build a TribeSeveral months after Tyler was born they went to a 4th of July fireworks celebration. At that even she met 3 families that had children with Down Syndrome. She and one of the mothers really connected that night and they have become really good friends, and Tyler and their son have also become really good friends.So, don’t be afraid to reach out to other families and say, “Hey, I’m new to this and I need some help.”The beauty of learning about a diagnosis both online and by talking to others helps the fear of that diagnosis disappear. So, connect with others. Get human interaction. Don’t hole up and hibernate. Get involved with others.Encouraging Children to Reach Their Full PotentialAnother tip is to let your child get involved with whatever they are passionate about. Tyler was the manager of his high school’s basketball team. The final game of his senior year, they put him in to play, and EVERYONE was cheering for him–even the other team. There wasn’t a dry eye in that entire room! It was a sweet experience.That is the power of having these special needs kids. They can touch even the toughest teenagers. “They love so big!”That is probably what Jamie would love for every parent to know upon diagnosis, is that even though it can be so hard, these kids love so purely and so big! Those moments make it worth it.So, find your child’s strength and help them be the best they can be. Find what they love and go with it!Jamie’s Contact Infohttps://www.facebook.com/jamie.cobbmiddlecampJamie’s email is also available upon request.

John Driver had the privilege of writing a book with Tyler Trent. When Tyler was 15, he was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive form of bone cancer. When he was a 20 year old student at Purdue, he had beaten the cancer and had it return multiple times. At Purdue, his love for life, football, and the Lord became apparent and would soon be known by people around the world. Tyler became an honorary Purdue team captain. His story went viral on ESPN and his prediction of Purdue's upset over highly ranked Ohio State became a metaphor for Tyler's life. Stricken with cancer, barely able to move or speak, Tyler showed the world that, in Christ, when we are weak, He is strong. John Driver shares his perspective of Tyler's life as a pastor and author and as one of many who was inspired by Tyler's life.

Amy Anderton was concerned. Her boyfriend, Logan Storm, *seemed* like a good guy. He was a middle school math teacher. He talked a lot about trust and positivity. But something seemed off. So one day, when Logan left for work, Amy snooped through Logan’s stuff. That’s when she came across a thumbdrive. She plugged it into her computer, opened it, and was horrified by what she saw — hundreds of images of child pornography. Then, Brandi tells us about high school student Tyler Hadley’s massive party. When Tyler first told his friends about his plan to throw a party, they were a little skeptical.Tyler wasn’t the party-throwing type. His parents were super strict. But Tyler was determined to throw a party, and that’s exactly what he did. Tons of kids showed up from all over the sleepy town of Port St. Lucie, Florida. They had so much fun that they didn’t notice that Tyler’s house was a crime scene. And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases. In this episode, Kristin pulled from: “Still claiming innocence, Logan Storm sentenced to eight years in prison on child porn, failure-to-appear convictions,” by Helen Jung for The Oregonian “Logan Storm slips ankle bracelet, flees hours after verdict on child porn charge,” by Helen Jung for The Oregonian “Child porn convict dumps monitor,” Statesman Journal “Former teacher, Logan Storm, sentenced to prison for possessing child pornography and failing to appear in court,” press release for the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon “Jury finds former teacher Logan Storm not guilty of groping girls in public pool,” by Aimee Green for The Oregonian “Why did seven years pass before former teacher Logan Storm was tried for child molestation,” by Aimee Green for The Oregonian The “Weathering the Storm” episode of “Who The Bleep Did I Marry?” In this episode, Brandi pulled from: “Tyler Hadley’s Killer Party” by Nathaniel Rich, Rolling Stone “Best Friend ‘Ruined My Life’ When He Killed His Own Parents” by Sean Dooley, Jenner Smith, and Alexa Valiente, ABC News “Murder of Blake and Mary Jo Hadley” wikipedia.org

Tyler Marshall and K-9 Police Dog “Chase” are partners in the Waterloo Police Department. They have been together since day one. Both of them sacrifice enjoyment for the safety of an entire community. Chase is a working dog. He does not live the same life as dogs you may know. He lives in his own dog house in the backyard of Tylers house. He has limited contact with the family, limited treats and definitely limited high pitched "Good boy's." When Tyler throws the tennis ball Chase takes off full speed to track it down. Tyler says without yelling “Hold” and Chase will stop instantly with complete control and wait patiently. Tyler will then say “down” and from 30 yards away, Chase will lay down and wait. Tyler then allows Chase to retrieve the ball and return it to him. What is life like for these two? How are decisions made? What are some real stories of the work Chase has done and the abilities he has. Does chase know the difference between work time and play time? Does he take on different positions in the police force? Where does he come from? All that and more, leading up to a story where Chase tracked down a suspect and had them say “I’ll come out but don’t let that dog near me."

This week, the Grue-Crew fall prey to a cult of demon worshipers and avoid the trappings of a serial killer with dastardly intentions. Two new films are reviewed this week. The first is THE HERETICS from director Chad Archibald follows a young woman who is running from her past only to be abducted once again to face a fate worse than death. The second film is THE CLOVEHITCH KILLER from director Duncan Skiles tells a coming-of-age story where a young boy suspects a notorious killer's identity may reveal the monster to be too close to home.  Doc Rotten and Vanessa Thompson from Horror News Radio along with Jeff Mohr from Decades of Horror: The Classic Era share their thoughts about this week's awesome collection of streaming horror films.  Gruesome Magazine Podcast - Episode 043 The Clovehitch Killer - The Heretics The Heretics A notorious cult kidnaps a young girl, and sacrifice themselves by the light of the locust moon. The next morning the girl awakes, caked in dried blood and surrounded by corpses...but safe - or so she thinks. Years later, the locust moon is about to rise again and the girl is captured once more by a surviving member of the cult. She is taken to a remote cabin where she learns that a demon has been growing inside of her all these years, and before the dawn, it will rise. "From beginning to end, I was engaged in the story, so yeah, kudos to the director and everybody in The Heretics!" - Vanessa "It was a fun watch. I was in it the whole way. … It’s definitely worth a watch." - Jeff "Chad Archibald did a great job and I’m looking forward to more from him. … This has definitely solidified him as one of the talents to keep an eye on." - Doc Director: Chad Archibald Cast: Nina Kiri, Ry Barrett, Jorja Cadence Release: The Heretics available on Demand November 6 and DVD January 5 from Uncork’d Entertainment. The Clovehitch Killer A shocking revelation turns a teenage boy's world upside down in this chilling look at the evil that can lurk below even the most wholesome surface. Tyler Burnside is a Boy Scout, a volunteer at his local church, and the dutiful son of an upstanding, community leader dad. Only one thing troubles the quiet Kentucky town he lives in: the unsolved murders in which ten women were brutally tortured and killed by a psychopath known as Clovehitch-that rocked the community more than a decade ago. When Tyler discovers a cache of disturbing images in his father's possession, he begins to suspect that the man he trusts most in the world may be Clovehitch-and that his deadly rampage may not be over. With unrelenting tension, director Duncan Skiles crafts a picture-perfect vision of the all-American family-and then piece by piece rips it to shreds. "Two minutes in and I was in love with Dylan McDermott. I’ve never seen him do anything like this before. He’s almost completely unrecognizable because he so becomes this character." - Vanessa It’s not your everyday serial killer movie. I think the script and the acting and the direction are excellent at taking you on the journey through this film and keeping you guessing. I think Dylan McDermott, Charlie Plummer, and Madison Beaty really excel." - Jeff "This is a great surprise because it is not what the trailer suggests it is. It is a far richer, far deeper, far more interesting piece of film and the relationship between these characters is a big part of what makes this work." - Doc Director: Duncan Skiles Cast: Charlie Plummer, Dylan McDermott, Samantha Mathis Release: In Theaters, On Demand and Digital HD: November 16, 2018 from IFC Midnight

Tyler asked his mom if he could ride his bike to the park. "As long as you wear your helmet when you are riding, " she said. When Tyler got to the park, it was filled with people holding garbage bags. A lot of his friends were there, and so were his teachers.

I am definitely glad that Tyler's brother Austin reached out to me to get this interview set up. Thanks to Tyler for coming onto The Tennis Files Podcast! I really enjoyed speaking with him.
