EP. 22 Developing Mental Toughness: Life lessons from the baseball field with Tyler Rahmatulla

Today, we have a VERY special guest…Tyler Rahmatulla, Stephanie’s son and Kayla’s brother!

Tyler is a husband, father of 3 boys (and another one on the way), and former professional baseball player. He played all through his childhood in to his adult years – from Mater Dei High School, UCLA and ultimately playing for the St. Louis Cardinals’ minor league teams. In this episode, he talks with us about the life of a collegiate and professional athlete and how it demands a mental toughness in order to be successful.

 Throughout Tyler’s baseball career he worked with some incredibly wise mentors, coaches and fellow athletes. Along the way he learned lessons of “mental toughness” that he put to use on the field and continues to implement in his daily life today.

Among those mentors was Ken Ravizza, a sport psychologist, who played a major role in changing Tyler’s mental game for the better. He consulted with countless athletes and helped them reach peak performance  - all starting with their mind.

 “Destructive little voices in your head are often fueled by destructive emotions. Try to turn off your emotions and think logically”- Ken Ravizza

Some topics we cover:

  • Confidence vs conceit
  • Preparation / planning
  • Control the controllables
  • Being Present

Tyler also hosts a podcast: The Brushback Baseball Podcast

It covers all things baseball, baseball, and more baseball. Tyler and co-host David Klein (avid Dodgers fan, stat memorizer, and semi-pro baseball historian) are at opposite ends of the baseball spectrum but use this dialog to share each unique perspective. They aim to share weekly discussions of MLB news, life/mindset of a ballplayer, the business side of baseball and interviews with players, coaches, and everybody in between.

You can find them on Apple Podcasts, SpotifyYouTube, & Instagram.

    My name is Kárpáti Sebestyén. I’m 61 years old, a retired Hungarian medical doctor, and earlier this year, I went through one of the most difficult experiences of my life.

    I was the victim of a carefully orchestrated investment scam that drained me of everything I had—$715,000, my entire life savings. It was more than just financial loss. It was shock, disbelief, and the overwhelming fear that everything I had worked for was gone forever.

    Just when I thought there was no way out, I came across a company called SPYHOST. I was skeptical at first—after all, I had just been scammed—but something told me to give it a chance. And to my absolute amazement, they recovered every cent I lost within 48 hours.

    It still feels unreal. In a matter of days, my despair turned into relief. Spyhost didn’t just recover my funds—they gave me back peace of mind, dignity, and a second chance at life.

    If you’ve lost money to a crypto or digital asset scam, please don’t give up. There is hope. I can’t recommend Spyhost enough—they were a godsend when I needed it most.

    You can reach them here:
    Email:[Spyhost@cyberdude.com]
    WhatsApp: ‪+1 (228) 313‑3152‬
    Website:[spyhost.wixsite.com/spyhost]

    I don’t usually share personal stories like this, but if it helps even one person avoid what I went through—or gives someone the hope to fight for what they’ve lost—then it’s worth it.

    Don’t lose hope. Help is out there.

    I’m a victim of legacyfxglobalmarkets scam which all started with just a deposit of £400. The next deposit I was forced to pay quickly turned to £1,500 and every time I try to cash out they ask me for more to cover for taxes and other complicated government fees. My profits had accumulated to £117,000 as it would show on my mobile application but I could not access it. By the time I came to my senses that the company is illegitimate, l had already lost a total of £50,000. I researched about the company to confirm my fears and I came across a page where other people who had lost money to them shared their stories. Among the comments was from an elderly guy who shared how he got his profits back through the help of Mr James a genius recovery/hacker. I decided to try my luck and presented my case to him, which they were already familiar with and so I got back everything within 24 hours. I’m writing to confirm that Mr james is absolutely functional. If by any means you’re also a victim of online scam kindly send a message accross to them via: jamesmckaywizard at gmail dot com or via what’sapp // [+3165] 7446248.. And chat with them DIRECTLY..

    As a seasoned business owner, I’ve always approached investments with caution. So when I decided to diversify into cryptocurrency, I researched thoroughly and chose what looked like a legitimate platform. The site was polished, the interface smooth, and the reviews convincing. I invested $82,000 and began trading. For a few days, everything seemed normal my account showed gains, and I received regular updates. But when I tried to withdraw, the problems started. My request was delayed, my account was locked, and support went silent. Soon after, the entire website vanished.I felt blindsided. A colleague referred me to Astraweb, a firm that recovers stolen crypto. I contacted them the same day and was quickly connected with a recovery expert. They reviewed my case, analyzed the transactions, and confirmed I’d been targeted by a known scam network. Astraweb’s team began tracing my funds through the blockchain. Despite attempts to hide the trail using mixers and multiple wallets, they located the final destination a wallet on a small exchange overseas. Within two days, Astraweb submitted a legal freeze request. Thanks to their swift action and legal network, my entire $82,000 was recovered within five days. I was relieved and impressed. Astraweb was fast, professional, and transparent throughout. They also helped me secure my wallets and avoid future scams.
    If you’ve been scammed by a fake exchange, don’t wait. The faster you act, the better your chances.
