• “Don’t Come Up. Send Security.” That Was the Last Text She Got From Her Husband

  In this deeply personal episode of the Rollercoaster Podcast, I sit down with Melissa Methven...a mother, breathwork facilitator, dental professional, and widow as she shares the raw and heartbreaking story of losing her husband Scott to suicide while on a family trip to Maui. What began as a vacation to fulfill a dying father’s wish quickly unraveled into Melissa’s worst nightmare.Melissa opens up about the quiet signs of addiction, the unimaginable trauma of that day, and the ripple effects it had on her and her two young children. She speaks with unflinching honesty about grief, guilt, and the isolation that often surrounds men struggling in silence. But this isn’t just a story of loss, it’s one of healing, faith, and rebuilding.We talk about how she found breathwork, leaned into community, and slowly learned to move through the pain rather than avoid it. Melissa’s journey is a lifeline for anyone touched by addiction, suicide, or grief.If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to survive the unimaginable, this conversation is for you.Key Moments:0:01 Melissa Methven opens up5:54 Hope Before the Darkness7:25 My Husband's Sudden Shift10:15 The Emergency Response13:01 Waiting for the News21:07 The Moment He Passed24:00 My Son Said He Didn’t Want to Live28:00 Midnight Grief & Balcony Phone Calls31:15 Discovering Breathwork40:17 Returning to Routine47:02 Moving to Arizona56:58 Breaking the Silence in Dentistry1:01:19 Addiction and the Mask of Success1:05:52 The Power of Community and Vulnerability1:08:21 Her Final PleaGuest Info:IG - https://www.instagram.com/melissa_gratitude/?hl=enWebsite - https://www.melissagratitude.life/-Where to find Tyler Hall: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tylerchall/ Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/the-tyler-hall-archives-7018241874482122753/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/sirTHALL Work with Tyler: https://www.tylerchristianhall.com/

• They Told Him His Golf Brand Would Fail Now It’s Taking Over The PGA Tour

  I sat down with Jason Richardson, founder and CEO of Bad Birdie, the boldest brand in golf, to talk about what it really takes to build something that matters. From launching shirts out of his tiny LA apartment to turning heads with wild prints and a wild vision, Jason has built a golf brand that’s not just different, it’s redefining the entire culture.In this episode, we go deep. Jason opens up about fatherhood, the emotional weight of building a brand people feel, and what it means to “stay bad” in a world that rewards playing it safe. We talk Shark Tank, near meltdowns, betting on yourself, and why the brand is the business.You’ll also hear some hilarious stories, get a behind-the-scenes look at collabs with Taco Bell and YouTube stars like Micah Morris, and learn what Jason would build if Bad Birdie had its own video game or country club.This conversation isn’t just about golf or apparel; it’s about showing up differently, taking risks, and creating something unforgettable.Key Moments:0:00 Why Brand Is Everything5:09 The Birth of Bad Birdie10:00 The Core of a Great Apparel Brand13:14 Brand Is a Feeling, Not Just a Logo18:04 Behind the Scenes of Shark Tank24:55 The Bad Birdie Reserve Line28:16 From Polos to Golf Bags33:36 YouTube Golf & Micah Morris39:10 Could You Win the Masters From the Green?42:39 What Would a Bad Birdie Country Club Look Like?45:50 Would You Rather: Tiger Woods or a Solo 65?50:50 What’s Next for Bad BirdieGuest Info:IG: @badbirdiegolf (https://www.instagram.com/badbirdiegolf/)Website: https://badbirdiegolf.com/-Where to find Tyler Hall: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tylerchall/ Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/the-tyler-hall-archives-7018241874482122753/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/sirTHALL Work with Tyler: https://www.tylerchristianhall.com/

• My Childhood Was Stolen. My Future Almost Was Too Until God Interrupted | Daniel Goulding

  In this episode, I sit down with my good friend Daniel Goulding, pastor, father, and survivor for one of the most raw and redemptive conversations I’ve ever had on the show. Daniel shares his journey of being sexually abused as a child, burying that trauma for years, and the chaos that followed from addiction and self-destruction to a near-suicide attempt in a drug dealer’s bathroom. But this story isn’t just about pain, it’s about grace, healing, and transformation.Daniel opens up about the moment everything shifted: when he cried out to God, not knowing if He was even real, and felt peace for the first time. We explore the beauty of redemption, what it means to forgive the unforgivable, and how he went from broken addict to preaching the Gospel and baptizing dozens at his own church.If you’ve ever doubted God’s presence in your darkest moments, this one's for you. Daniel’s story is proof that there’s always a way back.Key Moments:4:40 How we met and became friends8:04 How trauma shaped Daniel14:00 Wrestling with forgiveness as a Christian18:55 A near-death experience32:09 The moment Daniel almost ended his life37:16 How he encountered God for the first time42:00 Discovering Jesus through unexpected moments46:20 Preaching for the first time51:05 Why Daniel preaches the way he does59:56 Why Daniel started Echo Church1:05:46 The story of Nehemiah and the call to buildGuest Info:IG: https://www.instagram.com/danielmgoulding/Website: https://www.echoes.church/#TRAUMA #god #abuseprevention -Where to find Tyler Hall: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tylerchall/ Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/the-tyler-hall-archives-7018241874482122753/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/sirTHALL Work with Tyler: https://www.tylerchristianhall.com/

  This is the most vulnerable conversation I’ve ever shared on the podcast. My guest, Liz Hartke, opens up about the day she gave birth to her stillborn son and nearly lost her own life. What unfolded was a series of medical oversights, a last-minute surgery, and a divine moment of surrender that changed everything. Liz shares the harrowing details of hemorrhaging alone in an ER, the nurse who saved her life by speaking up, and the spiritual clarity she gained when she thought she wouldn’t make it home to her children.This episode is about more than trauma. It’s about faith in the fire, how God meets us in our darkest hour, and what it truly means to surrender your will.
