Hindsight Is 20/20

On the first morning of 2021, Tyler (Tyzen) Drake turns the camera on himself for a Mindset Minute that doubles as an honest debrief of the year that just ended. He admits up front that his reflection on 2020 hasn’t been gentle — he’s been beating himself up about some of the decisions he made — but he catches the pattern in real time and reframes it: the self-judgment isn’t punishment, it’s a signal that the lessons haven’t crystallized yet. The whole episode orbits one word he keeps returning to: codify. Don’t let a year that hard simply escape by. Lock in what it taught you before it dissolves.

From there it becomes a generous, practical transmission for a kid this young — the totems on his wall (think positively, learn actively, play more, be yourself), the credo of the Growth Warrior, the reminder not to forget your roots. He hands the viewer his actual tool: Dan Sullivan’s free Impact Filter, walked through step by step, including the move he loves most — when the pen won’t move, go to the contrast, name the thing you don’t want, and watch what you do want rush in to fill the space. He closes having just run three filters himself — one personal, one for business, one for Roots To The Fruits, the passion side — and sends his love into a brand new start.

Moments

• “What’s coming up for me most is codifying. Locking in the lessons — what is it that’s been learned, what is it that I know I want to utilize and roll forward into 2021 and beyond.” — Tyzen Drake

• “There’s no need to actually be beating myself up, quote unquote, but there’s a reason why I’m doing that. I believe it’s because I’m needing to lock in these lessons and they just have not crystallized yet.” — Tyzen Drake

• “Think about the ways that you’ve grown. Think about the impacts that have been made. What is it that you appreciate more that you used to appreciate less?” — Tyzen Drake

• “Why it is that life is happening for us on a daily basis, versus against us.” — Tyzen Drake

• “Lock in the lessons that you have — not resolutions. Resolutions just fall off the bandwagon like they’re nothing.” — Tyzen Drake

• “If you ever feel like your pen is not moving and things aren’t just flowing for you — go to the contrast, go to the thing you don’t want. It’ll come very very quickly into what you do want.” — Tyzen Drake
