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.

    Bitcoin Recovery Testimony – From a Retired pilot

    Earlier this year, I went through one of the most stressful experiences of my life. I lost $605,000 to what turned out to be an elaborate investment scam. It started like most of these things do — with a convincing platform, promising high returns through crypto staking and arbitrage. The interface looked polished, the support team responded quickly, and for a while, everything seemed to be running smoothly. I even saw some small early returns, which gave me confidence to invest more.

    Then, just like that, it was gone. The platform stopped updating. Emails bounced back. My dashboard froze. And I realized the terrifying truth: I’d been scammed.

    The feeling that followed was a mix of disbelief, shame, and helplessness. I thought my money was gone for good. But after doing some research and reaching out in online forums, I came across a company called CLOUDSTRIKE CYBER Security Company. At that point, I had nothing to lose, so I reached out to them via email at [Cloudstrikecyber@gmail.com]

    To my surprise, they responded quickly and professionally. From the very beginning, their team made me feel heard. They didn’t make any exaggerated promises, but they were confident they could help. I shared everything I had — wallet addresses, transaction records, emails, even screenshots of my chats with the scammers.

    Cloudstrike got to work immediately. They used advanced blockchain tracing tools to follow the trail of my stolen crypto. Even though the scammers tried to cover their tracks by moving funds through different wallets and crypto mixers, Cloudforce’s team managed to untangle the web. They identified where the money had gone and who had control over the wallets.

    They then coordinated with a network of cryptocurrency exchanges and legal advisors to file the necessary reports. Through their efforts, the suspicious accounts were flagged and frozen. Over the next few weeks, they were able to recover the entire $605,000. The funds were transferred back to my wallet securely, in verified stages. I received constant updates, and they explained every step of the process clearly, which gave me real peace of mind.

    Even after the funds were returned,Cloudstrike went a step further. They helped me do a full security audit, showed me how to better protect my assets going forward, and gave me practical tips on avoiding similar scams in the future.

    To say I’m grateful is an understatement. I never thought I’d see that money again. What impressed me most wasn’t just their technical skill, but their honesty and professionalism throughout the process. They treated my case with urgency, respect, and care — something you rarely find these days.

    If you or someone you know has fallen victim to a crypto scam, I can’t recommend Cloudstrike Cyber Security Company enough. They are the real deal.

    My name is Michael, and I want to share how Astraweb helped me recover a large portion of my stolen crypto after I was scammed by a fake exchange. I had invested $87,000 into what looked like a professional trading platform. The site had a sleek design, live charts, and even fake reviews that made everything seem legitimate. But the moment I tried to withdraw my funds, everything went silent the support vanished, and so did my crypto. I felt sick. That money represented years of savings. I started researching recovery services and came across Astraweb. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but from the first contact, they were professional, responsive, and discreet. Their team immediately got to work, tracing the blockchain activity tied to my transaction. Within hours, they had mapped out a network of shell wallets used by the scammers. Thanks to their fast action and legal partnerships, Astraweb managed to freeze $62,000 of my stolen funds before it was laundered through crypto mixers. Not only did they recover a major portion of my investment they also helped shut down the fraudulent exchange and provided evidence to support legal action against those involved. I’m beyond grateful. Without Astraweb, I would have lost everything. They didn’t just promise results they delivered. You Can Reach Out To Them If You Are Having Similar Issues:
