EVOLVE 43: Courage and Determination Through Over 90 Surgeries with Tyler Ritchey, MBA and CEO of Pongratz Orthotics and Prosthetics

Tyler Ritchey was born and grew up in Chandler, Az and is the 2nd oldest of 6 siblings. Life was turned upside down for Tyler following a motor vehicle accident where he was struck while on foot, crossing a highway in Mexico City at the age of 21. The vehicle was traveling over 80 mph and took Tyler over 300 feet. He immediately lost his left leg below the knee, the use of his left arm and spent several days to over a week on life support and in a coma. He would spend the next month in the ABC hospital in Mexico, undergoing multiple surgeries to place orthopedic plates and steel rods to help stabilize him for the return flight back to Az.

Once home, Tyler continued to undergo many different surgeries, from joint replacements and reconstruction to several different kinds of plastic surgery that helped with road rash along his scalp and scarring deformities that restricted movement. Tyler has since undergone over 90 different surgeries and procedures these past 20 years.

He earned his degree in Prosthetics Degree from Northwestern University, has his MBA, and is finishing his Doctorate in Business. He was just recently appointed as CEO over Pongratz Orthotics and Prosthetics, who ironically, first met Tyler 2 months after his accident helping him learn to re-walk after they delivered his first prosthetic leg. He and his wife Kristi who is also from Arizona, currently live in Gilbert and have 4 children, Emma, Hailey, Lucy and Seth. He loves spending time with his family, in the gym, on walks, listening to 80’s music and watching movies with friends and families.

Listen to this amazing episode as Steve Cutler and W Myles Reilly talk to Tyler about the grit and determination it takes to keep moving forward while battling the pain that comes with amputation and injury.

EVOLVE 40: Going To Law School After 40 w/Emily Mabey

Emily Mabey is an attorney who, went to law school at age 40. A mother of 4 she is now a practicing attorney and former freelance writer and editor. 

 

Emily says that “for as long as I can remember, I have liked stories—mostly stories about real people. I remember my mom getting frustrated that I didn’t want to read all the fantasy books my sisters were reading. She thought it meant I didn’t like to read. But then once she told me, “Emily, I have finally realized you are reading a lot—you’re just reading all the magazines in the bathroom.” She was right: National Geographic,  Sports Illustrated,Time, Newsweek, People. That’s what I was reading. From then on she made sure we had lots of good magazines, and suggested historical fiction or non-fiction to me instead of fantasy.

 

I always liked to ask a million questions. It was insatiable with me. I felt like I was good at conversation. (Which I always felt was a weird talent, because how do you show that to the judges in the Miss America pageant?! Hold fake conversations with manaquins? That’s how I thought about it when I was younger.) And people said I liked to argue, though I always felt indignant about that. How unfair! I just like to discuss things! People always said I would be either a journalist or an attorney. I hesitate to say I always liked to write, because I feel like people always misunderstand that. They think that means you find it fun to sit down and write. I know few people who do. In fact, it’s an agonizing experience for a lot of writers. It’s more like I always felt a need to write. It was like if I didn’t write an experience down, in my journal, or in a note to someone, or nowadays a text or email or journal app, I didn’t yet understand what had happened. It’s as if I process by writing, or at least by thinking the words aloud in my head. 

 

Anyway, that is all prelude to explain part of the reason I am where I am today. Why I have evolved the way I have.

 

I felt that need to write, but I didn’t know what to do with it. When I was in the groove, I was good: I had one high school teacher call me in and accuse me of plagiarism for a paper about The Scarlet Letter. She didn’t think a student could have written it. But when I wasn’t in the groove, I wasn’t in the groove. I didn’t want to focus on writing, or major in it. I thought this meant I wasn’t a real writer. My ideas only flowed when there was a real story to tell, or ideas to discuss. I wasn’t someone who sat down and wrote fiction for fun. That made me feel like an imposter. In college I majored in and loved American Studies. It was a really broad field that gave me all kinds of things to think and read and write about, from history to government to literature. But when I graduated from college, I still felt that imposter syndrome. I know most people thought I would go to law school. But I really fought that idea. I didn’t want to go do what everyone expected me to; I didn’t feel like anyone really understood me. I think we all feel that way. I decided if I ever wanted to know if I really had the stuff as a writer, I had to study it in grad school. I wanted to challenge my creative side once and for all. So I put together a portfolio and applied for two writing masters programs in Boston—one in journalism and one in creative writing. When I toured the programs, I realized my lack of desire to confront people or make them uncomfortable ruled out the journalism program:) 

 

After my masters in Writing and Publishing from Emerson College (I graduated in 2000; there were some experiences there that had a profound effect on me), I worked as a freelance writer and editor for about 15 years. I think it was a really important part of my life. I learned what I liked and didn’t like about the writing world. It was kind of a crappy time to enter it, because it was a time when long-form journalism and the world I loved was being overtaken by bloggers with no experience. Pay was way down, and desire for quality or experience was way down. It was discouraging. I did a lot of editing and found I had a real knack for it; but I was never satisfied. I wrote a lot of bios of people, and also felt dissatisfied. Ultimately, over many years, I realized what I wanted was a voice and a reason to have one. I was purpose-driven. It was a flexible gig for a mom, but I was never satisfied.

 

Throughout this time, I was raising a family as the primary caregiver. We were living through some really tumultuous times in that regard. We had two bio kids, then a baby who died, then adopted two girls from Ethiopia, and then had a failed adoption, then adopted a boy at birth from Flint, Michigan. By 2015 and early 2016, I felt like I had lived through hell. I was facing the fact that, after six gut-wrenching years, hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars in counseling, our adoption was failing. Our girls did not want to live with our family. My perception of myself as a mother was in the toilet. As I got used to the idea that I would have to move out of their way and let them have another path, I started looking earnestly for a more fulfilling path for myself outside of home. I needed to separate my love for my kids from my desire to be fulfilled. Not put that pressure on my family. I am a spiritual person, so I prayed my guts out while I researched everything. I thought I wanted a PhD—maybe to teach. I kept thinking of one line from a talk in my church about mothers banging on the windows of heaven. That was me. I was banging. I was desperate for answers for help. Law school had always been in the back of my mind, but I had fought it. I thought it wasn’t creative enough. I had taken the LSAT 10 years earlier, but I had never felt good about going to school and had let my score expire. Then one day I realized, “I need to find my people. A PhD is lonely and I need a cohort.” I decided to apply, but told my husband not to pressure me to go. I studied for and took the LSAT, and got a significantly lower score this time. I didn’t even take the LSAT until after the application deadline had passed. But my parents and a friend encouraged me to apply anyway, as a trial run. So I submitted my application in mid-July. I got an acceptance call from the dean of admissions over the phone while I was driving kids to soccer—less than a week after I applied! I had just a month to prepare before law school started! At the time I had five kids at home, with my youngest being 5 and my oldest 16 (I know:) Different from the 4 total I have now). 

 

My first day was two days after my 40th birthday. It changed my life and fulfilled me in so many ways I could never have anticipated.”

EVOLVE 39: Emotional Accountability w/Jarom Smith

Jarom Smith says “I'm a former Hollywood producer turned professional keynote speaker and I've never really looked back. I grew up in San Diego, CA.

I entered into the film business around the age of 24, gained a bit of an audience, started working with a youth mentoring company. After realizing the strong need for emotional accountability with youth and adults, I created content which picked up some steam. I've since been featured in Forbes as an expert in Leadership and emotional intelligence, and also a featured speaker in Yahoo Finance.

My work has been reviewed by celebrities and thought leaders, and I will also be taking the stage at TED X very soon. I've been speaking for 6 years professionally and opened a one on one coaching program in January.”
