From Humble Beginnings to Bold Advocacy: Tyler Copenhaver-Heath on Entrepreneurship and Social Impact
In this episode, Karen Nowicki hosts Tyler Copenhaver-Heath, founder of Glaive, who shares his journey from modest beginnings to advocating for small businesses. Known for helping “underdogs,” Tyler describes his passion for supporting entrepreneurs through Glaive, a platform designed to demystify regulatory hurdles for small businesses. Overcoming his initial reluctance for visibility, he launched “Bully This” and “Underdogs Bootstrappers Game Changers”, connecting listeners with honest insights on entrepreneurship and championing resilience.
Tyler also discusses “Foster Connections”, a nonprofit for foster youth, and Backlot Studios, his media company aimed at amplifying positive social narratives. Inspired by heroes like Scott Neeson, he advocates that leaders publicize charitable work to maximize impact and plans to establish a for-profit Arizona ranch to employ former foster youth. He closes by encouraging young entrepreneurs to approach self-growth like leveling up in a video game and becoming compassionate and resilient changemakers.
