In this episode of Inner Light, we speak with Tyler A. Smith — Ironman athlete, physical therapist, and founder of TriumFit Challenge — on his powerful pivot from ego-driven fitness to purpose-driven movement. Tyler opens up about his shift from chasing personal records to building community, philanthropy, and legacy through fitness. He shares how physical struggle can be a sacred path to self-awareness, spiritual depth, and service. From group workouts to charity fitness challenges, Tyler is creating a ripple effect of resilience and intention. This episode explores why strength alone won’t fulfill you — and what will.
