The Riderflex Podcast: Inspiring & Hiring

Tyler Watson joined LinkedIn 11 years ago as a 21-year-old shoe store manager seeking a "real" career. Initially using the platform for research, he connected with executives and learned from their paths. Three years ago, he began sharing his personal story—dropping out of high school, becoming a father at 16, battling addiction, and overcoming jail and job losses. This transparency transformed his professional interactions, leading to richer conversations and new opportunities. Tyler's experience spans roles such as SVP of Sales at Dan-O's Seasoning, where he transitioned the company from a DTC startup to a disruptive challenger brand, Vice President of Sales at The UPS Store, and City Commissioner for Moorland, Kentucky. His journey from washing dishes to thriving in retail management and eventually becoming a sales leader highlights his resilience and dedication to continuous self-improvement. Tyler is now focused on building disruptive brands and inspiring others with his story.

Dan-O's Seasoning, based in Louisville, Kentucky, is revolutionizing the spice industry with its low-sodium, zero-calorie seasoning blends made from all-natural ingredients like garlic, onion, lemon and orange peel, rosemary, and sea salt. Founded by spice guru Dan Oliver, Dan-O's has quickly become the fastest-growing seasoning brand in the US. The seasonings are vegan-friendly, Keto-friendly, and low in carbs, making them versatile for use on protein, vegetables, carbs, herb-rich dressings, and marinades. The brand's journey began in 2017 at state fairs and flea markets, where Oliver's persistence and the memorable compliment from a customer—"this is Dan good"—ignited his innovative approach to marketing. Today, Dan-O's is celebrated for its flavor-packed blends that use only the finest herbs and spices, embodying Oliver's high energy, creativity, and determination.
