Born in South Africa and living in Dubai, sports fanatic Tylan left behind a life on the corporate ladder and co-founded Dead Man’s Clique - a brand centred around adrenaline-based activities, combat sports, fitness, tattoos and a thriving social environment.
As ‘Head of Danger’ at DMC - he threw himself into the deep end of absolutely everything, and life was going beautifully, until the 22nd of January, 2023, when he was involved in a horrendous motorcycle accident, resulting in very severe paralysis.
The last few years have undeniably been incredibly tough for Tylan, but the strong impression I get from him, is that he’s faced them all head on. He’s a really tough, strong looking guy, but there’s real warmth and kindness about him. Maybe most surprisingly, there’s also a wee bit of vulnerability, that he’s happy to show.
He’s quite open when he talks about how that day has shaped his life, and even though he’s well within his rights to feel aggrieved and to come across as quite despondent and morose, he’s absolutely anything but.
There are a lot of life lessons and his story, and this whole conversation, is quite allegorical. Some of the lessons are really obvious and not particularly enshrouded in any mystique, but it doesn’t make them any less profound.
This is a man who was told by surgeons that he had less than zero point zero one chance of ever standing on his own two feet again.
Well I watched a video of him walking, just the other day.
So that tells me… that we should listen to what the man has to say.
