About this episode

Tyler Dickerhoof discusses his upcoming book and the impact of childhood loss on emotional patterns and insecurities.

In this episode, Linda McKissack and Dana Gentry talk with Tyler Dickerhoof about his upcoming book release. Tyler shares the story behind his upcoming book The Things We Hide, rooted in the tragic childhood loss of his younger brother and the decades-long emotional patterns that followed. He unpacks how fear and insecurity show up through four common "walls," intensity, inactivity, insensitivity, and isolation, and how these behaviors quietly shape leadership, relationships, and self-perception. Tyler challenges the idea that we can eliminate our insecurities, instead urging us to recognize, own, and repeatedly face them.
