Episode 85: Pouring Into Others: The Ripple Effect of Giving Without Expecting

In this episode of the Keep Trucking Personal podcast, host Tyler Kivi reflects on one of the most powerful lessons he’s learned - both in life and in trucking: the impact of those who give without expecting anything in return. Tyler shares personal stories of the people who shaped him along the way - from Mike Foerst, who taught him discipline and accountability in the shop; to Derek, who opened doors and shared years of operational wisdom; to Kaitlyn, whose belief and honesty continue to fuel his growth; and Swan Webb, whose mentorship in data and analytics helped Tyler see the numbers behind the business in a whole new way. Through these real stories, Tyler reminds us that true success isn’t measured by recognition, paychecks, or prizes - it’s found in the quiet, consistent act of building others up. Whether you’re leading a team, running loads, or simply trying to be a better human, this episode is a call to give more, expect less, and keep the human side of trucking strong.
