Summary
Attempted murder victim told the Brainerd Dispatch she believes her sixteen-year-old son saved her.
This is the news article detailing the event that would drastically change Tyler Zed's life and that of his family forever.
Growing up in a small town in Minnesota, Tyler and his two brothers filled their days with chaotic fun, from playing hockey to building forts to making their own home movies. The household was also full of addiction and abuse that ultimately led to their father attempting to murder their mother on Christmas Eve 2007.
Trailer Park Parable follows Tyler and his family before Christmas Eve 2007, the events leading to that night, and the years afterward. It trails the boys as they deal with varying degrees of PTSD and their own battles with addiction, before they eventually turned their creative coping mechanisms, like their YouTube channels, into million-subscriber successes.
From living in a trailer park to running a multi-million-dollar business, Trailer Park Parable highlights a true, American-dream story, countering a popular narrative that tells us you may as well not even try, the system is rigged against you.

Compelling
After watching Zeducation for a few years now, I was interested to meet the man behind Tyler Zed, it did not disappoint. He is living proof that you can have a tough childhood but end up incredibly successful later in life with true grit and determination. The last little chapter made me shed a tear.

outstanding
i was mostly amazed at how desmond, or Tyler as we know him, manager to open up about his past. i am truly appreciative for it and i gained a level of respect for how he dealt with it in the end.
i'm still not doing the "you laugh you lose" punishments though.

Honesty and integrity
I have waited for the audible version of this book with great anticipation and was not disappointed.
Hard to listen to at times but
so pleased Tyler narrated it himself and that the thoroughly decent human being he is shone through the story.
Thoroughly recommend a listen.
