Setback or Set Up for Success? Tim on Traumatic Brain Injury, Faith & Building Stronger413 Coffee | Undiscovered Entrepreneur
A rodeo champion’s horse went down in a steer-roping practice, and Tim’s life changed. There was no broken bone and no bruise, but he had a traumatic brain injury. Two weeks in ICU and four months of rehab later, he came home and kept going.
Today Tim runs a coffee business, speaks at rodeo churches, and says his injury was a set up for success. In this conversation with Skoob, he shares what stops most people from starting, why Edison’s thousand “failures” matter, and the one thing he tells every new entrepreneur: keep your head down and keep moving forward.
If you’re afraid of failing, recovering from a setback, or wondering whether to try one more time, this episode is for you.

🧠 WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
Tim’s answer to what stops entrepreneurs is simple: fear of something not working grips people so hard they never try. His response is that it doesn’t matter how many times you get knocked down, only that you get up stronger.
He backs it up with his own story. He tried 20 to 25 roasters before landing on the coffee he sells now, and he shares Edison’s lesson that a thousand failed attempts were just a thousand ways not to make a light bulb. Skoob adds the gold miner who sold his claim one shovel short.
