From Tax Codes to Secret Agents: The Literary Pivot of W. Kenneth Tyler, Jr.

What does it take to completely reinvent your career after nearly 40 years? In this episode, we sit down with W. Kenneth Tyler, Jr., a semi-retired CPA who spent decades writing "persuasive prose" to the IRS before pivoting to his true passion: storytelling.

Kenny joins us to pull back the curtain on his journey from corporate accounting to becoming an award-shortlisted indie author. We dive deep into his debut historical fiction espionage caper, Hunting the Red Fox—a thrilling tale that weaves together World War II military spying, old Hollywood glamour, and the professional golf circuit.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The Spark: How a chance conversation with a former Major League Baseball player set off a decade-long writing journey.
• The Reinvention: Turning 38 years of business ownership and a marketing MBA into a toolkit for launching a book.
• The Process: What it’s really like to transition from rigid tax compliance to creative fiction.
