#67 Taylor Ryan: Breathe Now or Pay Later

In this episode, we sit down with Taylor Ryan, founder and creator of TilenBreathe. A man who’s not just talking about change in the construction industry, he’s building it.

Taylor’s journey starts where many great stories do, on the tools. As a tiler, he saw firsthand the daily risks most tradies ignore, especially the silent killer: silica dust.

But instead of accepting it, he challenged it.

We dive deep into:

• How his tiling background shaped his mindset and problem-solving approach
• The moment he realised silica dust wasn’t just “part of the job”
• The creation of TilenBreathe and why it’s more than just a product
• The brutal realities of launching something new in a traditional industry
• The mental pressure of wearing every hat, founder, operator, marketer, problem-solver
• Why protecting your lungs isn’t optional, it’s everything

This isn’t just a conversation about tools.
It’s about responsibility.
It’s about leadership.
And it’s about making decisions today that your future self will thank you for.

Because at the end of the day, you can’t build a career if you can’t breathe.
