<p class="has-medium-font-size">We caught up with fan favorite <strong>Tyler Berta </strong>from FOX&#8217;s <em>Paradise Hotel.</em> If you think you know this 24-year-old Chicago native simply by watching him on the short-lived dating show, think again. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">There is much more than meets the eye. He told <em>Feeling the Vibe</em> something he&#8217;s never told anyone ever before! Plus, even though he enjoys working out his body, he feels it&#8217;s very important to also workout his mind. He is a self proclaimed big nerd! I know, we were surprised too. Get this and so much more in our interview below.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">5 Facts You May Not Know About Tyler Berta from &#8216;Paradise Hotel&#8217;</h2>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>1)</strong> <strong>My Ethnicity</strong> <strong>is Very Deceiving</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img src="https://wud.tpx.mybluehost.me/website_9bd75fcc/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/tylerberta-family-1024x576.jpg" class="wp-image-43565"/><figcaption><em>Tyler Berta and His Family | IG: TylerBerta</em></figcaption></figure></div>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">I&#8217;m Slovak. Everyone can&#8217;t believe it. My dad has naturally dark skin, he tans very easily. So in Paradise, being out in the sun a lot, people made comments that I got the most color out of everyone. Obviously with Carlos being Latino, he got pretty dark but I get really really dark. The joke in my family is actually that I&#8217;m from the mailman. A lot of people think I am Latino. When Bobby Ray first met me, he thought I was a 1/4 black. I&#8217;ve gotten that before. Depending on my haircut and how tan I am, I&#8217;ve gotten 1/4 mix, Chinese, just everything. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">I&#8217;ve actually had some girls that are completely into it and some girls are completely turned off when they find out that I am just Caucasian. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">My dad is Slovak and my mother has German and Irish in her. My sister took after her so they both burn really easily. I took after my father.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">When I returned home from Paradise, I posted a family photo on Instagram. I got a comment that said, &#8220;wait, you&#8217;re white?&#8221; In Paradise, <strong><a href="https://wud.tpx.mybluehost.me/website_9bd75fcc/news/carlos-papi-sazon-confesses-why-he-kissed-tatum-on-paradise-hotel-exclusive/">we had Papi Sazon</a></strong>, but they were also calling me &#8220;Papi Chulo.&#8221; I said &#8220;<em>hey, I&#8217;ll take it.</em>&#8220;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2) I Fell Into Stock Trading</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img src="https://wud.tpx.mybluehost.me/website_9bd75fcc/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/tylerberta-stocks-1024x1024.jpg" class="wp-image-43566"/><figcaption><em>Tyler Berta &#8211; Stock Trader | IG: @TylerBerta</em></figcaption></figure></div>



<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">On <em>Paradise</em>, they briefly said my background was a full time stock trader. I&#8217;m actually back into it now, I&#8217;m self-employed. I was actually pre-law in college, with a paid internship at a law firm. I was all set to go to Law School, even took the LSAT. I found a mentor in the stock market who was in his mid-thirties and retired, who was very successful. I&#8217;m a big time hustler so I was game to try it. I had no knowledge. I researched some references he gave me online and read some books. I had beginner&#8217;s luck with it and started to make some money, so I thought, &#8220;<em>I&#8217;m going to try to run with this</em>.&#8221; </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">On the show, I&#8217;m &#8220;Mr. Finesse.&#8221; My buddies gave me that nickname. We&#8217;d be traveling and I&#8217;d &#8220;finesse&#8221; our way into a gym for free. Even before that my family would always say, &#8220;<em>you&#8217;d be a good lawyer</em>.&#8221; Somebody can tell me 2+2 is 4 and I&#8217;d say hold on, wait a minute. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">I was a big time athlete growing up and stock trading is a peak performance sport in its own way. You have to be on point mentally. A lot of traders are physically fit because you just have to have everything going. It&#8217;s a very tough game. 90% of traders lose money. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">The gym and fitness is a huge part of my life. <strong><a href="https://wud.tpx.mybluehost.me/website_9bd75fcc/news/carlos-papi-sazon-confesses-why-he-kissed-tatum-on-paradise-hotel-exclusive/">I just don&#8217;t market it like Papi Sazon</a></strong> and some of those guys from <em>Paradise</em> do. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3) I&#8217;m a Big Big Nerd</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img src="https://wud.tpx.mybluehost.me/website_9bd75fcc/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/tylerberta-nerd-1024x1024.jpg" class="wp-image-43567"/><figcaption><em>Tyler Berta Studying | IG: @TylerBerta</em></figcaption></figure></div>



<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">So I&#8217;m sitting here in my home office where I trade these stocks. I&#8217;ve got a Macbook, a Dell monitor, and a 50 &#8211; 60&#8243; Samsung flat screen. Then to my right here, I&#8217;m looking at many shelves of books. I&#8217;m a big time reader, big time learner. I want to be a big time grower. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">One of the lines I go by is, &#8220;<em>Life happens for us, not to us</em>.&#8221;</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">I&#8217;m constantly trying to improve and grow, physically and mentally. A lot of people neglect the mental side. Everyone wants to go workout in the gym but not grow their mind or work out their mind. It&#8217;s huge.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">I listen to a little Gary Vee and Tony Robbins. One that I&#8217;m listening to a lot lately is Ed Mylett. Ed Mylett has influenced me in a huge way. He is big time.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">4) I Love Helping People Through Cameo</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img src="https://wud.tpx.mybluehost.me/website_9bd75fcc/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/tylerberta-cameo-1024x1024.jpg" class="wp-image-43568"/><figcaption><em>Tyler Berta on Cameo.com | IG: @TylerBerta</em></figcaption></figure></div>



<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">I&#8217;m working with this business called Cameo. We record videos for people, sending messages out for birthdays, shoutouts, you name it. They can find me at <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="www.cameo.com/tylerberta (opens in a new tab)" href="http://www.cameo.com/tylerberta" target="_blank"><strong>www.cameo.com/tylerberta</strong></a> . I get a lot of people asking me how I deal with times when I&#8217;m down. I&#8217;m humbled and honored that people want to ask me how I deal with things like that. They assume if you&#8217;re on a reality show, with the cameras on 24/7, obviously you have to have some things going for yourself. I was surprised to get those questions. Going from a nerd into listening to Ed Mylett and building confidence just one year ago, to <em>Paradise Hotel </em>telling me they want me on the show, I would not have been able to do Paradise Hotel (if it wasn&#8217;t for the confidence building I went through.) Don&#8217;t get it twisted, I have always believed in myself, but improving self-confidence is something I work on and practice daily.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>I&#8217;ve actually never told anybody this before</strong> but I&#8217;ve been contacted by MTV&#8217;s <em>Are You The One?</em> and MTV&#8217;s <em>The Real World</em>. I actually got very very close on <em>The Real World</em>, but in a way self-sabotaged and took my way out. My family and even my best friends talked on FaceTime with people from <em>The Real World</em>. That&#8217;s how close I actually got to being on the show. One year ago though, there would be no way I&#8217;d be able to even go on <em>Paradise Hotel</em>. That is because I&#8217;ve become obsessed with trying to get to the next best version of me. I&#8217;ve always been a jock or popular guy in my hometown but everyone&#8217;s dealing with the biggest disease in the world right now &#8211; caring what everybody else thinks. It&#8217;s social media and Instagram comparison fever. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">One of the biggest things I learned is how to improve self-confidence. You can actually improve confidence. I&#8217;ve always been a confident guy but like I said, one year ago I don&#8217;t know if I would have been able to do <em>Paradise Hotel</em> and for sure I wouldn&#8217;t have been able to handle the way my cards were dealt on <em>Paradise Hotel</em>. (<strong><a href="https://wud.tpx.mybluehost.me/website_9bd75fcc/news/what-exactly-went-down-between-tyler-and-rosanna-when-ex-shailee-joined-paradise-hotel/">Tyler is referring to when producers brought his then ex-girlfriend Shailee into the show</a></strong>) I want to give a lot of people out there hope because you can improve self-confidence. If you&#8217;re not happy right now, you can improve your happiness. I&#8217;ve done it. I&#8217;m not an expert, but I&#8217;m a lot farther than I used to be. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">Confidence is not cocky or arrogant. If you&#8217;re self-confident, you keep the promises you make to yourself. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">I want to be of service in some sort of way and help people as best as I can. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">5) I Write in My Journal</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img src="https://wud.tpx.mybluehost.me/website_9bd75fcc/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/tylerberta-journal-1024x1024.jpg" class="wp-image-43569"/><figcaption><em>IG: TylerBerta</em></figcaption></figure></div>



<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">In <em>Paradise Hotel</em>, it was funny because we played a little game of High/Low. One of the questions was &#8220;up until what age does Tyler write in his diary?&#8221; I like to call it a journal, first and foremost. It was &#8220;16&#8221; &#8211; Higher or Lower? A lot of people said higher. To me, I&#8217;m not embarrassed by that at all. Carlos (Papi Sazon) was actually like, &#8220;<em>me too, me too.</em>&#8221; Believe it or not, one of the most consistent traits of successful people is journaling daily. You see that amongst big time CEOs and financially free individuals. So I definitely write affirmations in my journal, not just journaling how I feel. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">If you&#8217;re looking for a pick-me-up or a shoutout for a job promotion or birthday, <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Tyler is happy to make a Cameo for you (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.cameo.com/tylerberta" target="_blank"><strong>Tyler is happy to make a Cameo for you</strong></a>. He said, &#8220;<em>I have done several cameos where I address how I handle down times and such because everybody has them. Bottom line, I want to help people as much as I can.</em>&#8221; </p>
