He realized that he needs to gain it back and it drives him to get out there and make his life better. This guy makes up the lost time, tries new things, and shifts his life on the right path. Later, Aaron started flipping houses and succeeds. But because of unplanned actions & uncontrolled spending on the wrong things, they blew up the opportunities. They hit the bottom but during his down moments, Aaron swallows his pride from being a millionaire to doing manual jobs like what a carpenter typically do, and became an Uber driver. He decided to do something and not just be lazy to go back in the path. They hold their faith and their spiritual part stronger and it really helps them get up and back up. Now, Aaron and his wife Kaleena have over 1,000 rental properties and looking forward to adding more. The couple makes sure they would not miss the second chance; they spend their money on the right thing, donating a portion of their income to the church, and building more memories with his family.

In this episode, we have a guest who I'd say is one of the best examples of strength and courage. Someone who was born with a disability that others could've easily used as an excuse to stay stuck. We are joined by a keynote speaker and host of the Blind Ambition Podcast, Aaron Golub. Tune in to listen to a very inspiring story of hope, determination, and a strong sense of self-belief. Aaron became the first legally blind athlete to play football in a Division 1 game when he was at Tulane University. He was a captain in his senior year and went on to become an NFL free agent. Aaron never let his limited vision get in the way of his success. His grit, determination and effort enabled him to earn a spot on the Tulane team, and the respect of his teammates, coaches and fans. Aaron Golub delivers inspiring and actionable keynotes to drive breakthrough performance through change and challenge.

Join me for episode 41 where we talk with my client Aaron about his experience with MAP sessions, a method of advanced neural retraining, for emotional trauma from childhood experiences. The MAP Method can address memories of all kinds including the emotional and the physical, for example trauma from injuries or surgeries, and this includes unconsciously held memories. Hear about what it is like to be in a MAP session, the emotional, mental and physical benefits he experienced after 3 sessions and why he would recommend the method to others. In this episode we discuss: - How Aaron learned about the MAP Method and why he decided to try it. - Aaron's experience with talk therapy and how it compares with MAP. - How working with a childhood trauma memory in a MAP session changed his relationship to it and unburdened him in more ways than he expected. - The framework we use in MAP sessions and how clients are initiated to the method. - Why we choose an emotional topic for the introductory 60-minute session. - What we mean when we talk about “neutralizing” memories. - How MAP allows us to harness the power of the subconscious to neutralize painful emotions around a traumatic memory and all the associations to it. - How working with trauma memories, disempowering beliefs or unwanted emotional responses can change mental, behavioral and physical patterns. - The emotional, mental and physical shifts Aaron noticed after three sessions. - The science that underlies the MAP Method and recommended resources for learning more. - How your subconscious rewires itself during a session and the safeguards that make the method easy and safe. - How you can use the MAP Method on yourself after the first session. - Why Aaron recommends the MAP Method to others. Don't miss episode 40 where we hear Helen's story about using the MAP Method to resolve chronic pain from an autoimmune condition and food sensitivities. For more information on the Mind ReMAP approach and services, please visit MindReMAPforHealth.com to sign up for your introductory MAP session or a free 15-minute consultation by phone.

On this edition of Parallax Views, Aaron Good, a protégé of previous Parallax Views guest Peter Dale Scott, joins us to discuss his dissertation American Exception: Hegemony and the Dissimulation of the State. Hot off his appearance on TrueAnon, Aaron explains to us his concept of the Tripartite State as it relates to ideas about the Democratic State, the National Security State, and finally (and most controversially) the Deep State (although Aaron's conception of the Deep State, much like Peter Dale Scott's, is very different than the popular QAnon formulation of the concept). In this conversation we discuss:- Peter Dale Scott's conception of the "Overworld" and Underworld of power.- How Aaron became involved in subjects related to Scott's work- The formation of the CIA and its relation to Wall Street- U.S. supported coup d'états and support of Latin American death squads- The Nixon era, Watergate, the Church Committee, the election of Ronald Reagan, and America's political realignments- The John Birch Society, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the Trilateral Commission and other organizations/groups- The Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) scandal, The Safari Club, international arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi of Iran/Contra infamy, intelligence agencies, and other skullduggery- Alliances between the mob and capitalism; United Fruit Company; Meyer Lansky; Nugen-Hand Bank; CIA agent Miles Copeland's comments about a "CIA within a CIA"- The revolving door between government, particularly intelligence agencies, and the private sectors of the military-industrial-complex- John Locke, the State of Emergency and Continuity of Government (COG)- Nazi legal theorist Carl Schmitt, the Cold War, and the concepts of the Dual State, the State of Exception, and the Sovereign- The hegemonic nature of what Aaron calls the Tripartite State- Peter Dale Scott's ideas about parapolitics and deep politics; the deep political system- Aaron and Peter Dale Scott's recent CovertAction Magazine essay "Was the Now-Forgotten Murder of One Man on September 9, 2001 a Crucial Pre-condition for 9/11?"

Today, James Cerbie speaks with Aaron Davis, Co-Founder, Owner, and health and sports performance coach at Evolve Health and Performance based in Austin, Texas. Aaron has had a long and varied career in the fitness industry. Starting out as an assistant track and field coach at Fort Hays State University in 2005 (where he also earned his BS in Exercise Science), Aaron went on to serve as the head cross country and track and field coach at Bethany College in 2008. In 2011, he was the Director of Programming at CrossFit Austin. Finally, started his own company, Evolve, in 2014. The big topic that the vast majority of my conversation with Aaron revolves around is coordinated contractions. This is the factor that Aaron pays most attention to when training his athletes: “How can I maximize the number and volume of coordinated contractions I’m getting?” We dive into the definition of coordinated contractions, its impact on exercise, and how to actually implement it into your own training or your client’s training. We start our conversation off discussing Aaron’s onboarding process for new athletes. His insistence on focusing on levers outside that of exercise gives us a peek into his multipronged, holistic approach as a trainer. Aaron explains the importance of looking at factors such as nutrition, sleep, and the individual’s energy levels outside of the gym. From there, we go into his foundational pillar for energy system development: coordinated contractions. In Aaron’s words: “Coordinated contractions, to me, means I can keep a very high power output with great oxygen utilization”. High volumes of these coordinated contractions leads to massive benefits all around, from greater oxygen utilization to more muscle growth to increased performance. He looks “at the coordination issue as intramuscular compensation to an intramuscular issue.” Aaron then shares how he applies this principle as a coach as well as how to use the Moxy to monitor and “fill the holes” of their athlete’s performance. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: [04:25] An introduction to Aaron and his gym, Evolve [06:18] Aaron’s top influences that contributed to his ever-evolving framework as a coach [09:03] How Aaron goes about onboarding a new coaching client [14:25] Defining coordinated contractions and their importance [17:35] Coordinated contractions in practice [21:00] Using the Moxy Monitor to investigate coordinated contractions [25:00] Priming an athlete’s psychology for the training ahead [29:52] What makes a “good” Crossfitter? [35:45] Distinguishing between supply and utilization with the Moxy [39:23] Subjective markers to track coordinated contractions for those with no access to technology [43:29] How to contact Aaron [44:02] The most impactful content that Aaron recently consumed Links: Email Aaron Davis here: davis@evolvehp.life Follow Evolve Health and Performance on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/evolve_hpl/?hl=en (here) Rebel Performance: Text RPSAVE10 to 81493 to get 10% off your first program Text RPCOACHING to 81493 to get $100 off your first month of coaching https://jamescerbie.typeform.com/to/hECiC0hX (Take the Rebel Performance Training Quiz to find the right program for you) https://www.rebel-performance.com/coaching (Get a coach that's dedicated to your success) https://www.rebel-performance.com/courses (Take a course to become a better coach)

Aaron Cooper is the Interim CEO at Groupon, an online marketplace with around 4,000 employees globally. Prior to that he had worked in several other roles at Groupon including president of North America, Chief Marketing Officer, head of Global Travel, Head of North America Services and Head of North America Goods. Before Groupon Aaron held a lot of marketing and leadership positions at Orbitz and optionsXpress and he held consulting roles at AOL and PwC. Aaron Cooper, who recently moved into the role of interim CEO at Groupon, says his recipe for success has been working across many different industries and in very diverse roles. These experiences have given him the skills and mindsets he needs to be the best leader he can be. He says it has been incredibly important for his career that he’s been able to work in finance, marketing, brand marketing, and general management across industries such as travel, retail, finance, and internet. He has worked with companies who were very successful and growing and he’s worked for companies that were in distress. All of these experiences have shaped his leadership approach and have led him to his current role. In fact, Aaron says most of the biggest career moves he made were jobs he didn’t even know were available. He got into a role and did exceptionally well and then management would grab him and tell him he’s moving to a new role. He said he learned quickly to just say yes to these opportunities and it has proved to be an effective way for him to climb up the ladder. What to do when you work for a bad boss Aaron says he’s worked for a few tough bosses that have bordered on being too tough. There are always going to be people we work for who aren’t the best leaders. But Aaron says he always uses these opportunities to learn something and grow. He says, “At those times I was focused on what I can learn out of this situation. It's a mind shift, you have to decide that you want to be in that situation and you're up for learning from this person. I also find that when you adopt that mindset, the tougher boss changes their attitude towards you. Which is something that I realized as well, hey, I'm a student, so please teach, has been a productive relationship for me to get the most out of those. And because of that there are tools that I have in my toolkit now.” The best bosses on the other hand make employees want to show up every single day for them. Aaron says he had a great boss who with very little effort could get the very best out of Aaron. He knew the boss had his back and believed in him, so Aaron wanted to do his best and live up to the reputation the boss believed in. Aaron gives an example of this great boss. Aaron had moved into a role leading online marketing and his team did a deal, but it ended up being a bad deal that cost a lot of money. Instead of just firing him or demoting him, the boss called Aaron out and said it was his to solve. He was counting on Aaron to fix it. But the way he called Aaron out was in such a positive way that Aaron was able to come back from the failure. He motivated his team and they all went after it and fixed the problem. He actually looks back at this experience in a favorable way, which is all because of how the boss handled the situation. Aaron says being a good leader comes down to how you leave people feeling. When you leave the room is everyone wanting to crush it, and do a great job for you? Or does everyone want to leave the company? How Aaron carves out downtime and why every CEO should do the same Aaron is very busy with his role as CEO, leading his company through the pandemic, as well as his personal life with his wife and kids. He has found that it is so important to carve out time every day for downtime, time to think through issues, focus on one specific problem, or just think of the next big move for the company. He actually says his ideal amount of downtime each day is three hours. Which seems like a lot in a normal workday, but he says it’s important to have a good chunk of time so you can actually dive deep into the problems and issues you’re trying to solve. Aaron says, “if you actually get a chance to think there's such important things that you can always solve for your team. And sometimes during that time, I may call somebody and think a problem through with them. Absolutely. But it's time for me to just make sure to take a step back and make sure that in the relative challenges of COVID and people working from home, and everything that comes with that for running a company where local businesses around the world have been shut down and their business has been impaired. And we're looking for our strategies that we're working on right now to be successful to help our broad community of Groupon. There's so much in there for me, just to make sure that as things change day to day everyone's coming along the same way.” And even though downtime sounds like someone is just sitting around and pondering things, that is far from the truth. Aaron is very structured with his downtime. He always has a list of priorities he has to think through and he is very active and engaged during the entire time. During this time he only focuses on the top priorities, you can’t let priority 6 or 7 sneak into your thought process at this time. It has to be about critical issues only. How to give employees the autonomy to make decisions on their own In the past companies have tended to be bogged down with bureaucracy and hierarchy that made the decision process long and tedious. Just to get permission to buy a new piece of equipment or streamline a process it may take weeks or months to run it up the ladder and back down. Now, with our current pace of change companies can no longer afford to make decisions this way. Employees have to be able to have the autonomy to make decisions for themselves. So how does Groupon make this possible for employees? Aaron says it comes down a couple things they have done internally. The first big thing is transparency. Every employee, whether they have been at the company for 10 years or 4 months, knows what the company priorities are and they know what the current strategy is. In fact when they launched a new strategy during Covid-19 they not only announced it company wide, but they went team by team, person by person to make sure they fully understood what the new strategy meant. But Aaron knows that people can’t just understand the strategy, they have to believe in it. But you can’t force people to believe in something, it has to be a back and forth conversation until everyone is on board. This process takes consistency, discipline, and commitment. So you have to have transparency and alignment in order to successfully hand over control to your employees. As Aaron says, “Within that empowerment giving someone the task, the resources and trusting them and their judgment becomes so much easier, because trying to goal something so specifically for the uncertainties going on right now is that much harder. So I'm really proud of our team across the board for the way that everyone has come along on this.” How Aaron works on being a better leader One thing Aaron has found very helpful in his journey as a leader is reflection. He takes time to reflect on the week to think back to when he wasn’t the leader he wanted to be so he can address those issues. He also recently attended a class on authentic leadership which really impacted him and the way he approaches leadership. You have to figure out what kind of leader you are and you have to authentically lead in that way. Don’t try to be someone you are not. You can’t just read about another leader and try to copy and paste that into your way of leading. When asked what kind of leader he is, Aaron said “An energetic leader, I'm a structured thinking leader. I like to make sure that we have the strategy and goals set out clearly. And people have embraced those. Because for me it's grounded in getting the absolute best out of the team. And having them show up in ways where the energy that they're both getting and giving to Groupon makes them feel better about themselves outside of Groupon, especially in a pandemic.” And so he shows up everyday with that purpose and mission in mind and he leads as authentically as he can. How Aaron keeps up with the constant pace of change One thing a lot of leaders struggle with today is trying to keep up with things when the pace of change is so constant and so fast. This year has really shown how fast things can completely change. So how does Aaron keep up? He says constant learning is a crucial key. He is always reading and is a part of a few book clubs, he listens to podcasts, he meets with other leaders, etc...He also finds it important to pay attention to his employees and what they are saying. They bring different perspectives and ideas that drive him forward. What should leaders stop doing to become better leaders For any leaders who want to better themselves Aaron’s advice is to stop playing it safe. You are going to have tough decisions to make and you are going to have to keep the company moving forward, playing it safe will not help you. You have to be bold. Especially with the things we are facing this year. He says, “One of the things I learned in my turnaround management days is you've got to make the hard decisions, because time does not help when you're running out of cash. We were in that situation here. But I learned that earlier in my career, and that's something that now in leading through a year like now, it shows up, and it shows up in important ways. So stop playing it safe, is I think, really, really big.” What should leaders start doing to become better leaders Aaron says it is crucial for leaders to have a mission, a passion, an obsession and they have to be able to name it so that they know what they are doing when they get out of bed in the morning. This really goes back to the importance of reflection and understanding what kind of leader you are. As Aaron shares, “Here, we're helping local businesses, we're helping local businesses through a challenging time, we're helping our customers do more. There's more ways that we can help. But we are redesigning Groupon into a recovery so we can help grow local commerce. And for us, that's energizing, it shows up in multiple ways from our strategy, just to the way we were working throughout the team to develop more empathy and more listening on the front end with customers and merchants. But I would say you gotta you got to start with that passion. But again, I think the ingredient for that is you have to do the reflection. So you can really be genuine and honest with yourself about what your passion is all about.”

Your website is polished. Facebook ads retargeting, Google ads pushing your domain to the top of the results page. Traffic trickles through… starting with a sign-up for a free trial. All your PPC ad spend is balancing on a knife’s edge. But here’s the question: Will the prospect convert from a free trial to a paid customer? If yes, you can wipe away the sweat and enjoy a profitable growth funnel. If not, you’re pouring money into Zuckerberg’s pocket without anything to show for it. This is why maximizing your trial-to-customer conversion rate is essential to scaling your SaaS. I consider it low hanging fruit. You already have the prospect interacting with your product, now you want them to trust you with their credit card.

Aaron Volpatti wasn’t dreaming of the NHL at 17, he was trying to make the Revelstoke Grizzlies, his local Junior B hockey team. In his NHL draft year, Aaron was living at home, graduating from high school, and hanging with his buddies. He had his sights set on hopefully making the Vernon Vipers of the BCHL as an 18-year-old.Volpatti ended up wearing the jersey of the Vancouver Canucks and Washington Capitals, but after seeing Aaron score 7 goals in first 112 games in the BCHL you probably wouldn’t have made that bet and neither would have Aaron.But as we have heard before on this podcast, Aaron’s greatest adversity turned out to be his life’s greatest gift. At the conclusion of his second season with the Vernon Vipers that adversity struck. Aaron was involved in an awful accident at a team bush party that left him with 2nd and 3rd degree burns to over 40% of his body.He was told he would never play hockey again.But after one phone call (and we discuss why this phone call was so impactful for Aaron) Aaron made other plans – he was going to be in the line-up for the season opener come September.And after 6 weeks in hospital, 4 weeks in a wheelchair, another month unable to walk and two more major setbacks called kidney stones and an appendicitis, Aaron was dressed to play on opening night. He WILLED it to happen.During that process he proved to himself that he could accomplish anything. He grew his resilience, his confidence, and his mindset.In this interview we discuss The possibilities that arise when we assume we generally only operate at 40% of our capabilities The perspective shift Aaron made that changed the meaning of the physical pain he was feeling, which gave him mental strength and the ability to recover faster How having big dreams requires us to explore and change the personal standards we set for ourselves How Aaron used visualization to prepare him for playing in the NHL, at a time when we he never even had a pro contract How Aaron used DELIBERATE PRACTICE at 24 years old, to become a player that scored more goals and points in his senior year at Brown than he did in his previous 3 seasons combined Aaron Volpatti earned his way into the greatest league in the world. He used adversity as opportunities to grow and compete and to overcome. He had clear visions for what he wanted to accomplish and had a plan for how he was going to make that happen. Aaron was prepared to do things that others weren’t willing to do. Aaron’s story is one of possibility – one of evolution and one you will find very inspiring.

Aaron Levie is the founder and CEO of Box, the cloud content management and file sharing service for businesses. If you work in the modern business world, then you have almost certainly used Box to save and share documents. In this episode, Byron and Aaron talk about how he and his co-founders first built the company in 2004, why they decided to serve enterprises over consumers, and insights on building an a C-Suite, culture, and transitioning into being a CEO of a public company. Top highlights from this episode include: How Aaron and his founding team approached their pivot to the enterprise: “By ‘06 and ‘07, we asked ourselves: ‘What if we let an enterprise deploy a hundred or a thousand users and we’ll just charge per seat? It’ll be a monthly recurring business model and we’ll have all the IT and the security features that they need?” Aaron said. “We’ll sell this as an enterprise software product with a bottoms-up distribution motion with a sales team that works off of those customers. And so in a matter of a few weeks, maybe to a month or two, we designed the business model that has stuck with us to this day. In ‘06 and ‘07, this model pivoted the company, and made sure that we had a kind of a modern enterprise software model that was bottoms-up, consumer-driven, but also focused on selling to large enterprises and to the Fortune 500.” Why all feedback is always useful to consider: “I can look back now with the benefit of hindsight and I’d say 95% of the feedback that we got from the investors that turned us down was actually correct,” said Aaron. “Either it took us longer to realize it, we didn’t get it, maybe we didn’t answer in real time in the right way. Maybe we didn’t portray actually why we agreed because we were taken aback by the feedback. Take feedback from everybody you can, because oftentimes you can synthesize it and take just the bits and pieces across all of the people that will give you constructive or critical feedback.” The importance of finding a great COO: “COO has become obviously quite a catch all term in the Valley and I think one company’s COO doesn’t look like another company’s COO. That’s because the role is usually a way of complimenting and balancing out the skills or the gaps of the CEO,” said Aaron. “For me, I’m very product oriented. I tend to lean more toward thinking about the strategy, our customers, the culture, and not necessarily the entire day measuring the pipeline, building out the salesforce, and coordinating the end-to-end go-to-market execution.” The power of achieving positive cash flow early on: “Ultimately the reason why cash flow early in a business matters is because it gets you in a mindset of having to build a business that is a real business that’s going to scale,” said Aaron. “When you’re thinking about scaling a company early on, this mindset ensures that you’re not burning lots of money, the model works, and you don’t need to raise an unbelievable amount of capital to keep the business going.” Why an IPO exit is just the beginning for a company: “For the entrepreneurs and for the team going public is truly when the clock starts and it’s really game time. I think too many startups, too many founders, too many people, they think of the exit or the IPO as some sort of flag in the ground moment,” said Aaron. “All I can tell you is it only gets way harder and so going public at the right time, going public with the right team, with the right business model, both are really, really important because nothing will get easier about your company once you go public. It will only get harder. It’ll only get more stressful. It’ll get more gratifying for sure, but nothing gets easier.”

Aaron left Silicon Valley for new adventures in 2010 and moved first to Hong Kong, then Shanghai in 2012.

Working in mobile app advertising and how it was totally different between the West and China. Aaron talks about how he first learned about bitcoin and the early days when Brian Armstrong (CEO of Coinbase) used to hand out BTC for free just to educate people about bitcoin. How Aaron actually made the move professionally from advertising to crypto, thanks to some good contacts in China. What Aaron is doing now with Kava, and how his company managed a successful Launchpad campaign on Binance and raised several million dollars.

Building a fulfilling and lasting career in Hollywood definitely isn’t easy, but when you’re starting from the bottom rung of the ladder with zero contacts and just breaking in it can seem downright IMPOSSIBLE. But no matter who you are, where you come from, or who you do or don’t know, anyone can get their foot in the door using the right strategy. As today’s guest says, “It’s all about getting into people’s inboxes to make things happen.” My guest, Aaron Schmidt, is currently the Post Production Assistant on Cobra Kai who managed to land his position on a hit studio television show just months after graduating from college (which by the way is extremely unusual). Glancing at his resume as an Arizona State University cum laude graduate with Dean’s List honors and several credits on high profile studio projects while still in college, you’d probably never guess that Aaron began his education being placed in special ed because he was dyslexic. But Aaron has learned there’s a lot more to being successful and forging a path in Hollywood than just “getting lucky.” In today’s episode Aaron and I break down his experience on Cobra Kai, how he landed the gig in the first place, what his duties are as the post-production assistant (post PA), what he’s learned, and most importantly how he can improve so he lands his next gig (which by the way he already has..sorry, spoiler alert). Want to Hear More Episodes Like This One? » Click here to subscribe and never miss another episode Here’s What You’ll Learn: On breaking into Hollywood: How Aaron found no answers in film school and the intuitive insights that led him to chart his own path. Why Aaron thinks EntertainmentCareers.net is a “blackhole”. How he set himself up for a “lucky break” that led to his Post PA position on Cobra Kai. The 8 magic words that landed Aaron his first Post PA job after multiple failed interviews. Zack’s Interviewing Mindset Tip: “Demonstrate you have a very clear understanding of all of the challenges of the person interviewing you, why you are the best solution to those challenges, and why you are the person who is going to make their life easier.” What a Post PA actually does in studio television. How Aaron earned more responsibility for himself than his position required, making himself a more valuable member of the team and increased his chances of getting hired on the next project. KEY INSIGHT: Know what you want/where you want to be. Make it clear how people can help you. People are more willing to help than you’d expect – they just need clarity on HOW. How Aaron’s dyslexia actually helped him be more resourceful and attentive to detail. The importance of “crawling into the brain” of those you work with to anticipate their needs. Why “Leave your ego at the door” is sage advice, no matter your position.

“We’re not just working on the physical body itself, we’re working with the person’s humanity.” On today's episode, we sat down for an in-depth chat with Aaron Alexander, host of the Align Podcast and an expert in movement therapy. Aaron recently published the book The Align Method: 5 Movement Principles for a Stronger Body, Sharper Mind, and Stress-Proof Life to encourage more people to see physical exercise as one facet of their regular lives, rather than a once-daily routine punishment. We had plenty to talk about, from the relationship your senses have to your physiology and how to define trauma to the high costs of self-care. We also discuss each other's egos, my greatest fears, and why Aaron is so skeptical of gurus. Listen in to our conversation to learn what the Alignment Method is, how to change your perception of pain, and why Nick started his popular podcast.

In this episode of the Millionaire Mindcast, we have an impressive guest, Aaron Amuchastegui who shares his big wins and big losses in life, and all the craziness, how he got behind the bars but stand & back up, how he started on flipping houses, the story of massive success and how he blew it away, how he back up for the third time around, and actionable tips on how they live a rich and reasonable life, and keeping it on the zenith! Aaron Amuchastegui is a best-selling author of 5 Hour School Week, an entrepreneur, a real estate investor who had flipped over 1,500 houses all around the country, one of the principals at Homerock LLC, a real estate consulting company focused on distressed assets, owner of Aaron Amuchastegui Construction, a contractor focused on high-speed high turnover remodeling projects improving value to distressed properties, and the President of AMA Construct Inc, who has managed the acquisition and sales of more than $100 Million dollars in single-family homes acquired at the trustee sale and through public-private partnerships with Nonprofits and banking partners. Aaron’s dad was a custom home builder and his grandma was a developer, so he grew up doing construction real estate that’s why he always wanted to do it. He was 20-years-old when he started partying all the time, did crazy things, got into trouble, and got behind the bars. Aaron wasted his most productive time in prison. He realized that he needs to gain it back and it drives him to get out there and make his life better. This guy makes up the lost time, tries new things, and shifts his life on the right path. Later, Aaron started flipping houses and succeeds. But because of unplanned actions & uncontrolled spending on the wrong things, they blew up the opportunities. They hit the bottom but during his down moments, Aaron swallows his pride from being a millionaire to doing manual jobs like what a carpenter typically do, and became an Uber driver. He decided to do something and not just be lazy to go back in the path. They hold their faith and their spiritual part stronger and it really helps them get up and back up. Now, Aaron and his wife Kaleena have over 1,000 rental properties and looking forward to adding more. The couple makes sure they would not miss the second chance; they spend their money on the right thing, donating a portion of their income to the church, and building more memories with his family. One thing that they’re sure of, even if they went broke again; they wouldn’t regret they wasted their money on stupid things and they set their family as a priority.

“We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” – George Bernard Shaw When was the last time you engaged in play? On some level, kids (and even animals!) understand the release that comes with play, but as adults, we tend to overlook and neglect its importance. Adults need to play too, and studies show that playing can influence the expression of over 1200 genes in our brains. Playing can be an effective way to destress from your hectic lifestyle, stimulate your creativity, and improve your relationships. This concept is highlighted in Aaron Alexander’s new book, The Align Method. Today Aaron is sharing how often overlooked concepts like play, posture, and alignment can have far-reaching impacts on our overall health. You’ll learn about exercises you can use to feel your best, the link between posture and emotions, and the power of cultivating a physical relationship with yourself. I hope this interview inspires you to think differently about how the subtle things you do every day can impact your health and happiness. Enjoy! In this episode you’ll discover: How Aaron’s insecurities got him interested in health, and how his motive has shifted. Why changing your environment can have a powerful impact on your well-being. How your posture can mirror your emotions. What mechanotransduction is. The importance of play for human happiness. Examples of positions the body naturally wants to experience. The link between social engagement and the body’s autonomic nervous system. How play teaches us about boundaries and respect. What neuroception, interoception, and proprioception are. A simple exercise you can use to observe your internal world. The power of listening to your body. Why you should think of your body like a cell phone. What proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation is. The power of cultivating a physical relationship with yourself. Why the term “monkey bars” is a misnomer.

THE INTERVIEW Today we are vibin’ so high with this powerful and impactful episode. It resonates so deeply with us; we can’t wait to share it with you. Our guest, Aaron Rose, is a conscious culture and life design coach, and motivational speaker. We recently started working with him to expand our knowledge on being conscious leaders. Today Aaron joins us to illustrate his journey of growth, and how he began living his truth after growing up in a religious household that limited self-expression. For example, Aaron talks about the family newspaper he started to advocate for himself due to the discord he felt toward their religion’s lack of acceptance. He shares his coming out process, the painful conversations of trying to explain himself to his family, and how his relationship has evolved with them over the years. We then ask what it means to be ‘real’ on Instagram, and love Aaron’s answer about searching for our relatable brilliance versus flaws. We also talk about being triggered—understanding when you’re being triggered, what to do, and the importance of allowing your emotions to flow through you. Aaron shares how dropping into your heart and cleaning up energetic patterns creates change. To wrap up, he shares his favorite books, and we spend some time nerding out on The Lord of the Rings! We also talk about: How being fully present with others can create discomfort Aaron’s early experiences of discrimination How in conflict we still yearn for connection His involvement in social justice projects in high school and later How we are addicted to the lows Aaron’s relationship with God & faith How Aaron’s work has impacted individuals, teams, work cultures Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!
