Just listened to the bonus episode on July 22nd. Loved it. I’m a huge fall and winter guy. Made me happy. Loved the extra shuttle sound effects as well. Chefs kiss touch. Aaron never disappoints. Thank you for sharing.
Aaron’s stories are like a reset button for me. I love listening when I am driving to work. They remind me to think about what is important in life. They help me start my day with a positive outlook. Thank you Aaron!
Great storytelling in a short format. Aaron does an excellent job pulling you in quickly and delivering meaningful, thought-provoking narratives that stick with you. Easy to listen to, but hard to forget.
These stories are just fascinating little gifts. The time you spend listening to them is a fraction of the time you’ll spend thinking about them. Great follow.
Aaron’s stories are so personal and connect with emotions in such a deep way. Modern day Gene Shepard.
