Aaron went from rapper to New York City Transit worker to working at some of the largest names in tech including Coinbase, Docker and Meta (Facebook).

This story isn't really about tech or money, but that's a piece of it.

The real story is about refusing to settle, rising above your circumstances and creating options in life when you feel like you don't have any.

Aaron has nothing to sell you.

He reached out to me because he wants to share his story in the hopes it will help others who may be struggling or feel stuck.

If you're not inspired by Aaron's journey, there's a chance you're a robot.
