Authenticity if your biggest currency... And it's more desired than ever before With AI and chat gbt it seems like every post on instagram is “its not THIS, it’s THIS” type language pattern I don’t know about you, but I can tell and feel when something is written by AI and when it’s by a genuine person And in general things feel performative now on social media… What works nowadays is posts that emotionally trigger people and get them to think Content is competing with the Epstein files and other things going on in the world and therefore people have to create more and more polarizing content to be seen The thing is….the content you consume literally influences your subconscious and shapes how you see the world If I were to watch stimulating reality show drama, I guarantee I would be more tune to drama in my life The RAS (reticular activating system) of the brain will find more and more of what it has been wired to see This is why one thing I do is have strong boundaries around the kind of content I consume I don’t watch horror movies and won't watch things that are toxic for my mind I take breaks from my phone and turn it off by 8pm at night If I do watch something it’s lighter and I prefer to read at night As far as AI and the current state of social media… I have a belief that in the next year or so people will CRAVE more authentic content and REAL experiences This is why I am doubling down on live events… I believe that running live events is something AI won't be to disrupt and is something people crave Coaching people in real time and seeing their emotional breakthroughs is powerful and reflects back a human element that I believe is refreshing And people see themselves in others When I coach people at live events the person being coached reflects back to the group other aspects of themselves And then a healing happens in the nervous system Also fyi the last live event for a while is in Los Angeles California next weekend and early bird tickets are available until Friday if you want to join

Want to hear something that is hard to accept but is true for most people? we are more like our parents than we think. I know it sucks to admit this or see this the same things you don’t like about mom and dad are patterns you either rebel against or embrace and even if you rebel and don’t like it… the rebelling against is still being controlled by it and what we judge in them is what we judge in ourselves I’ve been reading some books on inner child healing and psychology that have been super insightful for me with both my work and as well as how I can apply it to my own life I’m also going to be going to a transformation retreat later in the year many of my friends have been through that is specifically on healing the child mother and father dynamic and last night I did a meditation before bed connecting to my mom and dad… to when they were 12. Can you imagine having a conversation with your mom and dad when you were 12 and they were too? What emotions would they feel? What challenges do they have? This was super insightful for me I realized that due to my moms childhood… she felt TRAPPED she had to run away around 16 years old due to a certain type of abuse that was happening in the house she felt lonely and scared and didn’t know what to do at 12 years old she had a passive mom that allowed what was happening to happen And I found it very interesting growing up… I felt trapped too having the controlling ex step mom in my life until about 16 as well and a passive parent that at some level allowed it to happen too I’ve never realized how much like my mom I might be she is someone who had to fight for freedom… like I did she is someone who probably felt avoidant of relationships and didn't want to be trapped in them similar to how I have felt in the past too she had a hard time trusting people due to her childhood and I can see that much of the same type of energy that was in her childhood was in mine too having this experience allowed me to gain more clarity around my patterns and to realize that it didn’t all start with me

Does anyone else question the meaning of life?

for the first time in 5 years... I am cutting my hair much shorter I know this sounds like a silly thing to share however I wanted to share the deeper aspects and shadow side of how I will leverage it to wire in an inner shift first off... why did I start growing my hair to begin with? during covid when we weren't supposed to leave our houses it was not convenient to even get a haircut plus around that time I hired a branding consultant who recommend I put more thought into my style and hair I never really considered that I never really cared much how I looked... I just wanted the content to get out there however that was when I made the choice to grow out my hair it sounded new and fun to me and honestly at the very least it also felt "on brand" lol so it started! I went through many awkward stages to get to where it looked like "me" once it was a couple years I felt I was "branded" of having long hair and if I went shorter... it would confuse those that watch me... so I just assumed.. this is me now however as time has gone on recently... I have felt like I have been in a trap of my old self image, an old version of me I have expanded ALOT over the last year I've run consistent live events, I do hot seat coaching on stage, I travel more and don't have a home base... and I feel like a NEW me! I also feel like if I cut my hair I can reach more people... I know this sounds superficial and I shouldn't play into it and I should just do whatever... however I have felt this and the moment people see content they do subconsciously or consciously judge it based on how I look sometimes... my intention is to reach as many as I can with my message and I feel if I do cut my hair, it does open it up to more people cutting my hair is a symbol to me of a whole new me emerging it is a permission slip and a reflection of the inner changes I have already been making its more of a reflection of my inner changes that have already been emerging hair can represent many things...

Last Sunday I went out to the creek with some friends of mine… They are a husband and wife duo who also have a business similar to mine We hung out for about 5 hours and talked about business, life, spirituality and more Towards the end I asked them what shows they are watching and I could tell from their response… They hardly watch t.v… That night after they left I did some reflection and checked my phone to see my screentime… 6 hours a day! Much of which is instagram scrolling and random nonsense things that don’t add value to my life I made the choice in that realization and from now on… NO instagram scrolling, NO nightly hours of watching shows and Youtube videos… My total screen time went from around 8-9 hours a day… To almost 0… And I can not even begin to express to you how much this has changed my life… I mean it’s only been 5 days! My feel SO much more grounded, my sleep is WAY deeper, I am more inspired in my business, I feel more connected to nature and people in my life and MORE It’s also a form of dopamine detox I am going through… And in its place is the oxytocin of being in nature and being present Now when I eat… instead of watching youtube videos… I eat in silence and focus on enjoying my food… The result? Better digestion and more satisfaction I go out in nature and ground myself multiple times a day and sit in the sun The result? Emotions feel more regulated and I feel connected to nature and my intuition I am considering running a 14 day Social Media and Consuming DETOX challenge to help others reconnect to themselves and the moment Would you want to join? If you are interested comment on the post and let me know! The time of my day when I normally watch shows is the time when I now read I’m re reading Autobiography of a Yogi one (of my favorite books) Anyways this email would be 5X as long if I shared everything about this so I’ll stop here for now lol Talk to you soon! Much love, Aaron p.s on Monday I will be releasing a video on the results of 7 days of being FREE of social media scrolling and netflix etc… that outlines my experience, what I did and how to do a mini version of it without completely cutting it out
