Jason Smith

Anyone that believes watching cartoons on a Saturday morning isn’t good for kids clearly have not heard Jason Smiths story. An experience in the aforementioned resulted in a life altering experience that caused Jason to set him self on a trajectory that would not make a mere dent in a global problem but strive to make a genuine impact. Sound pretty impressive right? Well (and I’m am not overstating this) he is one genuinely impressive man who practices what he preaches, 10X over and then some. Side note / full transparency, it has been a struggle of late to fit in time to do the podcast along with technical challenges (new laptop is here now yay!) So this one was recorded during my lunch break on the side of the road in my car so apologies for the poor audio quality on this one. Enjoy.

Why would a self confessed private introvert start a podcast centred around truth, courage and integrity? On paper that sounds like the opposite of a good idea. Well in this episode Aaron shows incredible courage and shares why he started the Iron Will podcast and talks openly about the issues in the world that motivate fitting it into his busy schedule. Trigger warning, if you are easily offended or struggle to listen to someone with a differing opinion or approach to life than you then this may not be the episode for you. That said, I had a blast with this one. Towards the end we remember we should probably talk about his actual day job as COO working in the transport industry. This was a lot of fun and be sure to check out the Iron Will podcast. Enjoy.
