I Don’t Care About The Trial. I Just Want To Enjoy MJ

I Think I'm Finally Becoming Myself Again

In this episode, I talk honestly about something I’ve been realizing lately… how social media, pressure, performance, and constantly trying to “say the right thing”, slowly made me lose touch with parts of myself. While being out here in Japan, I’ve had time to reflect on creativity, identity, authenticity, purpose, burnout, content creation, and what it actually means to feel like yourself again. I talk about: - overthinking your voice online - feeling pressure to always sound deep or inspirational - social media performance vs real personality - why culture, music, sports, humor, and creativity matter to me - becoming more expressive and honest - rediscovering joy in creating again - why people connect more with authenticity than perfection This episode is for creators, entrepreneurs, artists, high performers, and anyone who feels like they’ve been disconnected from themselves trying to become who they thought they were supposed to be.

Triple H Over Shawn Michaels?! Sports Illustrated’s WWE Top 20 List Is Wild

Sports Illustrated dropped a Top 20 WWE Superstars of All Time list, and I had two major problems with it: Triple H being ranked over Shawn Michaels, and Roman Reigns being placed in the top 5 already. In this episode of Out Loud with Aaron Simpson, I break down why Shawn Michaels should be ranked above Triple H, why Roman Reigns is one of the most important stars of this era but not top 5 all time yet, and what actually makes a WWE superstar great. We’re talking Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Roman Reigns, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, John Cena, Hulk Hogan, The Undertaker, Bret Hart, CM Punk, and why wrestling fans will never agree on all-time rankings. I have some thoughts!

I Don’t Care About The Trial. I Just Want To Enjoy MJ

The Michael movie is out and everyone wants to make it about the trial and the controversies surrounding his legacy.  I’m not doing that.  In this episode, I talk about the legacy, why I’m an unapologetic fan, and why you don’t need anyone’s permission to enjoy great art. I also reflect on what Michael Jackson meant to a generation, why people are protective of Michael, and why the bigger issue may not be the movie itself but how people engage with entertainment now.

Turning 39, What I'm Leaving Behind, and What My 30's Taught Me

As I prepare to turn 39, Im reflecting on what Im no longer willing to carry into this next chapter.  In this episode, we talk about leaving behind the expectations of others, poor lifestyle habits, and the silence that can slowly disconnect you from your real voice. A personal conversation about honesty, identity, growth, self-respect, and what it means to stop shrinking and start living more fully.  More Out Loud!   Happy birthday to me!

People Pleasing Is Costing You Your Voice | First Episode of Out Loud with Aaron Simpson

In the first episode of Out Loud w/Aaron Simpson, he shares the heart behind the new name and direction of the podcast by talking about one of the biggest ways people lose themselves: people pleasing.  This is not a step-by-step guide. It is a wake-up call.  A conversation about identity, voice, self-abandonment, and what happens when you spend too much of your life trying to keep other people comfortable.  Aaron brings awareness to the cost of shrinking yourself, silencing your truth, and disconnecting from who you really are.
