I’m excited to share my hour + conversation with Aaron Aguirre, most commonly known as the former radio personality of Brain’s Morning Madhouse on 95.3-102.3 The Breeze.
In this conversation, we discuss a wide range of topics as I get to know who Aaron is now in relation to his past work as a much-loved radio talent, DJ, producer, and more.
Life took a dramatic turn when he was arrested in 2016 for drug possession and was sentenced to 20 years in prison. Fast forward to today, he’s out and is the owner of Brain’s Smoke and Vape with locations in Tyler Texas and Longview Texas.
As always the show is guided by the “Three C’s” of the show:
Communication:
We talk about the identity of “Brain”, his work at The Breeze, overcoming his darkest moments in prison, perceptions, and how the experience changed him.
Community:
He answers The Village Question and we discuss building relationships with others in and out of the prison system and how his values inform who he is today.
Company:
We speak about his journey into entrepreneurship, the perception of the smoke & vape industry, professionalism, leadership principles, and the origin of his work ethic
+ Much, much more!
I really enjoyed this conversation and found it enlightening, encouraging, and thought-provoking for a wide variety of reasons. This episode could have been hours longer!
I also encourage him to begin sharing his voice on a podcast of his own…which may or may not be on the horizon…
Do you think Brain should start a podcast of his own? Leave a comment here or let him know via social media or tell him in person at his shop!
