SHOW NOTES ::29 min Aaron Talks
Thank you so much for listening. There is so much content out there. There is so many people with microphones in from tof their faces. So may movies.. that I appreciate you taking the time to listen to this.
We’ve had so many moves that have shaped us. When I started this podcast it came from this idea that we can attach ourselves to other peoples stories and characters in movies.
In the first season of TKOL I talked about movies and songs that shaped my early years and thinking.
Recently a friend and fellow coach Nick Flora, who’s been on the podcast before, has started Better Men Film Club where men get together and talk about the deeper meaning behind movies and the characters.
I thought I would bring Nick back to tell us what he’s up to.
