Creating Positive Company Culture with Aaron Rich

This week, I sit down with my dear friend Aaron Rich. He’s an entrepreneur, podcast host, fisherman, and community builder. We talk about leadership that trusts people, making room for fun (yes, fishing on the golf course), and how his podcast “Road to Rich” lifts up local voices. Aaron also opens his heart about losing his mom during COVID, the grief that shaped him, and the compassion that followed. Together, we reflect on Hurricane Michael, healing, and why making time for people matters most.
