Attitude Over Everything: A Raw, Real Conversation with Aaron Davis

🗓️ Episode Summary:

In this unforgettable episode of I'll Say It Anyway, Beth Friesen sits down with powerhouse speaker, author, and national champion Aaron Davis—a man whose life, legacy, and mindset prove that attitude isn’t just a buzzword... it’s a way of life.

From helping his father as a janitor with pride as a child to delivering keynotes to Fortune 500 companies, Aaron shares how his father's legacy and his own journey through loss, grief, cancer, and reinvention forged his core belief: Your attitude is your choice. With candor, humor, and deep wisdom, he shares the generational impact of perspective, the mental toll of unprocessed grief, and the transformative power of choosing how to show up—even in your darkest seasons.

This is more than an interview. It’s a soul-level reminder that what you’ve been through doesn’t define you—how you respond to it does.
