Our guest — Aaron Fleck — makes his podcast debut on InTALLerable at TSS for an unforgettable episode.  Though he looks & sounds like a natural, Aaron had never been on a podcast before, so we feel especially honored he wanted to pop his pod-cherry here at TSS.  

Go see him perform comedy & be sure you follow him on Instagram @Aaron_Fleck  — Lots of his videos feature his loving Rottweiler, Dillon.

We hear about Aaron’s life: from his early days growing up a trouble-making city boy in Denver, to playing in a band after high school, moving to L.A. to chase his dreams, meeting his wife & leaving California for work on the oil fields in Wyoming, to finally rediscovering stand-up at age 41 after finding sobriety from alcohol.  Listen to Aaron’s story and you might get some insight on navigating life’s challenges with grit & humor.

Aaron’s looks might not match your assumptions about him.  Sure, he’s taken a ‘Tour-De-Jails’ across most Colorado county lock-ups, but he also loves dogs & gets sappy for Hallmark movies.  He’s a thoughtful & dedicated father, who uses his own example to guide his kids to make better choices in their life.  

Aaron might be the softest, most down-to-Earth man that I would never dare mess with or cross.
