In this episode of Out Loud with Aaron Simpson, Aaron talks about the upcoming Michael Jackson movie, Michael, the public early reaction to it, and why people seem to struggle with just having fun at the movies anymore. He also dives into why this movie is tracking to be the highest grossing music biopic of all time, despite the early reviews.

This conversation goes beyond one film. It’s about nostalgia, childhood, entertainment, biopics, movie culture, and the way everything now seems to get filtered through seriousness, controversy, and online discourse.

Aaron also reflects on what Michael Jackson meant to a generation, why people are protective of Michael, and why the bigger issue may not be the movie itself but how people engage with entertainment now.

As I prepare to turn 39, Im reflecting on what Im no longer willing to carry into this next chapter. In this episode, we talk about leaving behind the expectations of others, poor lifestyle habits, and the silence that can slowly disconnect you from your real voice.

A personal conversation about honesty, identity, growth, self-respect, and what it means to stop shrinking and start living more fully. More Out Loud! Happy birthday to me!

In the first episode of Out Loud w/Aaron Simpson, he shares the heart behind the new name and direction of the podcast by talking about one of the biggest ways people lose themselves: people pleasing.

This is not a step-by-step guide. It is a wake-up call. A conversation about identity, voice, self-abandonment, and what happens when you spend too much of your life trying to keep other people comfortable. Aaron brings awareness to the cost of shrinking yourself, silencing your truth, and disconnecting from who you really are.
