My conversation this week was with my good friend and returning guest, Aaron Everitt. Aaron was just returned from a panel discussion where he represented the MAHA perspective at the ASPPH Annual Meeting for Academic Public Health, with hundreds of public health educators in attendance. Aaron has been a regular guest on a podcast known as “Why Should I Trust You”, and is an avid freelance writer and creator. He’s also a longtime chapter facilitator at LoCo Think Tank!

We discussed Aaron’s creative journey on X, which caught attention from then-Presidential Candidate RFK, Jr., and his journey from there to becoming a leading voice in the MAHA movement - which has stagnated of late. We discuss the challenges and opportunities ahead for public health, and then drift into a wide-ranging discussion including the unfolding Iran Quagmire and likely long-term consequences, music, purpose, and loving your neighbor.

We enjoyed some Whizcals and FoCo LoCo’s from our Spirit Sponsor, Seed & Spirit Distilling, and I’m sure you’ll enjoy, as I did, my latest conversation with Aaron Everitt.
