Aaron Welty was born with Cerebral Palsy and has beaten death at least twice. Today, he is a motivational speaker, has worked in the US Capitol as a legislative staffer, and is a "geeky stoic." I’ve known Aaron through the world of comic cons for many years, and through GeekyStoics, I’ve gotten the pleasure of knowing him more deeply.
In this interview, you'll learn about the perils of comfort, how to fortify yourself with hardship, and the importance of a masculinity that strives towards gentleness through strength.

You Need A Backslapper in Your Life
Encouragement goes a long way, and it requires an encourager in order to be received. In this short video for Subscribers to Geeky Stoics, I break down an interaction at the White House and why it got me thinking about men and the importance of having friends who nudge you forward.

Narnia Enters The Culture War. Why?
Hello friends. In today’s email, I have a video message for you recapping some of the latest revelations about Netflix’s adaptation of Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew by Greta Gerwig. We don’t do rage bait on GeekyStoics — though I will admit to feeling anger. This video is about what we know, what it suggests about the film's thinking, and what to do with that information.
