AaronM is a guy who has many haters and many friends. Not many in between.
He's opinionated and speaks his mind, even if you won't like his opinion. Thing is, his opinion is usually the right one. You'll find he doesn't speak up a lot unless he's very sure he has his facts straight, and backed up with proof. This makes for many haters... but what can ya do?
If you don't give him a reason to form a negative opinion of yourself (aka, if you're a good person), then Aaron is potentially one of the best people to know.
He's one hell of a content producer and business man... but above even that, the friends he does have are very good friends to have. He is a great networker and an even better friend. He will NOT associate himself with riff raff. That means that if anyone who knows Aaron sees you with Aaron, they will automatically know that you are either a good person, or very good at hiding something shady
He gets a bad rap on this board because he speaks his mind so much. And I have no doubt you'll see some of that in this thread. But if you can see passed that and see how Aaron really works... then you can't go wrong working with him and knowing him.
Oh and yes, I am sure I'll get many "ass kissing" replies... but that's ok. Doesn't phase me. I speak from experience, having been friends with Aaron for a while now.
