(*This episode handles sensitive topics around gun violence that may be triggering)

This week, we got to sit down with Aaron Stark, speaker, mental health advocate and known primarily for his TEDx Talk, 'I Was Almost A School Shooter'. Since that talk came out in 2018, it's gained nearly 14.5 million views on Youtube and sparked a great deal of conversation around why a person becomes a school shooter in the first place. 

In this conversation, we talk a bit about recent attacks in 2022, how the back and forth of gun violence vs mental health can muddy the real issues, and how saving one life can not only save so many more, but can be as easy as a text message.
