On this episode of OWC’s Leaders & GameChangers, Setorii speaks with Quinton Aaron who we all easily fell in love with him in the film The Blind Side. His portrayal of Michael Oher captured the hearts of everyone across the world. For people that know Quinton, time is never wasted as he fills his journey with acting in films and television shows, singing, and public speaking. He has a heart that is larger than life and his passion to impact as many people as possible is felt even before you get to hug him in person.

Quinton shares some heartfelt thoughts and feelings on this episode. “I have been through so much in my life,” he says, “but I keep a smile on my face because I am still here. I have learned to let the positives be more magnetizing and more magnifying than the negatives. I don’t focus on the negatives. Ok, it happened. But how am I going to move forward? The positives I am appreciative of and grateful for. The negatives I learn from, and I apply forward.”

The life experiences I have were not just for me, they were for me to talk about so [people] can understand they are not alone. None of us are alone in our struggles.
