On this episode of OWC\u2019s Leaders & GameChangers, <\/em>Setorii<\/a> speaks with Quinton Aaron<\/a> who we all easily fell in love with him in the film The Blind Side<\/em>. His portrayal of Michael Oher captured the hearts of everyone across the world. For people that know Quinton<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019t 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.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
