On this episode of Teeter Talks, I had the distinct pleasure of speaking with the exceptional Aaron Brown, a celebrated athlete whose remarkable achievements continue to inspire. Known for his role as the lead leg in the Canadian men's 4x100 relay team that claimed gold at this year’s Paris Olympics, Aaron has etched his name in track and field history. A specialist in the 100 and 200 meters, Aaron’s impressive career includes a silver medal in 2020, a bronze in 2016, and a 2022 World Championship title. He is one of only two Canadians to ever break both the 10-second and 20-second barriers in the 100m and 200m events. Aaron’s unmatched speed and relentless work ethic set him apart, but it's his dedication to leadership and teamwork that truly resonates. In this conversation, Aaron offers powerful insights into what it takes to lead with heart, collaborate with purpose, and achieve sustained success. Whether you’re an athlete, coach, or professional in any field, you’ll find Aaron’s wisdom and perspective a source of inspiration.
