Hello! I'm Aaron Wexler and this is Within The Game! I talk with athletes, coaches, & entrepreneurs about how to stay inspired in and out of the game. Whatever your game is, I hope you get inspired by these conversations; from my guests’ experiences, from their success and failures, from the lessons they have learned, the habits and tools they have developed, their mindsets, their vulnerabilities, their authenticity, how they find inspiration, and by their unique approach to living an inspired life, and what that really means to them, and hopefully you can make it relatable to you and your life, and that’s the ultimate goal in this journey.
