What does it really take to challenge the status quo, fight for truth, and defend your values in a system built to silence dissent?
For Aaron Siri, attorney and advocate, it began in courtrooms and regulatory filings, standing up for parental rights, informed consent, and transparent systems, even when the odds were stacked against him. Today, he navigates litigation, policy, and public trust in one of the most contentious debates of our time: vaccines.
In this episode of Common Denominator, we unpack Aaron’s journey from legal underdog to vocal defender of transparency, how he analyzes systems most ignore, and why courage isn’t loud, it’s consistent.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- What it looks like when regulatory systems prioritize power over process
- Why informed consent and transparency matter more today than ever
- The mindset shifts required to challenge conventional wisdom and speak truth to power
- How to stay true to your values when pressure to conform is constant
- What freedom of speech really means when you’re up against the establishment
