Who is Aaron Smalls?

Aaron is the positive energizer you need to make your next live event an unforgettable experience.

Whether I’m Hosting, DJing or giving the Keynote address, my superpower is my ability to connect with a whole group of people.

I amplify the best energy in the room, no matter if it’s a sold-out stadium or a smaller, more intimate setting. I want the whole audience to lean in – even the skeptics in the back with their arms crossed. I work tirelessly until everyone is laughing, engaged and riding the roller coaster of a timeless experience.

My gift is my ability to hold up just the right mirror to reflect the best image of every person in the room. I allow people to see their most attractive selves. I leave my audience inspired by their own potential.

Yes, you could pick out your most outgoing employee to host your event. You could hire a local DJ for the afterparty. You could find the social influencer du jour to keep your audience entertained between sets.

Or you can hire one Curiously Talented entertainer who will deliver a unified, energetic and memorable experience.

How I Work

When you hire me, you hire a professional whose goal is to make you look great. Your brand, your company, your event, your show becomes my dedicated focus.

I am a key player to keeping your live event flowing seamlessly so that no distraction, mistake or misstep derails the journey. My experience on the stage has taught me to prepare for the unexpected, react quickly and keep the audience smiling without recognizing the missed beat.

When the unexpected occurs, I’m ready with an easy pivot, a quick sidestep and a flourished refocus. 

I do this by internalizing the goals of the event and the expected vibe of the room. I familiarize myself with the physical space of the stage. I connect with the other presenters and speakers so I know how to successfully transfer the engagement of the audience to them.

I succeed when the audience feels an authentic, emotional connection to the experience on stage. You succeed when they can’t stop talking about what they just heard, saw and learned as they leave.

When you hire me, you hire a Curiously Talented professional who internalizes YOUR vision and translates it across the entire event. You hire a servant leader with the experience to handle all the details and passion to breathe life into YOUR vision.

Think of me like the clutch in a car that matches the speed of the road with the power of the engine.

I move your event forward and help everyone enjoy the ride.

What is the Charismatic Advantage™?

… and why you need it.

People gravitate toward the energy that helps them thrive. Think of how a field of sunflowers follows the sun as it crosses the sky.

We all need positive energy to become our best selves. We all want meaningful connections. We want inspiration that comes from authenticity.

The Charismatic Advantage™ is how events with me become a partnership in a shared vision. It’s the difference between a moment of fun and a timeless experience.

The Charismatic Advantage™ encompasses more than charisma.

  • It’s a strong sense of self, empowered by vision and inoculated against rejection.
  • It’s a clear understanding of your direction and your ability to take others along with you.
  • It’s the confidence to tap into youthful play and inspire others to do the same. 

People can sense the motivations of a person on a stage. When they see someone who believes in them and wants to empower them, they are willing to offer their attention and their focus.

Recent studies have identified leaders who harness this effect as Positive Energizers. Positive Energizers uplift other people through their values, authenticity and actions.

You can read more about the Charismatic Advantage™ in finer detail here. However, you don’t have to understand the Charismatic Advantage to benefit from its effects.

Let’s talk about how an audience-centered, professional host who understands your vision can transform your live event.

What Others Say About Me

I am energized by brands that are:
