The Practitioner
My name is Aaron Mar. I live in California. I hold three active licenses — Real Estate, Solar, Life Insurance — which is what happens when you are a jack of all trades still looking for the one thing.
At seventeen I sold weed and got expelled. At eighteen I moved to China with someone I trusted more than any man before or since — not a friend, a brother.
At twenty-one I was running a $40K/week NFT operation with a hundred and fifty employees and roughly two million dollars sitting in my account. I lost most of it. Not to the market. To a person. The brother I had trusted with the money chose a girlfriend and disappeared with it.
I went into a suicidal spiral and stayed there for months. One day in the worst of it I decided to hit the gym. I ran into Zack there — an old high school friend I had not seen in years. He was the reason I came out of the spiral. He walked me into real estate and I rebuilt as a realtor. In 2024 I caught a DUI. In 2025 I added solar. In 2026 I licensed into life insurance. Every identity I have tried on as an adult has been the same buried boy asking if this one is close enough.
Everything I know about paralysis, I learned standing inside it — the way you are standing inside yours right now.
I am not a therapist. I am not a life coach in the credentialed sense. I am a man who rebuilt from zero more than once, who has spent years studying the shadow work traditions that describe what most men never get shown — Jungian analytical psychology, Internal Family Systems, the men’s work lineage — and who has started naming, in plain language, the specific reasons analytical men stay stuck between what they know and what they do. The work is private, twelve weeks, one-on-one, weekly calls with unlimited voice and text access in between, gated prep material before each call, permanent access to everything after the term ends. The number lives in the discovery call — not on the page.
The filter is the Excavation Prompt. You run it on yourself, thirty minutes alone. If you send me the transcript, I read it. Not every transcript gets a reply.
