We had the good fortune of connecting with Aaron Knipp and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Aaron, what’s the most important lesson your business/career has taught you?
There are going be times when you’re the only one who can see where you’re heading. Running a business or doing anything significant in life isn’t always going to make sense to everyone around you. It’s not about convincing everyone else; it’s about believing in yourself long enough to see the breakthrough.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I currently run a public relations firm called Cicospace. We blend traditional pr tactics like press distribution and featured articles with marketing approaches like repurposing stage and podcast footage for social platforms.

We are dedicated to keynote speakers and other personal brands and as a result have earned the respect of the keynote industry and have helped the countries top keynote speakers control the narrative of their reputation online.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I’m born and raised in Arizona and although it’s not here anymore, it doesn’t feel right to not show respect. In 2020, Arizona lost “Fajitas, A Sizzlin Celebration”. Multiple generations of my family have gone there for birthdays, special occasions, etc. for nearly 40 years. I would love to talk to whoever ran that and see if we can’t find away to get it open again.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
