Every story counts

from psychiatric ward to kitchen success | Every Story Counts. EP 09 Aaron Temple

Joe Davison

In this episode of Every Story Counts, I sit down with Aaron Temple a man whose life could have gone in a very different direction. Expelled from school and struggling with no sense of hope, Aaron found himself in a psychiatric hospital before eventually being fostered and discovering a passion that would change everything: cooking. Today, he’s a top chef, a father, and proof that transformation is possible no matter how dark things get.

Aaron opens up about losing his brother to suicide, how he kept his emotions locked away until the moment he saw his brother in the morgue, and how that experience changed him forever. We also talk about the intense pressure of life in the kitchen, his journey through arrests and chaos as a teen, and the path that took him from believing he’d end up dead or in prison to building a life filled with purpose and drive.

This is a powerful and honest conversation about resilience, grief, and the fight to rewrite your story no matter where it begins.
