Hello, Mr. Tyler Perry. I’m Relentless Aaron, and in this message, I want to make one thing clear—a meeting with me will increase your bottom line by at least 25%. Respectfully, I need to sit down with you at your earliest convenience.
Now let me explain this all to my readers…In life, we all have an unfair advantage—something that gives us an edge in reaching our goals. This could be the relationships we’ve built, the places we find ourselves in, the wisdom we’ve gained over time, or simply our willingness to go further than others. It’s about recognizing and embracing those strengths, and I’ve been doing just that in my journey to connect with Tyler Perry.
Leveraging Relationships for Success
Some might say it’s “unfair” to know people in high places, but the truth is, relationships are one of the most powerful tools we have. In my case, I’m fortunate to have mutual connections with Tyler Perry, but it’s not just about who you know—it’s about how you use those connections.
It’s easy to sit back and wait for opportunities to come your way, but those who are truly successful create their own opportunities. That’s what I’m doing by tapping into my network. I’m showing the value I bring to the table and making it clear why working together would benefit everyone involved.
The Advantage of Geography: Being in the Right Place
Living in Atlanta for over a decade has provided me with another key advantage. Tyler Perry Studios is right here in my backyard, and that geographical proximity opens up a world of opportunity. Being local means I’m plugged into the same creative ecosystem, and I have direct access to the same networks.
Geography may seem like a small factor, but being in the right place at the right time can be a game-changer. It allows for face-to-face interactions, shared events, and collaborations that might never happen otherwise.
Wisdom and Experience: The Power of Storytelling
I’ve been a storyteller for decades, and with nearly 100 books to my name, I’ve honed my craft. My stories resonate deeply with the same audience that Tyler Perry reaches—people looking for raw, real, and authentic narratives. My books, much like his films and shows, reflect the lives and struggles of everyday people, with themes of perseverance, faith, and redemption.
This is another one of my unfair advantages—my experience as a storyteller and my deep understanding of the audience we both serve. I’ve spent years connecting with readers who share the same values as Tyler’s fans, and I know how to keep them engaged. That’s not just skill—it’s a strategic edge.
The Audacity Factor: Pushing Boundaries
One of the most significant advantages I have is audacity. I’m not afraid to push boundaries, ask for what I want, and take bold steps to get there. In this case, I’m reaching out publicly for a meeting with Tyler Perry because I know what we can create together.
Audacity is what separates those who dream from those who do. It’s what propels you forward when others might hesitate. I’ve never been one to wait for someone else to open doors for me—I knock on them myself, sometimes repeatedly, until they open. This mindset is crucial for anyone looking to make their mark in any industry.
My Starbucks Story: Creating Opportunities from Scratch
Years ago, I used my time wisely, turning a simple visit to Starbucks into a long-term collaboration. What started as sitting with my laptop in a local café turned into producing shows for Starbucks—comedy and jazz events that ran for years. I leveraged my surroundings, the relationships I built, and my skills in storytelling and event production to create something from nothing.
That’s what an unfair advantage looks like in action: seeing an opportunity where others don’t and acting on it. My time at Starbucks was about more than coffee; it was about crafting experiences that brought people together and using that platform to build something bigger.
Why Tyler Perry and I Are Aligned
At the end of the day, I’m ready for this meeting with Tyler Perry because our audiences align. We both tell stories that speak to people who have experienced struggle, triumph, and everything in between. Tyler Perry’s content has evolved over the years, and so has mine. His audience loves my stories, and together, we can create something even more impactful.
It’s not just about the meeting itself—it’s about what we can build from it. The partnership, the synergy, the possibilities are endless. And I’m here, ready to make it happen.
Final Thoughts: The Power of Unfair Advantage
Everyone has an unfair advantage—it’s just a matter of whether you recognize it and use it to your benefit. In my case, I’m using my relationships, geography, experience, and audacity to pursue this meeting with Tyler Perry. But the bigger message is that we all have these advantages, and when we lean into them, there’s no limit to what we can achieve.
So, if you’re reading this, think about what unfair advantage you’re sitting on right now. What can you do to turn that into an opportunity? How can you push the envelope, make bold moves, and take control of your path?
That’s how success is created—through relentless intention, bold action, and a willingness to leverage every tool at your disposal.
Stay Relentless,
DeWitt Gilmore (Relentless Aaron)
