Description
What will people remember about you when you’re gone? What impact are you making through your work and life? Will anybody care? In this episode, we get into the powerful turnaround story of Aaron Walker, affectionately known as “Big A.” He has founded more than a dozen companies over the past 42 years and has appeared on more than 2000 podcast interviews! After this episode, you’ll understand why he keeps getting invited back. His story includes deep trauma, challenge, and the feeling of chains around his neck. But it is also a story of redemption, love, and courage! Aaron attributes much of his success to having surrounded himself with his mastermind counterparts. Aaron spent a decade meeting weekly with Dave Ramsey, Dan Miller, Ken Abraham, and 5 other amazing entrepreneurs. He is the founder of Iron Sharpens Iron Mastermind that now hosts 20 groups with National and International members. Aaron is the author of View From The Top, a must-read to fully understand how to live a life of success and significance. He is a happy native of Nashville, Tennessee with his wife Robin of 40 years, and he has 2 incredible daughters and 5 beautiful grandchildren.
