617: Mindset Shift: Content Recycling, Accountability Masterminds, Networking and Consistency with Aaron Walker

Aaron Walker is a veteran entrepreneur. Having started over a dozen businesses during his four decade journey has been pretty awesome. Beginning at 18 years old and selling to a Fortune 500 company just nine years later set Aaron on an adventure of a lifetime. The secret sauce for Aaron can clearly be identified with these four attributes: grit, authenticity, determination and perseverance. The glue that holds it all together is his weekly involvement in Iron Sharpens Iron Mastermind groups. Aaron started masterminding 20 years ago with Dave Ramsey, Dan Miller and several other notable Nashvillians. Today, he spends time with his wife, two daughters and five grandchildren.

“It's embarrassing, but I'd rather be embarrassed in front of 10 guys that love me and appreciate me than I had in front of the whole world where it failed miserably. And so I just want these guys around me all the time to give me the encouragement to push through these upper limit challenges.” – Dr. Nauman Naeem

“If I'm just going to open my life up, it'll be an open book. And if it helps one person today, to me, it was worth it.” - Dr. Nauman Naeem

“It's just a much cooler way to live your life trying to catch people doing things right. Rather than complaining about people doing things wrong.” - Dr. Nauman Naeem
