Teaching, mentoring and coaching is what is exciting for Aaron. He wanted to connect more people, with a smaller barrier to entry, so he started the View From the Top Community. Now hundreds of guys are connecting and learning how to live successful and significant lives. His new book, “View From the Top” is coming out this summer, and he has a lot to be fired up about.

Aaron has great tips for joining a mastermind. Don’t do it with a family member or a business partner. Choose a group of unbiased, trusted advisors that have the same aspirations, goals and determination that you have. He thinks everyone should join a mastermind group, and live life knowing that it’s the relationships that really matter.
