January 31, 2018 The View from the Top with Aaron Walker
In this week’s episode, I spoke with life and business coach Aaron Walker. He spends the majority of his time helping men grow in success and significance as President and Founder of View From The Top, a premier life, and business coaching resource. We spoke about ambition, clarity, living a life of success and more. It was a great conversation that I’m sure you’ll get a lot out of. Some of the topics we talked about are:
The myth of work-life balance
On being ambitious about the right things
Why it’s important to focus both outward and inward
Designing a proactive life through journaling
Deep diving instead of doing as much as possible
Why there is no power in wisdom–there is power in the execution of wisdom
