Aaron’s Bio: 

You and 50 of your biggest followers on a cruise where you get to cultivate their passions and develop their skills and mindset while organic community grows. At the same time your brand is only growing deeper. It's a win-win! I got you. Here's what I do.

I create memorable, turnkey experiences for busy professionals and their teams or family.

But here's an even cooler niche - I take LinkedIn influencers - whether you have 5k or 500k followers- and help create memorable, out-of-the box, in-person retreats to deepen their brand and maximize their impact through an event w/ their followers. Lately, it's been cruises, baby! But can also do all-inclusives, hotels and more!

Whether it's an annual conference or you want to take your vision of a member retreat and turn it into a reality, I can help you craft the perfect event that reflects you and your brand.
