Episode Summary

After over 50 episodes of Aaron interviewing others, David flips the script in this special episode. From his multi-generational upbringing in Chicago to building a multi-city commercial painting business and co-founding the Commercial Painting Industry Association (CPIA), Aaron opens up about the decisions, planned and unplanned, that shaped his career and led to building the CPIA.

Key Takeaways

• Why Aaron relocated his family out of Illinois, and how he restructured the business to run it remotely over several years
• The frustration that led Aaron and co-founder Steve Hester to start their own peer-group association (CPIA), and how it differs from typical "guru-led" masterminds
• An honest conversation about how Aaron and his wife have approached traditional roles, and how their kids have adjusted to his travel schedule
• What’s next for the CPIA
