Napoleon Hill first wrote about the mastermind principle over 80 years ago in his classic book 'Think and Grow Rich.'
Aaron is taking Hill's classic lessons and taking them to the next level as a leader & participant in multiple mastermind groups that propel success-minded people to even greater heights of achievement.
It is almost impossible to underestimate the impact of positive, constructive association. Consciously executing the mastermind principle in your business and life is an exceptional way to ensure continued, growth-oriented interactions that propel everybody in your circle of influence to greater heights.

[Introduction]
Welcome to the terminal value Podcast where each episode provides in depth insight about the long term value of companies and ideas in our current world. Your host for this podcast is Doug Utberg, the founder and principal consultant for Business of Life, LLC.
Doug: Welcome to the terminal value podcast. I have Aaron Walker with me. So Aaron it's, it's hard to say exactly what Aaron does. He is a man of many, many talents. He is of course known mostly for his, a view from the top, book and series. But, what I actually brought him on here to talk about was the mastermind concept originated by Napoleon Hill will not originate it but popularized by Napoleon Hill, as well as many of the other really important parts of building a successful business and becoming a successful leader. Aaron, please introduce yourself to audience.
Aaron: Hey Doug, thanks for having me on, man. I really appreciate it. I'll give you a 30,000 foot view. I won't bore your audience too much. I hope I'm a native Nashvillian live in Nashville, Tennessee.
Doug: Outstanding:

So I started coaching fell in love with that process. Today we have 20 masterminds, we're in nine different countries and we absolutely are having a blast. Helping people live a very successful life and significant life. And so I've got a journey a little bit along those lines that I can share a little later how the paradigm shift changed for me and how I went from really self focused to outward focus.
Doug: Okay.
Aaron: It really changed my life.
Doug: Well, I've actually found that a lot of the most successful people and by successful, I don't just mean raking in tons of money, but the most successful people, as far as having, you know, having real whole, fulfilled lives really make that outward, outward focused shift. You know, in a, in the rotary, organization, that I'm a part of, you know, their, their motto is service above self, you know, which I think is, you know, it's a clever slogan, but at some point you really, you, you, you really get there on your own if you're going to live that fulfilled life, you know, because the thing is, if you're just chasing after dollars, there's always more dollars to chase after, and you'll just find yourself working...
