Aaron is definitely in top 1% of coaches on this platform 👑
It's easy to find experts and successful people but very rare to find someone that can actually listen, understand your needs and goals and masterfully coach you to a similar level of success.
The whole point of Clarity is to compress decades of experience into days -- so you don't have to learn through painful trial and error. Aaron has done it all and has a wealth of knowledge.
The call was worth x10 what he actually charged 🔥
Aaron is awesome and down to earth, what a fun conversation it was.
I'm working on a game that I kicked off recently and needed a bit of high level guidance on how to move forward.
His expertise definitely shined through, I know what I gotta work on next.

My call with Aaron was not only helpful but inspiring. Aaron doesn't like excuses or "should-of, could-of, would-of's". He likes passion, action and idea's that go beyond the norm. He asked thought-provoking questions that led to product ideas, but also really listened to what I was saying which informed him about what drives me; a key to his strategy. We covered how to discover my market, ways to build engagement and customers, as well as, best format for my game. All in all a productive call!
