SPEAKING

I have given hundreds of presentations and spoken to thousands of people in small and large venues around the world.

Every audience is unique, but we all want to relate.

KEYNOTES & TALKS

I have given a range of keynotes, talks, and guest lectures to a variety of audiences, including the UN (2016 UN Development Goals summit in Stockholm), NYU, Chicago Booth School, City of Miami, University of Washington, Founder University, Launch Summit, King County Assessor’s Office, City of Seattle, Gratitude Railroad Annual Investor Gathering, and more.

Topics have included urban development, storytelling, urban development, enterprise software, technology innovation, mental and emotional health for entrepreneurs, affordable housing, entrepreneurialism, heart surgery, and coaching systems.

Aaron’s vulnerability in sharing the story of his open heart surgery engages listeners at an emotional level and reminds us all of the human reasons we do this work.
