Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another episode of Mic Unplugged, and today we have a powerhouse of wisdom, a mentor to the elite, and a man who's turned success into significance.
From building million-dollar businesses to transforming lives through his Iron Sharpens Iron's mastermind, my friend is back for round two, like we promised, ready to challenge, inspire, and push us to greater heights. Everybody give a warm round of applause to the legendary, the visionary, the unstoppable, Mr. Big A himself, Aaron Walker. Aaron, how are you doing today?
Come on, Mick. I don't know if I can align myself with such an introduction, but hopefully your team won't be too disappointed, nor your audience. So, man, good to see you today.
Hey, definitely not disappointed because the people wanted you back. We promised that we would have you back because there's so much that we talked about in the first episode that just felt like we could take people places, man. And again, you know that you are... One of my mentors that I look up to, and I kind of wanted to start there, the power of mentorship, man.
Like, what has mentorship meant to you? You know, the Iron Sharpens Iron mastermind is all about that. Like, let's go deeper into mentorship for the people.
You know, I've had two really strong mentors in my life, David Landreth and Bob Warren. I didn't really understand what mentorship was about until I was around 39, 40 years old. It was a new concept to me because I was kind of the lone wolf. You know, it was like, hey, I got it figured out. I can do this. I'm my own man. I don't need other people in my life. I want to create my own trail.
And I found out that trail led to a dead stop. And I was like, man, I was at the juncture of making a terrible decision or a worse decision. And I really needed God to intervene in my life and to expose me to something that was going to put me on a different trajectory. And he introduced me to a guy named Bob Warren, lived in Hardin, Kentucky.
