Summary
Today I have a conversation for you on our podcast that I think everyone will enjoy regarding leadership and business and balancing it all with family.
This episode is different than any other we've ever recorded in that we spend some time talking directly to the men who are trying to find that elusive "balance" needed to effectively play the role of husband, father, provider and business owner.
A mentor of mine, Aaron Walker joins me for this discussion. He is a founder of an incredible mastermind group for male business owners that I'm excited to tell you about. Some incredibly influential and accomplished men are already part of this group and I'm honored to be joining forces with them.
This episode has something for everyone, but if you're a guy who is finding it hard to "keep it all together" as you pursue a fulfilling life of both high achievement and family balance, you'll especially appreciate this episode. Quite likely, the right relationships are the missing key - and we discuss how to address that on today's show.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, business building warrior. Thanks for joining me. Another episode of Silent Sales |
| 0:06.2 | Machine Radio. We have a guest today. This is an unusual episode. It is not one of our |
| 0:13.1 | hundreds of success stories from our training and coaching programs. Instead, today, it is a |
| 0:19.1 | mentor of mine. And I think we could probably count on both hands the number of times I've brought someone |
| 0:25.2 | on the show that isn't here specifically to talk about e-commerce strategy. |
| 0:31.3 | We've got a lot of great trainings in our past episodes, and if you're here to learn e-commerce |
| 0:36.0 | today, we've got some great business strategy tips for you and advice and information, but this isn't one of our past episodes, and if you're here to learn e-commerce today, we've got some great business |
| 0:37.5 | strategy tips for you and advice and information, but this isn't one of our typical episodes. |
| 0:42.1 | Today, instead, we're going to meet Aaron Walker. We call him Big A. That's what his friends call him. |
| 0:46.4 | And he's been a friend and mentor, like I mentioned, for coming up on about 20 years he remembered today. |
| 0:51.8 | I couldn't believe it's been that long, but I think he's right, |
| 0:58.8 | which is pretty incredible. But at some of the more difficult times in his life and in my life, we've been there for each other, and we've gotten to know each other really well. And one of the |
| 1:03.8 | things that he does extremely well is mentor men who are business owners. Now, we're not trying to |
| 1:10.5 | leave the ladies out today. I just have |
| 1:13.5 | noticed that women tend to form their own support groups really, really well. They've got their |
| 1:19.8 | friend groups and they stay in communication. I know my wife is that way. Most women don't struggle |
| 1:24.3 | with that. Not nearly to the extent the most men I know do. |
| 1:28.3 | And when you factor in the fact that this is e-commerce, where we say all the time, e-commerce |
| 1:33.4 | can be so isolating. |
| 1:35.3 | It can really get you out there on an island if you're not careful. |
| 1:38.4 | Well, we need each other. |
| 1:40.4 | So ladies, welcome to the episode today. |
