Aaron Francis (@aarondfrancis) lost his job and gained a new outlook on life — or rather, he stepped into entrepreneurship for good. Aaron weighed his options, found old friends who were ready for new adventures and finally took the plunge that his supportive audience wanted to see him take.
Building his platform in public got him here. The skills he developed along the way keep the customers coming. So, where will this journey take him?
Aaron will share his approach, his fears, his hopes, and his strategy with you here today. And he's trying really hard ;)
