Mort Aaronson: Renowned Coach & Mentor

A flavorful conversation with Mort Aaronson: surely the only Fortune 200 CEO who has both transitioned into coaching and written his own cookbook?

In this episode, Mort, who is now a renowned coach mentor, offers insights from his long and varied career, explaining both how and why he has followed such a unique path to success.

Mort explains how he discovered a drive to coach when the human side of the business world overtook the thrill and the hunt of corporate America for his attention. He also shares personal stories, such as how the deaths of three loved ones forced him to reevaluate what really made him tick - and make some serious lifestyle changes.

We may perceive remote work culture to be a relatively new phenomenon, but during this discussion with Alex, Mort reveals his extensive hybrid history - and it began in the 1980s! As a pioneering digital warrior who used to travel 220 nights of the year, he is the perfect person to ask for their take on the modern workplace.

Mort is currently in the process of converting his cookbook, Toughest Table, into a book about business, so Alex makes sure to ask him about his inspiration in this episode.
