What we covered:

  • Aaron’s journey throughout the years as a professional.
  • How his career in sales was more of an accident rather than a career path he actually wanted.
  • How the idea of “doing the things that you love and you don’t have to work a day” lead to burnout.
  • The importance of having “good” and “bad” days if you want to succeed even more with your career.
  • The importance of not letting your ego dictate your career path.

Tweetable Quotes:

“Whatever you do, some days you’re gonna suck and some days, you’re gonna be better. Everything I’ve done, there are some good days and bad days. You’ll be surprised, maybe tomorrow or next year things will change.” - Aaron Ross

“It’s easy to go back to what you used to before, but it doesn’t always work.” - Aaron Ross

“Don’t be an asshole in the way you write. Get your ego out of the way.” - Aaron Ross

“So much about doing startups is about luck.” - Kurt Daradics

“Some people may not believe in luck. They believe in fate or everything happens for a reason, and I tend to be in that camp, honestly.” - Aaron Ross

“I took the job because I knew I needed to learn that craft. And you can’t learn it by reading books. It’s a way to get paid to learn.” - Aaron Ross

I didn’t let my ego get the job that I want to. It wasn’t the title and definitely wasn’t the pay.” - Aaron Ross
