info_outlineFrom creating worlds with digital coding to the mom-and-pop auto shop down the road, there is a wealth of generational knowledge and innovation in our workforce. It’s taken all of us to build a strong economy, but very few have been able to bridge the gap between their old-world skill sets and online digital influence.

Aaron Stokes is a 22-year veteran of the automotive repair industry, who uses his experience to help other auto repair shop owners build successful businesses. After multiple business owners sought him out for advice he recorded his first course and put it into the marketplace. It exploded and started a movement that would help bring small businesses out of obscurity and into the niche that needed them.
Listen in as we discuss how Aaron grew his course to in-person gatherings of up to 500 people in just four years. You’ll get an inside look into how Aaron runs his events and what he looks for when it comes to keeping his audience engaged and inspired. Speakers, you’ll gain insight into what exactly Aaron looks for when hiring and why he doesn’t bring some speakers back.
