Background

About Aaron T.

Mission Statement: Every day is a chance to improve myself and help others. I want to take time every day to grow physically, mentally, socially, and spiritually. I want my life to be used as a means to help others find their own life purpose and to walk down a path of growth, gratitude, positivity, and reflection. I want to help people to only compare their current selves to their past selves, not to anyone else, nor compare others with anyone else. I want to grow my own finances so those around me and myself can live free from financial stresses and so I can help my community. Mind Coffee: We are a specialty coffee shop with the mission to spread mental health awareness and change the narrative surrounding mental health. Are you in the coffee / mental health field?

The key to success is understanding the values of your product, finding the audience who needs them, and getting them to want to learn more about you.

Ducere provides high-quality, industry relevant BA and MBA programs in partnership with their university partners. Being designed for the working professional, and with the option to replace the BA requirement with management experience to enter an MBA, Ducere is the perfect option for many leaders in management looking to earn their MBA. One of my Life Adventures: Upon graduating from UCI, I flew to South Korea with an 18-month working visa, dollars, and the goal of supporting myself as an actor until my visa expired. I was fortunate to land everything from lead roles to cameos in dozens of commercials, dramas, movies, short-films, and other productions. I also had the opportunity to work as the director of content and operations for a SaaS startup, where I was in charge of creating content for and marketing the launch of our app. We reached downloads in under 90 days. My budget? 0 dollars. Our conversion rate from free-to-paid was over 30 percent, and with a 2.5% churn rate, the founder was pretty happy. In addition to acting and working with the SaaS startup, I was fortunate to land a contract job where I quickly became the main instructor for orientations and leadership classes for MBA programs at top Korean universities and leadership workshops for executives at fortune 500 companies.
