About Event

Description: Join Joey Aquino, technology vet and investor, for an unfiltered and deeply personal conversation with serial entrepreneur Aaron Holm. Aaron, a heart patient and visionary founder, has built and scaled groundbreaking companies, including Blokable and Mylio. His journey has been marked by remarkable success and profound challenges, including a heart attack and quintuple bypass surgery in 2018, which forced him to reassess both his professional and personal life.

In this 45-minute session, Joey, who also left Amazon after a decade to prioritize his mental and physical well-being, will explore Aaron’s story of resilience and transformation. They will dive into the often-unspoken mental and physical health struggles that founders face, demystifying the hustle culture that glorifies sacrifice at the expense of health. Aaron will share how prioritizing well-being has reshaped his approach to leadership and innovation, offering invaluable insights for other entrepreneurs.

This conversation is not just about surviving in the fast-paced world of entrepreneurship—it’s about thriving by making health a priority. Founders, this is your chance to hear two seasoned leaders discuss the real cost of neglecting your health, but also the incredible opportunity that arises when you and your team prioritize well-being. Discover how fostering a culture of health can transform not just your personal life, but also the success and sustainability of your company. An open Q&A session will follow, offering the opportunity to engage directly with Joey and Aaron.
