“The Lemonade Stand” is a book for parents to encourage their children to be entrepreneurs. My next guest on The Shobeir Show, Aaron McDaniel, his mother gave him the book to read, and years later, he did as it inspired him to be a serial entrepreneur in tech, real estate and become a teacher.

Aaron McDaniel is a serial entrepreneur (3 exits), teacher (BerkeleyHaas), author (3 books, Wall Street Journal/National Bestseller), former corporate manager (AT&T LDP grad, Diamond Club Honoree), real estate investor (commercial/multifamily), company advisor (incl. Copilot Labs, acquired. by Open Table/Booking.com) and professional speaker (global business growth, innovation, engaging a multi-generational workforce).

Aaron is currently a member of the faculty at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business, where he teaches entrepreneurship, author of the bestselling book Global Class: How the World’s Fastest Growing Companies Scale Globally by Focusing Locally, and is a Co-Founder of 10X Innovation Lab, focused on building innovation ecosystems worldwide. Aaron is also managing director/founding partner at Grow Scale, a real estate private equity firm investing in multi-family properties across the US.

Previously, Aaron was the co-founder & CEO of Access Invest, at the time the nation’s largest mobile aggregator of private investments. Before this, Aaron co-founded Tycoon, the first real estate crowdfunding platform to be acquired (Nov. ’15) and Pong360 (acquired in 2012). He was also a partner and CMO of IP Shark, an online brand protection service. Aaron is an alumni of AT&T’s flagship Leadership Development Program (LDP) and was one of the youngest to serve as Regional Vice President (at age 27), leading a multi-state organization. Aaron has worked in business development, strategy, sales, customer care, operations & marketing and was part of AT&T’s Diamond Club (top 1% of sales managers worldwide).
