<![CDATA[The Aaron Schlein Story]]>Mon, 16 Jan 2023 14:40:57 +0000Captivate.fmAaron Schleinhttps://artwork.captivate.fm/0dfdc2a4-024e-48c6-9ea7-2daa9d3c5415/img_6577.jpgThe Aaron Schlein StoryAaron SchleinAaron SchleinI didn’t set out to become a paid speaker or a professional podcaster. But those things happened. And it all began the day I started telling one simple personal story. You have a story like that. On The Aaron Schlein Story, I share everything I learn about building your personal network, expanding your influence, and monetizing your expertise. It all starts with that ONE damn story.https://aaronschlein.comnoepisodichttps://feeds.captivate.fm/theaaronschleinstory/What is your ONE story?What is your ONE story?

A single dramatic and captivating real-life tale can become the foundation of your personal brand business.

Book deals.

Speaking gigs.

Affiliate partnerships.

These are just a few ways entrepreneurs generate revenue year after year because of one story from their lives. And the reality is that you don't have to land a passenger jet on the Hudson River to have a story that earns you a revenue-rich reputation.

I didn't set out to become a paid speaker or a flag waving travel advocate. Those things came as a result of sharing a simple story about traveling with my grandmother.

My story got people's attention. It opened their minds and vividly illustrated the importance of travel in young people's lives.

As my story began to spread through my podcast and personal network, lives were touched and changed. People I've never met heard my story and started taking their kids on trips that they might not have otherwise.

I'll ask you again: What is your ONE story that will change people's lives (including your own!)?

In many ways, my work has since transcended those simple beginnings. But it all started with that one damn story.

Period. End of story. 😜

I used to think that lives filled with creativity and exploration were reserved for other people. I'm here to tell you that they're not.

Over the past 18 months, I’ve grown to believe that our best lives are there for the taking as long as we keep moving forward.

You must believe in yourself. You must surround yourself with the right people.

And you can’t be afraid to piss people off.

The Dramatic Dad podcast is nothing more and nothing less than the real story — as it unfolds — of my journey to build a business around my passion and create a dream life for my family.

The best part is that no one, not even me, knows how this will all play out.

Please take a moment and visit DramaticTravels.com/FLYTE.

Travel has the power to transform young lives, and dramatic life-changing travel experiences should not be reserved for the fortunate few.

When I was a kid, I was lucky enough to have adults in my life who understood the value of travel. They got me out into the world and positively changed the course of my life. Travel instilled in me levels of humility, gratitude, patience, and empathy that may not have developed otherwise.

Realizing just how fortunate I was, I began to imagine that someday I would do something to give under-served youth an opportunity to explore the world the way I did.

Recently, I learned that there is an existing organization doing exactly what I’d always envisioned. That organization is FLYTE.

FLYTE is a non-profit organization that empowers students in under-served communities through transformative travel experiences. FLYTE was founded in 2015 by travel author and blogger, Matthew Kepnes, better known as Nomadic Matt.

FLYTE UPDATE!

In every single episode of Dramatic Travels, you’ve heard me mention FLYTE.

FLYTE is non-profit that helps provide a global education to underserved youth by taking them on transformational trips.

Just last week, students from Victor, Montana returned from a FLYTE-sponsored trip to Guatemala. That life-changing trip for these students, who live in a town with a population of 745 people, was made possible through donations from individuals like you–individuals who understand the power of travel and believe that the transformational experiences–like the Victor students had–are a crucial part of every child’s education.

To celebrate 20 episodes of Dramatic Travels, FLYTE’s founder, Matthew Kepnes AKA Nomadic Matt, was kind enough to share the following message to celebrate the partnership between Dramatic Travels and FLYTE.

DRAMATIC TRAVELS DAILY

If travel is important to you, then you have to think about traveling—every single day.

Life equips us with a wicked treasure chest of excuses not to travel.

What’s worse, every excuse is cleverly disguised as some compelling reason why we should just stay home and spend our most vibrant years up to our necks in nagging chores and to-do lists.

I love to travel. There was a time, not that long ago, when the responsibility of adulthood became so consuming that I’d often go weeks without even thinking about traveling.

What this taught me is the importance of keeping travel top of mind.

For the next seven days, you are going to get a small but powerful daily dose of travel inspiration–to help you keep travel on the brain no matter how hectic your life gets.

Every morning you’ll get to wake up to an exciting, educational, and entertaining travel podcast coming at you in easy to consume 3-5 minute episodes.

I hope you’ll make these daily episodes of Dramatic Travels part of your routine, so you can experience for yourself the magic that happens when you’ve got travel on the brain.

Blog post: “How to HEAR your travel memories“

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

([4:15]) Dan didn’t travel much as a kid.

([4:35]) Dan grew up in New England, where people “don’t travel very much”. As a kid, Dan’s idea of travel was going 40 miles into Boston.

([6:20]) “People get trapped in their routines” and do the same trips over and over.

([7:20]) Dan went to college in Philadelphia, which he described as “like being on another planet.”

([8:10]) Dan was almost 40 when he fell in love with travel

(8:20) Dan was inspired by the book The New Global Student by Maya Frost. In 2005, Maya, her husband, and their four daughters left their suburban American to have an adventure abroad.

([11:45]) Dan and his family moved to London for a year in 2014. This is when Dan began to experience a “higher level of travel”.

([13:05]) Dan and his family used London “as a launchpad” to see Europe. They ended up visiting 11 countries.

([16:00]) When Dan travels, his mind is “on fire.”

([16:20]) “There is a massive link between travel and intellectual development.”

([16:30]) Eric Demaine and John Quincy Adams are two examples of the powerful impact travel has on intellectual development.

([17:55]) “Moving and traveling are components of the ideal education.”

([22:00]) Dan considers living in Manhattan to be “pure bliss”.

([24:20]) Dan credits his coaching as a reason his decision-making skills have become well-developed.

([24:20]) Dan credits his coaching as a reason his decision-making skills have become well-developed.

([27:55]) Dan’s homeschooling journey began when he started doing Kumon workbooks with his son.

([31:00]) “Once you’re liberated from the attendance obligations of a school…the whole world opens up to you.”

([32:55]) One of the privileges of of homeschooling is that Dan and his family get to spend a month in Florida during the winter.

([35:30]) “There are billionaires who are afraid to pull their kids out of school.”
