  • Aaron Parry: They Not Like Us: A 12minconvo About Breaking Free From Expectations /Ep 3554

About Aaron Parry

Like so many others, I was lost in the noise of so-called gurus and empty promises of overnight success. I spent years chasing strategies, trying to build something that worked, only to be met with failure after failure. It wasn’t just the financial loss—it was the constant blow to my confidence...

…Breaking Free from the Cycle of Frustration

• Overwhelmed & Disorganized – I struggled to gain traction in business.
• Failed Attempts – Every setback made me question my ability to succeed.
• Craving Freedom – I wasn’t after shortcuts—I wanted financial & personal freedom on my own terms.
• Lack of Connection – I wasn’t reaching my audience or making an impact.

The Mindset Shift That Changed Everything

My breakthrough moment came when I realized that success wasn’t about hacks, tactics, or the perfect product—it was about:
• Mindset – Developing a resilient, success-driven mentality.
• Community – Surrounding myself with people on the same journey.
• Small, Consistent Progress – Focusing on long-term, sustainable growth.

Instead of chasing quick wins, I committed to building something real—a movement dedicated to cutting through the nonsense and helping people make real progress.

Launching ‘They Not Like Us’ – A Platform for Real Change

I created They Not Like Us as a podcast and community for entrepreneurs, creatives, and dreamers who are tired of the fluff and ready to take real steps toward success. Every episode, every story, and every connection is built on the core belief that:
• Mindset matters more than methods.
• Resilience is the key to long-term success.
• Community fuels progress and accountability.

Why My Story Matters

I’ve walked the path of failure, doubt, and imposter syndrome. But I’ve also learned how to overcome fear, stay committed, and build something that truly impacts others. Now, I help others do the same.

Looking for a Guest Who Brings Authentic, Relatable Insights?

If your audience craves real conversations about entrepreneurship, personal growth, and mindset, I’d love to share my journey on your podcast. Let’s start a conversation that inspires and empowers.
