In this episode of Burnt Out Educator, Coach Joe sits down with Aaron Schwen, founder of Charter Select, to discuss why he walked away from a successful career in the insurance industry to build a company centered around service instead of sales quotas.
Aaron shares how growing up around farms in Iowa and Minnesota shaped his work ethic, why helping charter schools became more important than maximizing commissions, and what it was really like launching a business with four children under four years old. The conversation explores entrepreneurship, burnout caused by broken systems, relationship-first sales, and why doing what's right for people is still the best business strategy.
Whether you're an educator, school leader, entrepreneur, or someone questioning your next career move, this episode is a reminder that burnout isn't always about working too hard. Sometimes it's about working in a system that no longer matches your values.
