Listen Later

Get ready for an electrifying episode of Eagle Freedom Presents that delivers massive value for every aspiring and current entrepreneur! Deston sits down with the ultimate expert in business formation and growth, Aaron Young, CEO of Laughlin & Associates, which has served over 100,000 businesses in 54 years.


Aaron’s life is a masterclass in resilience and unconventional success. Growing up financially constrained, he learned to be resourceful, launching his first ventures as a teen before starting a recycling business at 18. This episode reveals how he carved his own path, choosing to think outside the box rather than follow traditional models.


What You'll Uncover in this Interview:
  • The Unconventional CEO: Hear Aaron's candid story of rising from financial struggle and navigating bankruptcy to becoming a top business executive and eventually purchasing Laughlin & Associates at age 37.
  • The Power of Integrity: Aaron shares critical insights from his 40 years of building companies, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing employees over personal gain—a strategy that allowed his company to weather the 2008 crisis and even thrive while he faced a personal financial setback.
  • Resilience Redefined: Learn how Aaron and his wife demonstrated unwavering strength and resilience after he was wrongly indicted for tax evasion, detailing how his company survived and grew under his wife's leadership while he served an 18-month sentence.
  • Strategies for Tough Times: Discover the mindset and business strategies needed to turn adversity into opportunity, including lessons from the Great Depression that propelled companies like Kellogg's to market dominance.
  • The Entrepreneur's Toolkit: Aaron promotes his books, "The Critical 20" and "Unshackled," offering practical, experience-based guidance on financial strategies, idea validation (like the story of Pictionary's creator), and maintaining the long-term perspective crucial for success.


This is a must-watch for anyone who wants to "Rise, Inspire, and Overcome" in the volatile world of business. Aaron Young proves that the journey to success is rarely straight, but with courage, integrity, and resilience, you can build a lasting legacy.
