End of the World to New Beginnings

Our guest Aaron had one huge obstacle after another sent his way which would have meant the end of the world for a lot of people but for Aaron, it just meant that he got to do things in a different way. Completely blind and then completely deaf, he managed to turn things around, go up Mt. Everest, start a business, and even meet the love of his life.

Learning from Mistakes

The first property that you buy will almost always be a mistake. This is what happened with Aaron, and from this mistake, he learned everything that he needed to know so that when he bought his second and third properties, he was more prepared and better off. Sometimes, we need to make mistakes for us to become better.
