My name is Aaron DeHoog.

I was teaching Bible at a high school in Palm Beach, Florida, when one night, while at a Barns and Noble, a man walked up to me and handed me the book, Retire Young, Retire Rich. He simply said, “You should read this.”

It was odd. Why would I read a book on retirement? I was only 23 years old. But, the man just stood there. So I opened the book, and started reading. I was amazed. It was the first time I read a financial paragraph that actually made sense. I turned around to thank the guy, but … he was gone.

There are moments in life, I believe, where God directly intervenes. This was one of those moments for me. That book, that moment, changed my life. The next week I enrolled to get my MBA at Palm Beach Atlantic University (Which I earned within two years while working full time), the next month I bought a home (and rented out two of the rooms, covering all my costs), and I started dating my girlfriend a bit more serious (now my wife of 20+ years and the mother of our four children).

I soon landed a career at Newsmax Media, a budding company at the time. I helped them become the media giant they are today. I was then recruited to be the CEO of a financial research company where my team and I helped our members achieve financial freedom.

How?

We simply showed our members what investments we were making before we made them … and if people wanted to follow our lead, they could, for a small fee. It was a win, win.

For example, Governor Mike Huckabee, we one such member. He said our insight is, “already helping 100,000 Americans go from confusion, fear, and frustration with their investments, to clarity, peace and success.” Sarah Palin, the former governor of Alaska, is another example. She raved about our insight saying, “I love it, it’s exactly what I needed” and went on to comment, “I made bigger gains in two weeks than I made in the last two years.”
