How Aaron Hagan Scaled His Business to $65M Without Burning Out

Aaron Hagan almost lost everything—his business, health, and family. In this episode of The $100 Million Mindset, Todd Liles sits down with Aaron to unpack how a challenging conversation at home sparked a total transformation in how he led his people, built systems, and scaled the company.

From near-bankruptcy to launching high-performing locations across multiple cities, Aaron’s story proves that true growth only happens when you stop trying to do it all yourself.

This episode is about grit, humility, faith, and the power of leading with vulnerability.

You’ll learn how to:

-Scale your business by empowering leaders, not just building systems
-Let go of control without losing standards
-Recognize when competition is killing your culture
-Recover from failure—and use it to lead better
-Build with purpose, integrity, and faith
-Train your next generation of operators and leaders

• Systems vs. people: what really scales a company

• Why faith became Aaron’s anchor in leadership
