Mike Hood—a man whose first 20 years of life are filled with uncertainty and upheaval, but whose last 40 years are marked by consistency, purpose, and a deep-rooted faith.
Mike is the owner of Hood Financial, a retirement planning, investment management and financial planning firm. Growing up, he’s the oldest of three children in a Navy family, meaning Mike is familiar with change. With frequent moves, and a lack of spiritual structure defining much of his early life, regular church attendance and spiritual guidance weren’t a focus at home despite his parents being baptized members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. But at age 15, much like the prophet Joseph Smith, Mike has a personal spiritual awakening—a pivotal moment that leads him to question his path, his future, and God’s role in it.
In our April episode we unpack the powerful story of how faith helped Mike find stability in the midst of chaos, laying the foundation for a life full of purpose, resilience, and lasting success.
