Greg and Aaron - Proud Ponds

Aaron Faucett of Proud Ponds may be young in the business, but he’s no stranger to the realities of the industry. Like many in the CAC tribe, Aaron earned his early education in the school of hard knocks—learning lessons the hard way, making the common mistakes, and grinding through the tough times. What sets him apart, though, is how quickly he bounces back. Aaron has always been driven by a dream, and in the early days, that passion sometimes meant taking on jobs with slim margins—or even losses—just to build something bigger. But he’s never let pride get in the way of progress. He listens, adapts, and grows, taking advice from those who’ve paved the road before him.

 

Listening to his podcast episode with The Pond Guy is a reminder that the rocky road often teaches the most valuable lessons. It sharpens your skills, humbles your ego, and forces you to ask the right questions. Aaron’s journey isn’t just about building a business, it’s about building a life. Whether it’s implementing systems, grinding through long nights, or inviting his wife to share in the dream, he shows what it means to grow not just as an entrepreneur, but as a husband, a father, and a leader. His story is a powerful testament to resilience, humility, and the relentless pursuit of something better.
