Finding God and Million-Dollar Success in Prison with Entrepreneur Paul Aragon From Adversity to Abundance

Wanting to show his alcoholic parents that he didn’t need them to be on top of the world, Paul Aragon found himself in prison. He spent his childhood making $40,000-80,000 weekly selling drugs and eventually ended up with 7 felonies. But it turns out that prison was the best thing that could’ve happened to him. It’s in there that he found God and started rebuilding his life. Today, he runs his own multi-million dollar roofing company.
 
This is the story of the rocky roads Paul took to overcome health, legal, financial, and relationship adversity.
 
“It's not all gonna come together right away. You're gonna have to work at it. It's gonna take daily habits and daily discipline; and if you could do a few things each day to impact your business and impact your financial future, that's what you gotta do” (47:33)
