Aaron, Lapedis knows what a second chance looks like.

Just over 16 years ago, Aaron was thriving as an art gallery owner in Denver, Colorado. However, the recession hit hard, and his business faced unprecedented challenges. As he struggled with financial burdens, his personal life was also in turmoil, with his wife experiencing a difficult pregnancy and his father’s health declining.

In December of 2008, everything came to a head. Faced with mounting debts and the possibility of losing his gallery, Aaron’s world crumbled. The stress culminated in a massive heart attack on January 5, 2009 — an event that would forever change his perspective on life. Doctors informed him that if he had waited just two months longer, he wouldn’t have survived. This shocking revelation forced Aaron to reevaluate what truly mattered..

With a newfound appreciation for life, he shifted his focus from merely surviving to thriving. He transformed his gallery, focusing on creating meaningful experiences for his customers, and rewrote his book, which eventually became the bestseller "Garage Sale Millionaire." This book details his journey and offers insights into how anyone can turn collectibles into profit. Anyone can do it, he says, especially in this digital world.

Aaron's experience is about the preciousness of time, the importance of family and about creating opportunity even in the midst of difficult times. Listen and consider how important it is to make every moment of your life count.
