Aaron Scott Young

Aaron Scott Young doesn’t believe most business owners have a revenue problem—he believes they have a structure problem. As Chairman and CEO of Laughlin Associates, a company that has supported entrepreneurs for more than 50 years, Aaron has spent over three decades watching successful business owners make the same costly mistake: they build income, but not protection… growth, but not stability… businesses, but not real ownership. An entrepreneur since 1983, Aaron has bought, sold, and restructured companies across multiple industries. What he’s seen firsthand is this—most entrepreneurs are far more exposed than they realize, often operating under a false sense of security that doesn’t hold up when it matters most. Today, Aaron helps business owners fix that. He’s known for breaking down complex strategies around structure, compliance, and asset protection into clear, practical moves that immediately strengthen a business. His work focuses on helping entrepreneurs protect what they’ve built, keep more of what they earn, and scale without unnecessary risk. Aaron has spoken internationally on these topics and is the co-author of the bestselling book Unshackled: The 7 Levels of Business Excellence.
