Most business owners don’t have a revenue problem. They have a structure problem.
Aaron Scott Young, Chairman and CEO of Laughlin Associates, has spent more than three decades helping entrepreneurs build companies — and the last thirty years watching successful owners make the same costly mistake: they build income without protection, growth without stability, businesses without real ownership. An entrepreneur since 1983, Young has bought, sold, and restructured companies across multiple industries and co-authored the bestselling Unshackled: The 7 Levels of Business Excellence.
In this Executive Boardroom session, Young breaks down the legal, financial, and operational gaps that leave even thriving companies exposed — and the structural moves that close them.
You’ll leave with:
- The overlooked assumptions that expose businesses to unnecessary risk
- Why the right legal and organizational structure is a strategic asset, not a compliance checkbox
- How proactive planning strengthens asset protection, business continuity, and long-term enterprise value
- A practical framework for evaluating your own business foundation
- Questions worth raising with your legal, financial, and business advisors
Young will be signing copies of Unshackled following the session.
