What challenges did Manuel Aragon face in his early life?
Taxes can make or break a company for one, but I just think that it's underserved and my goal is to make taxes fun, informational, and educational for whoever wants to learn. Manuel Aragon is a resilient, community-minded entrepreneur and the founder of Aragon Tax Return Services. Drawing from his journey of personal growth and perseverance, he helps individuals and businesses gain financial clarity while inspiring others to embrace resilience, purpose, and continuous self-improvement. I have another book set to release called The Tax of Life. So it'll be a short story on, I guess, how I overcame the obstacles to get certified. Some of the stuff I went through as a kid, where my mental state changed and how I just started to look at business differently.
If I could get that in a lot of kids' hands at 14, I think it may help them look at life differently. I want to educate people on that says, hey, you made a bunch of money. Now let's shelter it or let's move it or let's invest it or, you know, buy equipment for the business. So it may not be cash sitting in the bank, but...
it's assets for you your family and and you know your legacy that's cool the flaw to that though is my name is rudy moore host of living the red life podcast and i'm here to change the way you see your life in your earpiece every single week if you're ready to start living the red life ditch the blue pill take the red pill join me in wonderland and change your life Welcome back to another episode of the Living Your Legacy podcast, The Red Life Edition. Moments before filming his Legacy Makers episode here with our General Loren in Studio One, we have Manuel Aragon. Manuel, how are you, my friend?
I'm great. How about you?
Fantastic. Thanks for asking. A little bird that looks a lot like you told me that you spend most of your time behind a computer.
Yes.
And this is very few moments that you are in front of cameras.
I always say, give me a corner and a calculator and I'll hide behind the scenes.
Dude, I love it. Give him a corner and a calculator, the double Cs. But now you are in front of our cameras, sir, and it's all about you. You are speaking to someone who is a huge fan of tax that understands nothing about tax, but boy, do I understand how important it is. And so does the clan here, Rudy does as well. Can you tell us why it's so important to not just have a medium, a lawyer, but a tax strategist or someone that understands the numbers by their side when starting a company?
I think taxes can make or break a company for one. Oh, for sure. You got to have a general understanding of where your profit and loss is going. And that's where I think my background is a lot deeper than taxes. You know, I started growing, working jobs, throwing the newspaper. So I've done everything you could imagine from childhood up to kind of reach where I'm at. This tax business started as a side hustle. Right on. About 12 years ago. So I was fresh out of school trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life and moved into the tax space and just started to educate myself on, you know, trying to build my own finances. And so that real world experience, as I've interacted with more clients over the years, it just shows me how unknowledgeable the general public is.
We have this big fear of, I always say, men in black suits of the IRS, and that's not the case. They're people just like us. They're there to help you if you call, with the exception of government shutdowns and stuff like that. A good space to be in, but I just think that it's underserved, and my goal is to make taxes fun, informational, and educational for whoever wants to learn.
Yeah, I completely, a thousand billion percent agree. It's absolutely underserved. There's all this loud attention with all the things that are flashy, like shoes and video games, but... It's November, December. If you are an artist that's looking for a client, now is the time to look for CPAs, tax strategists, because tax season's around the corner. And there is quality money in tax services.
