Aaron Chapman, an investment property finance leader whose team underwrites a huge percentage of all investor real estate mortgages in the United States, and author of the new book Redneckonomics: Unconventional Success by Takin’ the Beatin’ Path joins Enterprise Radio.
This episode of Enterprise Radio is in association with the Author Channel.
Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Aaron Chapman discuss the following:
- Your path into finance is one of the most unlikely origin stories in the industry — cattle ranching, oil fields, mining, long-haul trucking. Take us back to the beginning. How did a guy with that background end up becoming one of the most respected names in investment property lending?
- There’s a moment in the book where someone tells you that if you want to make it in this business, you need to wear the “corporate uniform.” You refused. Walk us through that decision — what was going through your head, and what happened to your business after that?
- You structured the entire book around the idea of taking beatings. Without sugarcoating it, what’s the single hardest beating you’ve taken in your career or your life, and what did it teach you that you couldn’t have learned any other way?
- You write that you struggle with the phrase “you deserve it” — that nothing is deserved, everything is earned. With that philosophy in mind, what are you most proud of? Not what looks most impressive on paper, but what cost you the most to build?
- You push back hard on how the world defines success — the social media version, the money version, the “must be nice” version. So how does Aaron Chapman define it? What does success actually feel like to you?
- The last chapter is called “When I Go to the Grave, I Am Comin’ in Hot.” When that day comes, what do you want to be able to say you accomplished — not just in business, but as a father, a husband, and a man of faith?
