From Blue-Collar Beginnings to Entrepreneurial Success: Greg Aler's Journey

Being obsessive-compulsive is one of the greatest things for drivens to actually embrace.
Ever wondered how someone can go from small-town roots to building multiple successful companies? In this episode of the 'I Am Driven Podcast', host Dr. Douglas Brackmann chats with Greg Aler, a dynamic entrepreneur who did just that. Born in rural Ohio, Greg's early years were marked by a blue-collar upbringing and a struggle to fit in. He found solace in partying through high school and college, which eventually led to his first job post-law school.
But Greg's driven nature wouldn't let him settle for mediocrity. He rebounded quickly, landing a position at one of the world's largest law firms before setting out on his own entrepreneurial path at just 30 years old. Greg founded AlerStallings and Golden Reserve, two companies that have since expanded to 13 locations across Ohio, offering innovative fee structures in estate and retirement planning for 'the other 99%ers'.
Throughout the episode, Greg shares candid stories about his journey, the challenges he faced, and the importance of building a team that both respects and challenges each other. Dr. Brackmann provides valuable insights on how being obsessive-compulsive can actually be a positive trait for those with a driven personality. He also offers practical tips on managing impulses and distractions.
If you're curious about harnessing your inner drive and turning it into a force for success, this episode is packed with wisdom and inspiration. Tune in to hear how Greg turned his blue-collar beginnings into a thriving entrepreneurial career.
