E364: From War Tragedy to Fudge Fabulous Business Success with Aaron Hale

Capital Hacking

In this inspiring episode of Capital Hacking, we had the privilege of interviewing Aaron Hale. Aaron Hale’s journey is one of unparalleled resilience and transformation. He served 14 years in both the Navy, as a chef to the Commander of the US 6th Fleet, and in the Army as a team leader in Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD), one of the military’s most dangerous roles. After an IED explosion left him blind, Aaron defied expectations by becoming an EOD instructor, motivational speaker, mountain climber, white water kayaker, and marathon runner. Four years later, Aaron faced another life-altering challenge when bacterial meningitis took his hearing, rendering him completely deaf.

Undeterred, Aaron rose again. He now shares his story through speaking engagements, runs marathons, and co-manages a thriving chocolate company with his wife. He’s also a dedicated husband, father of three, a real estate investor, and the host of the Point of Impact podcast. In 2023, Aaron made history as the first blind and deaf person to complete the world's toughest foot race, Badwater 135.
