Remarkably, he generated his first million dollars in revenue through e-commerce and digital marketing at age 22 and increased gross profits by 200 times at his first job.
Aaron’s journey into writing and spreading positivity was instigated by a personal crisis involving his son in 2019. Throughout his life, he was blessed with personal and professional challenges, including dark thoughts as a teenager, facial paralysis at age 20, a forced resignation during an illness at age 32, and a harrowing experience at age 35 when his son nearly died in his arms, accompanied by dad guilt.
Aaron shares the mindset and strategies he employed to overcome these obstacles. Aaron believes that getting stuck is a powerful reminder that we’ve outgrown our current path. This mantra reflects his philosophy of embracing challenges as opportunities for growth and transformation.

Aaron Pang,The Purpose Club創辦人。二十年來,涉足於科技、跨國企業、全球四大會計師事務所,曾擔任微軟和德勤的業務轉型和數字顧問、出任Lalamove董事總經理。
Aaron同時是一位勵志作家和演講者,一直用文字和聲音遊歷世界:著作獲企鵝集團加持出版;他所創立和主持有關生命意義的播客,在亞洲排名第一; 並獲得澳大利亞中國校友藝術及創意產業獎。
他經常到企業和學校演講,分享的不是他有多成功,而是他曾經的傷痛:
在小學時,他被同學嘲笑外貌,被他們每天唱著:「矇豬眼,冬菇頭,屎塔蓋,笠住個狐狸嘴」。
在中學時,他在校運會贏了三枚金牌和傑出運動員獎,卻被全校喝倒采。回到家,他對父母報喜不報憂;關上門後,一個人哭得很傷心。
Aaron變得越來越沉默,面對校園欺凌,家中等問題,他活得非常吃力。
14歲,他開始傷害自己,以麻醉心深處的痛。但傷痛好像沒有停止。
20歲,他打算成為精算師,夢想卻被煞停了 — 在大學考試期間,突然面部癱瘓,確診貝爾麻痹。心靈書藉《相約星期二》陪他渡過一個又一個星期,並啟發他希望有天寫書,幫助他人。
32歲,壯年的他處於事業高峰,他再次被診斷貝爾麻痺,被迫辭職。人生又再停擺。
35歲,初為人父的喜悅大於一切。惟一次意外,他的兒子差點在他懷裡死去,小生命幾乎永遠停留在那個瞬間。兒子醒了,他開始寫作。
Aaron的使命感,源於他的人生經歷。生命裡的傷害和無奈,令他明白,如果人生好像走不下去了,不妨停一停,好好接納自己,才有見到希望和力量的可能。
今天,Aaron也會偶爾停下來,以作家、主持人、演講者的身份分享自己的故事,送上一點正能量前行。
