- Got the first job ever as a busboy in a restaurant. Moved up in the company to hold many positions, eventually attending goal as a cook. Was able to apply that experience and move jobs to a much fancier (ie: better paying) restaurant.
- Through consistent sessions with personal trainers, chefs, and therapists at Pacia, lost over 40 pounds, adopted a vegan diet, and incorporated meditation into daily life practice.
- Consistently worked through Pacia’s financial curriculum, which enabled him to buy a car and move to independent housing.
- After learning about investing, became motivated to begin a Roth-IRA (Individual Retirement Account), maxing out annual contribution limits.
- Even if Luke never adds another penny to this investment after his time at Pacia, with average market returns, this one account alone will be worth over half a million dollars when he reaches retirement age.
- Has made Salt Lake City his permanent home and is thriving in personal independence.
