Young Millionaire Leaves His Company to Continue His Christian Education
PENSACOLA, Fla., September 16, 2024 (Newswire.com) - In a world where success is often measured by material wealth and social media fame, 23-year-old millionaire Blake Alma has taken an unexpected path. The founder of CoinHub Media, a key player in the numismatic community, has achieved extraordinary milestones at a young age. With over $3.2 million in sales and a social media following nearing 2 million, Blake's accomplishments in the business world are staggering. He is also the author of several books, including The CoinHub: An Ultimate Guide to Coin Errors, a long-standing bestseller in its category.
Yet, despite his impressive achievements, Blake Alma made a life-altering decision in January 2024: he stepped away from his thriving business to pursue a Christian education at Pensacola Christian College (PCC). His decision to continue his education sparked widespread curiosity and speculation, particularly given the massive success of CoinHub and his involvement in the numismatic community.
Blake made the announcement via CoinHub's Instagram, sharing, "As many of you know, I embarked on a new chapter this past spring to attend Pensacola Christian College. This journey has taken me away from my main office in Ohio, but not away from the unwavering passion of the numismatic community...My time at PCC has been nothing short of transformative, and I'm thrilled to announce that I will continue my academic journey there for the 2024-2025 year."
His choice to continue at PCC, where he is pursuing a degree in interdisciplinary studies with a focus on marketing and political science, is a testament to his commitment to personal and spiritual growth. In an Instagram post from May 2024, at the close of his first semester, Blake reflected on the experience, saying, "Of all my grand adventures, none compared to my first semester at PCC. I love you all so much, and thank you for making this the experience of a lifetime."
Blake assured CoinHub's future by appointing Ben Hutton as the new CMO, along with his dedicated six-member team, to manage the business operations effectively while he's away pursuing his education. Ben, a Cedarville University student with a major in marketing, is ready to continue Blake’s legacy.
Blake's transition from the business world to academia is not merely a professional shift but a deep spiritual journey. In a farewell address delivered before he left for PCC in January 2024, Blake spoke candidly about his feelings: "I have always had mixed feelings about this moment of saying goodbye. I am very grateful for CoinHub, but this did not make me happy. Life isn’t about coins, metals, and money. Do not spend your life teaching people how to be rich, but educate them on how to serve God, for that is the only true happiness."
His departure from the business world also came with a call to faith. In a more recent farewell address on his Instagram page, posted in August 2024, Blake urged his followers to consider their relationship with Christ, quoting Romans 10:9: "If you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
Blake’s supporters have rallied around him, with many commending his choice. One follower remarked, "We suppose that you evangelize with everything you do, and you guys are doing a great job at it. God bless you." Another added, "God bless CoinHub, and Blake, you have built an amazing platform."
Blake Alma’s story is one of success, gratitude, and transformation. While he could have continued to expand his multi-million-dollar business, he chose a different path—one that emphasizes faith, community, and service over material wealth. In doing so, Blake has become an inspiring figure, not just in the numismatic world but also for those seeking a deeper purpose beyond success. His journey at PCC is just beginning, and if his past is any indication, the future holds even greater promise.
