About Austin

My Story

I was building a brand-new company when I found out I had a brain tumor. There's no playbook for that. As a husband, father of two, and now a founder, I had no choice but to keep pushing forward. Through surgery, setbacks, and a recovery that had to share a calendar with payroll, I created something bigger than myself. Everything I teach about leadership and problem-solving was forged in that season.
