About Austin: I started in the hospitality industry. All went
quite well, I gained maximum trust from my superiors and quickly
climbed up the corporate ladder. However, something was not quite
right. It wasn't enough for me. I had it all but inside, I was
unhappy. And before I knew it, I was walking down a path to
nowhere. I jumped off into the heavy use of meth and alcohol.
At the beginning I was a "highly functional drug addict and
alcoholic". But it didn't last too long so my destructive
behaviours cut up with me...I hit the wall doing 105 mph after I
stayed up for 7 days straight on crystal meth. I had lost 20 lbs
and was a far cry from anything that looks like myself. This all
turn into wrecking my car, getting kicked out of my home, and for a
time sleeping in a friend's closet underneath his stairs.
At some point you have to get tired of your own bullshit and stop
blaming others.
I knew I needed help to truly breakthrough.
My moment came to me on a coaching call when my mentor asked
me;
If you were to be extremely successful 10 years from now, what is
the one thing holding you back from getting there? Without thinking
I said "DRUGS and ALCOHOL“. There it was the seed planted. That one
question changed my entire life. There, was the foundation for
everything that took place in the coming years. Recovered from my
addiction, I had to put a plan into place to keep growing as an
individual and entrepreneur. I was always attracted to Short-term
rental investing. I started with one property and quickly took my
portfolio up to three within a year. I then surrounded myself with
the right people and we now own and manage properties all over the
US.
From Crystal Meth to real estate investing... who could have
known?
Currently, I'm building out businesses in construction, development
and property management. I also work on short term rental hotel
projects.
Quickly, people started asking me for advice and I decided to start
my own consulting business for individuals /companies in the areas
of sales, money raising, and mindset training.
I will continue to create an impact, first driven focus on the
world.
I always tell myself I want to create cool things with cool people.
I can use everything I have been through as a beacon of light to
guide others people to the best version of themselves.
I will continue to fight for everyone I meet and walk off this
earth impacting the lives of everyone around me.
