In this episode of Agency Ascend, we sit down with Austin, an agency founder who shares his story of transitioning from a corporate development role into running his own independent agency. Austin breaks down the strategic mindset that helped him grow without compromising his values.
He talks about the importance of mentorship, building trust through service, and how agencies often solve problems clients don’t even know they have. More than just tactical advice, Austin opens up about what drives him: legacy, family, and purpose-driven leadership. This conversation is packed with insight for producers, agency owners, and anyone looking to grow with intention.
