We had the good fortune of connecting with Austin Gardner and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Austin, what role has risk played in your life or career?
Risks are essential in life/career development and advancement. Comfort is ironically uncomfortable, so I seek out new ways to challenge myself. Always learning. Always Pushing
Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My process and ability to recognize patterns sets me apart. If there’s a particular sound I like I will ask myself why. I guess its reverse engineering in a sense.
After a lot sleepless nights and overdraft accounts , I am where I am today . It certainly hasn’t been an easy process. Its truly a game of attrition. My support system and daily routines keep me disciplined enough to weather emotional and financial storms.
This journey has came with countless lessons . However , the one that I feel is most important, is do not forget who you are.
I want to the world to know its okay to be yourself. My brand will encourage others to do so.
Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I would definitely take them to top golf , downtown pheonix , and sporting events. Maybe Zuma in Tempe if they are into dancing .
The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would like to dedicate this story to my family and friends back home in Alaska.
