Description

In this episode, I sit down with Austin Zaback, a relentless entrepreneur who’s scaled his career in real estate to staggering heights. From humble beginnings in his grandparents' garage to building the number one real estate team in Arizona, Austin shares the raw truth about what it takes to succeed and it’s not the glossy, Instagram-ready version of entrepreneurship. Austin’s team, Space, closes 2,500 transactions annually, with a sales volume exceeding $1.5 billion. But as he explains, success is messy. We dive into his journey of starting 14 businesses, half of which failed, and the immense stress, anxiety and sacrifices that came with scaling. He doesn’t sugarcoat the toll on his personal life, but he also doesn’t shy away from the lessons learned along the way. Together, we explore what it means to scale with intention, why failing is non-negotiable, and how to balance the hustle with meaningful relationships. Austin’s insights are practical, heartfelt, and downright inspiring. Whether you’re in real estate, business, or just seeking clarity in your own path, this episode will challenge you to reflect on your goals and redefine what success really means.
