Just had a rocking podcast with Austin Eckman! Here's what I can tell you after talking to 26 year old Austin, WE ARE ALL PLAYING too small!
Austin has 100,000 people in his group of customers with his Inventr.io concept. It is a 30 day challenge that teaches STEM concepts around a storyline. In this case, your spaceship has crashed and you need to repair the craft to get back home using the provided electronics kit.
They just invested $250,000 on reworking the challenge with a production company to make it as good as possible for the end user. Version 2.0 sounds AWESOME too! That one based on a story as well!
We talk about school, pre-INVENTR.io, and what's next.
Austin is a PERFECT example of how if we work through our problems whether it be no money, depression, etc., GREATNESS comes from the ashes of burning the bridges and taking FULL responsible for yourself!
My ABSOLUTE favorite part of the interview was after he talked about potentially having a $100 million dollar exit in 5 and I asked him what's after that? Reminding me of Elon Musk he said, "I want to be the guy that takes it all and puts it ALL INTO my next venture!" Whatever that might be I'm sure will be GENUIS, we'll have to wait to see what he comes up with!!!
