    In this episode of Build · Break · Become, Matt shares his deeply personal story of nearly quitting everything — work, university, and life in Austria.As an international university student and non-EU resident in Austria, Matt opens up about the overwhelming pressure of student struggles, job insecurity, paperwork, isolation, and the silent mental toll of starting over abroad. What began as a dream of moving to Europe slowly turned into a season of feeling stuck, lost, and questioning whether he should quit university altogether.This candid conversation explores the real side of living in Austria as a non-EU student — the pressure to secure work permits, navigate bureaucracy, adapt to a new culture, and manage loneliness far from home. Matt reflects on the breaking point where “everything felt like too much” — and the powerful turning point that changed his life.We also dive into how discipline, routine, and small daily changes helped him rebuild step by step. From hitting rock bottom to rediscovering purpose, this episode is about personal growth, resilience, and what it truly means to start over in a new country.If you’re considering moving to Austria, studying abroad, or navigating mental health challenges while living overseas, this conversation offers honesty, perspective, and hope.In this episode:The reality of being non-EU in Austria (jobs + permits + pressure to qualify to stay)00:00 Cold open — “Everything is too much”00:20 Intro + first guest moment02:10 Why Austria05:30 Non-EU reality (jobs + paperwork)10:10 Dorm life & culture differences15:40 When things went dark (Covid/winter/isolation)22:00 The shift: “This is happening to me” → “I’m doing this to me”26:30 Breaking point (job + university)30:10 The conversation that changed everything35:00 The rebuild (wake early, gym, yoga, routine)41:30 Discipline leads to motivation45:00 Why Vienna feels like home48:30 Closing lesson📍 Recorded in Vienna🎙 Podcast: Build · Break · BecomeHave you ever had a moment where you thought about quitting everything?
