    Rafting without a paddle | Friday Rant with Austin Linney | Construct your life #767

    Welcome back! In today’s Friday Rant, I talk about what it really means to surrender control—like rafting down a raging river without a paddle. Too often, we cling to outcomes, try to control every detail, and curate a “perfect” life… only to block the very surprises and breakthroughs we’ve been waiting for. Whether it’s a divorce, a move, a business deal, or a big life change, sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is let go, trust the current, and allow life to unfold. Key Highlights: - Life Without a Paddle: Why surrendering control opens the door to growth, clarity, and opportunities you can’t plan for. - The Trap of Control: Curating a perfect, “safe” life often robs us of joy, curiosity, and the unexpected gifts of the journey. - Identity Shifts: Big transitions—leaving a job, ending a relationship, starting fresh—require us to release old narratives. - The Power of Surrender: Letting go doesn’t mean giving up; it means creating space for life to show up for you. Final Thoughts: You don’t have to paddle through every moment of life. Sometimes the most courageous choice is to trust the river, let it carry you, and see where it takes you. If this landed with you, share it with someone who’s trying to control every detail—and remind them that letting go might be the answer. See you next time! 👉 Stop playing small, book a call!

    The Healing Power of Sound with Hil | Construct your life #766

    Welcome back! In this episode, I sit down with Hil to explore the world of sound healing, music, and the deeper connection between frequency and our wellbeing. Hil shares her story of growing up singing, navigating chronic illness, and discovering the transformative power of sound baths—not just for herself, but for others who’ve experienced real, physical and emotional breakthroughs. We dive into how trauma gets stored in the body, why creativity is medicine, and how music can reconnect us to joy in a world that’s become obsessed with optimization and productivity. Key Highlights: - The Healing Power of Sound: How sound baths and frequency work can ease pain, release trauma, and reset the nervous system. - A Personal Journey: Hil’s own experience going from chronic illness and back pain to discovering freedom through music and sound. - Stored Trauma: Why grief, anger, and shame can live in the body—and how sound helps move stuck energy. - Music as Medicine: Beyond knowledge and hustle, music and creativity are essential parts of being human. - Breaking Patterns: If what you’ve been trying isn’t working, maybe it’s time to create new patterns of healing and self-care. - Living in Balance: Why scheduling rest, creativity, and time away from devices is as important as any business strategy. Final Thoughts: This episode is your reminder that healing isn’t always logical—it’s often creative, emotional, and vibrational. Whether it’s sound baths, music, or simply reconnecting with nature, the real medicine is remembering how to live fully and be present.

    The mission vs the outcome | Friday Rant with Austin Linney | Construct your life #765

    Welcome back! In today’s Friday Rant, I talk about the difference between chasing the thing and staying true to the mission. The thing can be a deal, a client, or a specific outcome—but if you attach your happiness to that, you’re in for a rough ride. Not every deal closes. Not every client signs. Not every goal gets hit. But when you anchor yourself to the mission—your values, your purpose, the impact you want to create—you’ll find peace even when the outcomes don’t go your way. Key Highlights: - Mission vs. Outcome: A deal falling through doesn’t mean you’ve failed if you’re still living your mission. - Detach from Results: When you base your happiness on outcomes you can’t control, disappointment is inevitable. - My Mission: To impact as many people as possible at all times—not tied to money, clients, or numbers. - Why Expectations Hurt: Most frustration comes from expecting results you never had control over in the first place. - The Bigger Picture: If you’re learning, growing, and chasing your mission, then you’re winning—even without the short-term outcome. Final Thoughts:Don’t let deals, clients, or outcomes define you. Anchor yourself to your mission, and you’ll always be moving forward no matter what.

    The future of buying and selling businesses with Clint Fiore | Construct your life #764

    Welcome back! In this episode, I sit down with Clint Fiore, a business broker who’s changing the game for buyers and sellers alike. Clint shares his journey from startup founder to building a brokerage he wished existed when he was trying to buy his first business. We talk about the rise of ETA, why authenticity beats credentials, and how his new platform, Dealonomy, is making business buying and selling faster, fairer, and way more transparent. If you’ve ever thought about buying or selling a business, this conversation will give you the insider’s playbook. Key Highlights: - From Startup to Brokerage: Clint’s background as an entrepreneur led him to build the kind of buyer-friendly brokerage he couldn’t find when he started. - Industry Shift: The biggest change isn’t in how deals are done—it’s in the massive surge of buyers flooding the market. - Authenticity Wins: Forget acronyms and polished suits—buyers and sellers want real people they can trust. - How to Stand Out as a Buyer: To brokers, show you’re a reliable closer. To sellers, show you care about their people, culture, and legacy. - The Surrogate Kid Effect: Sellers often want to hand their business to someone who feels like a younger version of themselves. - Dealonomy’s Edge: A buyer-focused platform built on quality control, zero commissions for sellers, and a $10K guarantee—reimagining the deal process from the ground up. - The Future of Brokerage: Less mystery, more transparency, and a process that serves both sides without wasting time. Final Thoughts:Buying or selling a business doesn’t have to feel like chasing a needle in a haystack. Clint’s approach—and Dealonomy’s model—proves that when you align incentives and focus on quality, everyone wins.

    Laugh | Friday Rant with Austin Linney | Construct your life #763

    Episode Summary: Welcome back! In today’s Friday Rant, I dive into something simple but powerful: laughter. When was the last time you really laughed? As adults, we get so caught up in chasing numbers, optimizing every second, and living for social media validation that we forget to enjoy life. We’re “on” 24/7—talking about revenue, followers, units—but missing the small, real moments that actually make life meaningful. This is your reminder to step away from the grind and rediscover the joy, spontaneity, and fun that made you come alive as a kid. Key Highlights: - The Trap of Optimization: In trying to maximize everything, we’ve minimized joy. - Social Media Illusion: Likes, followers, and business metrics won’t replace genuine laughter. - Rediscover Play: From comedy specials to golf with friends, simple joys matter more than any hustle stat. - Unplug to Reconnect: Disconnection from screens is the gateway to connection with people and yourself. - Laughter as Medicine: Real laughs with your kids, partner, or friends are what you’ll remember—not the revenue sheet. Final Thoughts: Your homework this week: seek laughter, chase joy, and find moments that remind you what life is really about. Because at the end of the day, money fades, followers fade, but laughter and love don’t. 👉 Stop playing small, book a call!

    The Business Everyone Overlooks (and Shouldn’t) with Nick Hancock | Construct your life #762

    Episode Summary: Welcome back! Today I sit down with Nick Hancock—better known online as the mattress guy—to talk about what it means to own your lane and go all in. Nick’s story is wild: from getting fired from a 9–5 to stepping into his family’s decades-old mattress business, he’s now running his own shop and using social media to disrupt an industry that hasn’t changed much in years. We talk about imposter syndrome, building a family legacy, and how he’s turning personal brand + transparency into six-figure deals with hotels and Airbnbs. Nick proves that sometimes the “unsexy” businesses are the ones with the biggest opportunity. Key Highlights: - Family Legacy: Nick’s dad started in the mattress business 30 years ago, and now the Hancock name carries weight in the industry. - Imposter Syndrome Breakthrough: For years Nick questioned if he was just riding his dad’s coattails—until he went all-in and owned his role. - Margins & Models: From consumer sales to Airbnbs to hotels, Nick breaks down how the economics of mattresses really work (and why people overpay). - Power of Personal Brand: By showing up authentically on Twitter, Nick’s landed major clients, hotel contracts, and nonstop leads—all without ad spend. - Transparency Wins: Customers choose him not just for price (savings of thousands per order) but because they trust him. - Bigger Vision: The mattress business is just the start—Nick’s building something bigger and using today’s wins to fuel tomorrow’s vision. Final Thoughts:This episode is a reminder that you don’t have to chase the trendy thing—sometimes the gold is hiding in plain sight. If you own your story, build trust, and put yourself out there, you can turn any industry into an opportunity. 👉 Stop playing small, book a call!

    When passion shows up | Friday Rant with Austin Linney | Construct your life #761

    Episode Summary: Welcome back! In today’s Friday Rant, I break down a truth that hit me hard: mediocrity is always around—but it gets exposed the second real passion walks into the room. If you’ve ever found yourself doing “all the right things” but still not getting the results you want, this one’s for you. Maybe the problem isn’t your work ethic. Maybe you’re just chasing the wrong thing. I’m sharing why passion matters, how to recognize when you’re off track, and why it’s totally okay to pivot. Key Highlights: - Passion Exposes Everything: You don’t realize how flat your energy is—until you see someone lit up doing what they actually love. - Stop Climbing the Wrong Mountain: A lot of people are chasing goals that were never really theirs. - You Don’t Need Hype When You’re Aligned: When you’re truly doing what you’re called to do, motivation becomes irrelevant. - It’s Okay to Pivot: Don’t be afraid to shift directions. The right path feels different—and you’ll know when you find it. - The Real Trap: Don’t confuse movement with alignment. Just because you’re busy doesn’t mean you’re building something that matters to you. Final Thoughts: If this hit home, take a second and ask yourself: Am I living from passion, or am I just going through the motions? You owe it to yourself to find out.

    Episode Summary: Welcome back! In this episode, I sit down with Zach Ashburn ,financial advisor, entrepreneur, and self-proclaimed coastal workaholic, to unpack what it really looks like to align your life and business with what matters most.
