Hi, my name is
Austin Brawner
MY WORK
I believe in the power of adventure to change the world.
Adventure Capitalist Media
For the uncommon man.
Men in our society are starving for adventure.
In too much of the West, we’ve optimized for safety, not excitement. This is wonderful if you’re trying to build a business – but terrible if you’re trying to live a life of exploration and adventure.
We tell stories that inspire you to think, invest, and live differently in a world that is changing fast. Join us -> www.adventurecapitalist.com
Adventure Capitalist Podcast
Co-host
I host the acclaimed Adventure Capitalist Podcast, where Cody Shirk and I tell stories that inspire you to think, invest, and live differently.
Sometimes we bring investors, entrepreneurs, and other adventurers to join us.
New episodes drop every Thursday.
Business Coaching
Founder and CEO
We’re not supposed to be robots. More adventure in life is the whole point.
I help leaders who run 7 to 9-figure organizations build a business that creates more freedom for you to be MORE human and to live a more interesting and adventurous life.
