Austin has done everything from mow neighbors' lawns, to go on international photo shoots for companies like Apple. Believe it or not, Austin was already on his second business by the time he was 15 years old, and he hasn't slowed down since then. These days, Austin stays busy operating WELD, his growing co-working community that operates in Dallas and Nashville. Listen in as Austin and Tobin talk about how a supportive community can help accelerate growth and catalyze creative action, and more.  “There’s a certain part of us that strikes a deep chord within our being that we should be taking a risk, and we should be creating something, and moving forward on something instead of just routinely repeating the same thing over and over.” -Austin Mann http://austinmann.com/ weld.co https://medium.com/sparks-fly IG @austinmann IG @weld
