Austin Lee is a surfer.

He’s also a damn good copywriter.

And today, you’re going to discover how he went from broke and depressed and stranded in Europe to on-track for 6-figures as a freelance copywriter.

If you’re looking for inspiration, or if you enjoy a “zero to hero” story, you’re gonna love today’s episode.

Thanks to copywriting, Austin was able to move to his dream city – San Diego – and can now surf whenever he pleases.

He also likes to take random snowboarding trips and loves that he doesn’t have to ask a boss “please can I have a few days off”.

Such is the tough life of the freelance copywriter.
