This is The Do It For Yourself Podcast.  Each week I sit down with someone who is doing it for themselves and chasing a dream they just couldn’t suppress.  This is often speakers, entrepreneurs, or athletes.  They all share one thing in common, they are overcoming challenges and never giving up.  Someone who is Doing It For Themselves is not selfish in their pursuit, they are simply chasing a dream or working towards a goal because it is something THEY want to do.  They are not forging down a path because society or someone is telling them it’s what they should be doing.

This week I am super pumped to bring you my interview with Austen Gravett.  Austen is a fitness entrepreneur from Delaware who owns GravFitt.  GravFitt is a membership-based platform formed to help individuals who are looking to get in shape and lose weight.  

Austen started his fitness journey after getting into a small fight where he was beaten up.  He thought to himself "man if I was just a bit bigger I bet that wouldn't have happened". So he went on a quest to put on some muscle and become a bit bigger.  This is when Austen found his love for fitness.  Austen quickly realized that he wanted to turn this into something more than just a passion, he wanted this to become his job.  This is when he launched his campaign "Gravitate a Million" with a goal to get a million people moving.  

After launching this campaign Austen began to realize that he was lacking some focus and it was also around this time he learned about Ryan Lee and his membership program Freedym, which we talk about a bit on this episode.  Since finding Ryan and joining the group Austen has become laser-focused in what his goal is and he is working much smarter to reach this goal.  

I hope you enjoy this interview with Austen.
