Austin Greer may only be 20 years old, but there's a reason Dan is calling this college junior a mentor.

In this episode, Austin shares how growing up watching his mother work for First Southern later led him to become a River Foundation Scholar, an investment God has used to open doors for him in ministry and to ultimately teach Austin that he can make money through doing what he loves.
