Today's guest is a former co-worker of mine who, although we only worked together for less than a year, made a huge impact on me in a very positive way.

Dan Austin has been a corporate executive for 25 years for Fortune 100 and entrepreneurial ventures. He currently lives in Florida where he coaches team members to Connect, Contribute, and Continue (among many other life lessons).

In this episode Dan and I explore the deep shift from external validation to authentic service. We reflect on personal growth, unconscious leadership, competing desires, emotional healing, and the power of real connection in business and life.

From neuro-linguistic programming to spiritual practice, this conversation offers practical insights on influence, purpose, and how to lead with presence.
