From teen felon to combat Marine to real estate millionaire, Austin Hancock’s story is anything but ordinary.

In this raw and unfiltered episode of the Truth Hurts Show, hosts Brian Goldstein and Makan Mostafavi sit down with Austin to unpack one of the most unbelievable transformation stories we've ever heard.

At 17, Austin faced two felony charges. A year later, he was carrying a belt-fed machine gun in Iraq. By 30, he was building million-dollar homes—only to walk away from it all after losing $65,000 on a single deal and nearly losing himself in the process.

This episode dives deep into:

- Why entrepreneurship was harder than war

- The truth about PTSD—and how many vets are suffering silently

- How Austin’s wife slept alone for months so he could save their family

- The dirty secrets of luxury real estate that no one talks about

- How flipping “sh*tbox” houses brought more peace than building mansions

- Why success without peace is just another prison

- Austin doesn’t hold back—and neither do Brian and Makan.

If you’re an entrepreneur, investor, veteran, or someone fighting your way out of a dark place, this one will hit you right in the gut.
