## Resource

In this episode of Austin Tech Connect, ATC's Thom Singer sits down with Brandon Tigges, co-founder and CEO of Austin based Job Machine. Brandon grew up a military kid, was homeschooled, moved eight times before age 18, and learned early how to adapt, learn fast, and build relationships. That path took him from finance to tech sales, then into entrepreneurship, fueled by mentors, books, and an obsession with solving real problems. Brandon shares how Job Machine helps workforce organizations, schools, and outplacement providers place people into jobs faster, and why their big, hairy, audacious goal is simple, any American who wants a job should be able to get one. Along the way, he talks about work ethic, paying it forward, and what Austin needs to keep doing right if we want the tech ecosystem to stay strong. Austin Tech Connect is sponsored by Calavista Software
