## Resource

This episode is a special one. I sit down with Austin Swift, one of my closest friends and someone I’ve been connected to for over 30 years. We grew up together, shared childhood experiences that shaped who we are, and have stayed connected as life, careers, and definitions of success have evolved. Our conversation dives into friendship, values, growth, and what success really looks like over time. We talk about how early experiences leave a lasting imprint, why community matters more than ever, and how consistency, discomfort, and chasing meaningful experiences have guided both of our paths. This isn’t about highlight reels. It’s about the long arc—showing up, growing up, and appreciating the people who’ve been there from the beginning. Takeaways: - Childhood friendships and shared experiences shape who we become - Success changes as we grow and our priorities evolve - Consistency, discomfort, and seeking meaningful experiences compound over time - 30+ years of connection is something worth honoring Like.
