Just a couple years ago, Austin was working in a job that he always thought he wanted, but turned out to be all wrong for him. Even though he’d been preparing for this job for years, he trusted his gut and ultimately quit.
Since then, Austin’s life has been like a choose-your-own-adventure novel: he’s lived in a Buddhist monastery, worked as a ranch-hand with cowboys in South Dakota, dug up dinosaur bones in Montana, taken care of stray dogs in Costa Rica, property-sat a retreat center in Wyoming, lived on a farm in Ireland… and that’s just a few of his many adventures!
As you might imagine, he’s learned a ton about himself through all of these experiences, and they’ve helped him redefine what an ideal job means for him.
And if you’re thinking, “Wow, that sounds so cool! But there’s no way I could do that…,” Austin will be the first to tell you that his lifestyle is far more accessible than you ever thought possible.
Listen in as we get into…
- How he knew when it was time to quit his job, and the fears he had to overcome before quitting
- The intense self-discovery he’s gone through as a result of his many adventures
- Specifics about HOW he’s been able to live such an unconventional lifestyle, and his tips for anyone who’s craving an adventure of their own
- Austin’s advice for anyone who’s currently feeling trapped in a toxic, unfulfilling job

MORE ABOUT AUSTIN ROSE
Austin is a twenty-eight-year-old who worked for three years as a police officer before finally being able to accept that it wasn’t the right fit, at which point he took the leap and walked away from the stable career he had spent years preparing for. He resigned in September of 2021, and since then has been using a variety of methods to travel the world, connect with new people, dabble in new work, and adventure. Since quitting, Austin has lived in a Buddhist monastery, worked as a ranch-hand with cowboys in South Dakota, dug up dinosaur bones in Montana, taken care of stray dogs in Costa Rica, property-sat a retreat center in Wyoming, lived on a farm in Ireland, and more. To this day, he continues to explore the world and try on new hats, and he’s here to tell you that you can do it too.
