#35 Finding Your Purpose and Living an Authentic Life, host William Glass sits down with Austin Walker, co-host of Purpenthicity, a certified life coach, and technology sales executive. We dive not only into Austin’s backstory and where his focus on living a purpose-driven life comes from. But discuss his experience as a Black man navigating corporate America and growing up in a predominately white neighborhood. We discuss where the blend of personal finance, education, and opportunity coincide to incite change.

Austin Walkers’s Bio

Austin Walker is a passionate, enthusiastic, & relentlessly optimistic force. He strives to make a distinct impact on all whom he encounters. Austin is the son of a Super Bowl Champion and a proud alum of the University of Maryland where he played collegiate football. Austin played in 49 of 50 career games as a walk-on who earned a full scholarship for the Terrapins. Austin’s college football experience cemented the grit, work ethic, and raw passion that oozes from his spirit.

By day Austin is a sales leader for Avanade, the world’s leading Microsoft service implementation partner. There he liaises with Fortune 500 businesses to facilitate the utilization of technology as a competitive differentiator to drive sustained growth. While he enjoys working with senior business leaders to support organization growth, his true passions lie in fostering personal growth & development. Austin has a passion for supporting people in finding their purpose to be the best versions of themselves.

For Austin, 2020 and beyond is dedicated towards purpose identification and alignment. His sole focus is to uncover the most important question we all must answer, what am I here on Earth to accomplish?
