Felon to Fortune: How Austin Hancock Flipped His Life & Built Real Estate Empire | Mike Drop Ep. 207

Austin Hancock is a former United States Marine who served in the Iraq War, deploying to Iraq and North Africa after 2005. After serving he started a family, pivoting into the real estate investing business with a startup firm that would go on to host a multi-million dollar portfolio. Since then, he's stepped into coaching, speaking around the country to inspire others to seize the day and work towards achieving their own far-reaching goals.

But there's more to Austin's successful lifestyle than meets the eye - two felonies at seventeen, multiple V.I.P. operations in Iraq, and chasing the American dream by hard-launching your own business isn't for the faint of heart. So how'd Austin end up getting into the Marine Corps with a pending trial, anyway? What's the secret to finding your own success as a struggling veteran newly home from deployment, and then guiding others to find the same? And when it comes down to it, is Austin Hancock really a bad guy, or is he a good guy who's just made stupid mistakes? Let's meet Austin.
