Скачать или смотреть #16: Austin McAlpine - From Saving Lives to Saving Loans

Austin didn't take the traditional path into mortgage broking.

He went from being a beach lifeguard on the Central Coast to building in a broker business. No banking background, no credit team experience, just a willingness to learn and a belief that he could figure it out.

In this conversation, we dig into Austin's journey: why university felt like the wrong fit, how he stumbled into finance through a CSM role, and what it's really like to start from scratch in an industry where most people assume you need years of lending experience.

Austin gets honest about the challenges of building knowledge while building a business, the power of word of mouth over social media, and why the Central Coast's affordability boom is creating opportunities for brokers who understand the market.
