The Price of Building an Extraordinary Life | Austin Zaback E345

Most people talk about wanting an extraordinary life. However, very few are willing to live extraordinarily different to earn it. That gap is what this episode is about.

Austin Zaback built what most people chase for decades before the age of 30. Over $3 billion in real estate sold. Twelve companies founded. Hundreds of employees. A national real estate team spanning multiple states. None of it came from luck. It came from obsession.

In this conversation, we unpack what it actually means to be obsessed in your 20s and why that season of life is the greatest window most people waste. Austin shares the sacrifices, intensity, and relentless standards that allowed him to build trust, authority, and momentum while most people his age were still figuring things out.

We talk about how he earned credibility as “the young guy” in rooms full of older, more experienced players, why mastery and work ethic still beat shortcuts, and how becoming impossible to ignore in your market changes everything. Austin breaks down why obsession is not about burnout or hype, but about commitment, clarity, and eliminating distractions long enough to build something real.

This episode also challenges the idea of balance. We explore the difference between grinding aimlessly and building with intention, how Austin thinks about family, business, and long-term fulfillment, and why efficiency in your 30s is earned through intensity in your 20s.

If you are early in your journey, this episode shows you the standard required to separate from the pack. If you are further along, it will force you to ask whether you are still playing at the level your goals demand. This is not motivation. It is a reality check. We hope you enjoy it!
