In this episode of Fraudology, host Karisse Hendrick sits down with Andrew Austin, Senior Manager of Fraud Technology for CarMax, to discuss his journey as a fraud fighter and the importance of having a clear mission and purpose in the industry. From his experience in anti-terrorism in the US Military, transitioning "from boots to suits" working within anti-money laundering and banking, and finally what lead him to pursuing Sr. leadership role focused on fraud strategy in e-commerce/lending.

Andrew shares insights on his "why" throughout the different phases of his career within the last 20 years, and how (and why) his reason & purpose for having a career in anti-crime & threat detection changed over the years with maturity & perspective.

As you listen to what Andrew has discovered about himself and his overall purpose in our industry throughout his career journey, both Karisse & Andrew hope you will be inspired to identify your own personal mission statement for now. -and for the future you.

Because, as Andrew will share, this can become your guiding force in your current role, the positions you hold in the future, and the people you choose to work and align yourself with. As important as it is to learn about new fraud trends & technology, Fraudology was also created to help "fraudologists" gain new perspectives & clarity in all areas. -Including their personal development. 

But first, Karisse asked Andrew to share a story he recently shared with me that is sure to bring smiles to anyone's face. -Especially if you are (or will soon be!) a fraud-fighting parent.
