Construct Your Life With Austin Linney

EPISODE SUMMARY: I remember the first time I met Andrew from BCI Computers; his story of starting a landscaping business at 12 floored me. It's these kinds of entrepreneurial sparks that ignite the powerful conversations we have on our show, where we explore the journeys of those who build their dreams with tenacity and vision. In our latest episode, Andrew and I reminisce about our unique starting points, from my unfulfilled wish to be part of a New Jersey Italian family to his ascent as a second-generation entrepreneur. We tackle the essence of success, emphasizing that it's not merely about filling your bank account but about creating a life filled with purpose and connection. In a particularly compelling part of our talk, we navigate the emotional landscape of an entrepreneur who turned down an offer that most would kill for—a $550,000 paycheck and a luxury car—to stay true to his startup dreams. It's a tale of patience, grit, and the kind of unwavering passion that sees you through the toughest of times. We also get revved up about the new season of the podcast, promising a treasure trove of stories from business owners who have navigated the highs and lows to get to where they are now. Andrew's journey is just the beginning, and we're excited to give listeners a peek into the DNA of successful businesses through these shared experiences. Join us for an inspirational ride through the lives of those who choose the path less traveled and find triumph in the face of adversity. About Andrew: Andrew Calore, Vice President of BCI Computers, is an entrepreneur, car enthusiast and firm believer in never giving up.

I'm here to strip away the masks we wear, challenge the limiting beliefs holding us back, and to affirm that your journey, progress, and essence are seen. This heart-to-heart is a tribute to our collective potential and a reminder that you are enough, you are capable, and most importantly, you are not invisible in this world.
