Construct Your Life With Austin Linney

Thank you and taking a pause | Construct your life #800

I’m welcoming you back with a full heart today. After 6.5 years, 1,400+ appearances, and 800 episodes, this podcast became more than content—it became my lifeline, my mirror, and my classroom. I built it in one of the toughest seasons of my life, and along the way, you (and every guest who sat across from me) helped shape me into someone braver, clearer, and kinder.To all the guests I’ve had on, thank you for trusting me, for opening up, for letting the conversations go deeper than the surface, and for reminding me why podcasting matters: because real growth starts when we feel seen, supported, and understood.I’m hitting pause now, not to step away, but to honor the journey we’ve shared—mine and yours. The next chapter is coming, and I’ll carry every lesson, every story, and every voice that joined me along the way. This isn’t an ending. It’s just me taking a breath before the next chapter.This is my invitation to you too: reflect, reset, and walk into the new year upgraded—not dragged forward by old stories. We’re not done. We’re just getting started on the next evolution. I’ll see you soon.👉 Stop playing small, book a call!

Bet on yourself | Friday Rant with Austin Linney | Construct your life #799

It took me years of interviews, rants, and real conversations to finally get this: resilience and growth only kick in when you bet on yourself. The labels don’t matter. The job title doesn’t matter. The strategy doesn’t matter. The decision does—because once I take responsibility, the game actually begins.Key Highlights:- I learned the real lesson after thousands of conversations: bet on myself- It applies to everything I want to change or build- When I choose myself, the buck stops with me- I grow by committing, not by having all the answers- Blame keeps me stuck, ownership moves me forward- Even failure helps me level up if I’m actually learningCore Takeaways:- If I don’t bet on myself, nothing changes- If I bet on myself, I get better—period- Certainty isn’t the unlock, commitment is- The real test is the mirror: knowing I triedI might win, I might fail… but either way, I grow. And honestly? That’s the whole point. If this rant hits you, share it, replay it, or just take it for yourself. I’m rooting for you—but I know the real rocket fuel starts when you root for yourself too.👉 Stop playing small, book a call!

Revisit Austin's Story | Construct your life #798

This episode gets raw. I open up about the parts of my story I’ve avoided saying out loud—how privilege, anger, and trauma shaped me, how addiction escalated, and what it actually took to hit bottom. We talk about the stories we tell ourselves, the price of living as a victim, and the moment everything shifted: ownership. This one is about truth, forgiveness, and finally choosing to build a life on purpose.Key Highlights:- Podcasting as a “time capsule” of who you were and who you’re becoming- The hidden weight of childhood identity, entitlement, and anger- A major trauma that quietly fueled years of self-destruction- Addiction as a cover-up for pain you refuse to sit with- Rock bottom: burned bridges, no safety net, and forced surrender- The “closet season”: rebuilding from nothing with humility and discipline- The real shift: extreme ownership vs. victim stories- Letting go of results and committing to the process- Learning to live for your life—not other people’s opinionsCore Takeaways:- You don’t heal by hiding the story—you heal by telling the truth- Pain becomes poison when you avoid it; it becomes fuel when you face it- The story you repeat isn’t always the real story- Surrender isn’t weakness—it’s the start of freedom- Your next chapter starts when you stop seeking permissionThe message is simple: construct your life based on what’s true for you—not what anyone else expects, not what you’re trying to prove, and not the story you’ve been using to survive. Get married to the process. Get divorced from the results.👉 Stop playing small, book a call!

Revisit my favorite Rant (FUN) | Friday Rant with Austin Linney | Construct your life #797

Today, i'd like t revisit one f my favorite Rants: FUN. This is one is straight from the gut, and now that the year is coming to a close, I think it's important to never forget that word. I’m talking about the one word we stopped protecting in adulthood: Fun. Hustle got me here, but rigidity stole the joy. This episode is a reminder to simplify life, drop the comparison game, and inject energy, laughter, and play back into the way we live, lead, and build.Key Highlights:- Fun is a leadership and life superpower- We’ve over-leveraged everything except joy- Success without laughter is just exhaustion- Kids know the truth- Hustle needs balance or it burns the whole thing down- Loosen up, shake it up, live your life bigger than the metricsHope you got something from this. If you’re feeling stuck, tired, or too rigid, just remember: life is a ride, and the ride is the reward. Keep hustling—but don’t forget to laugh while you do it.👉 Stop playing small, book a call!
