Short excerpt from a YouTube video by Mark Evans DM featuring a conversation with Austin. Austin recalls a phone call during his senior year with Mark that he says changed his life; the clip emphasizes the power of a single personal connection and gratitude for that call.
It's actually crazy, man. I don't know if you remember or not, but we actually spoke on the phone my senior year.
I remember.
Wow.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
So on IG and I called you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that's what kind of got me in the door, Austin, you know, since that moment, my life's been changed, you know, with my partner here. Obviously. Can't do without him. Yeah. I just wanted to come up and thank you, man, because appreciate that that simple phone call was the moment of my life.
But what you did, though, you made the connection point. I value, Austin. I value you reaching out. You make the connection, dude, you guys gonna do the same as you get bigger. I'm telling you, I do it every day. I'm connecting with people via ig. Me personally. I'm calling people myself. I don't need to call them. I want to call. Dude. The best thing to do is have this conversation right now that happened three years ago. Think about that. You guys are going to have the same impact as you get bigger. Don't ever lose it. I'm telling you. That's the game changer for you. That's why you hear people say, dude, Evans did this.
