Join me, Nik (https://x.com/CoFoundersNik), as I talk with Austin Linney (https://x.com/AustinLinney), an HVAC company owner and the ultimate example of a sweaty startup success story. Austin purchased a struggling $3.8 million HVAC company, moved across the country to rural Pennsylvania, and faced a $250,000 fraud challenge head-on. In just over a year, he scaled the business to an impressive $9 million in revenue. In this episode, we discuss the realities of hands-on business ownership, the importance of understanding every aspect of your company, and how Austin’s relentless approach helped him not just survive, but thrive. Plus, we touch on lessons in leadership, managing acquisitions, and how to transform a business from the ground up.
Questions this Episode Answers:

  • What key steps did Austin take to scale his HVAC business from $3.8M to $9M?
  • How did Austin uncover and deal with the $250,000 fraud in his company?
  • Why is hands-on experience crucial when running a business?
  • What are the biggest misconceptions about passive business ownership?
  • How does leadership style change when managing a team ranging in age from 17 to 70?
