Welcome to The Elliott Caldwell Podcast on Successful DNA — the show where driven individuals break down the habits, experiences, and mindset behind building something real. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, investor, or someone chasing your next level, this podcast uncovers what it actually takes to turn momentum into long-term success.
Austin Medlin is one of the most respected sales minds in the online coaching space. In this episode, he opens up about the moments that shaped him, including getting arrested as a teenager, losing his girlfriend in a tragic accident at twenty years old, battling addiction, getting divorced, and getting fired from multiple companies before finally betting on himself. Austin shares how those experiences forged unshakable confidence, discipline, and hunger.
We dive deep into what separates people who win from people who stay average. Austin explains why most entrepreneurs blame leads instead of fixing their sales process, how close rate is the single most important lever in any business, and why undercharging is a confidence problem, not a strategy problem. He breaks down how he scaled multiple offers, why he believes sixty percent close rates are achievable, and how he rebuilt his life and business from zero in late 2023.
At the core of this conversation is Austin’s philosophy on hunger, gratitude, and self belief. From choosing growth over self-destruction after tragedy to building a highly profitable sales coaching business with extreme margins, this episode is a raw look at resilience, ownership, and what it actually takes to build momentum when life hits hard.
This is a no fluff conversation about pain, purpose, sales, and the mindset required to live far beyond average.
