Passion-Driven Problem Solving (with Austin Allison)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Own It, we chat with Austin Allison, founder and CEO of Pacaso, a global co-ownership platform for vacation homes. Austin shares his remarkable journey — from buying his first home at 17 to founding the real estate tech startup Dotloop, which he sold to Zillow and, later, launching Pacaso. With a foundation rooted in hard work and resilience, Austin dives into the challenges of entrepreneurship, the power of passion-driven problem solving, and his mission to make vacation home ownership more accessible.
