From Medical Sales to Million Dollar Side Hustles: How Sales Built the Foundation for Financial Freedom | E26

In this episode, I sit down with Austin Long — a full-time Stryker rep and part-time real estate investor out of rural West Virginia. We talk about how learning sales early became the ultimate meta-skill that set him up to win in both business and investing. Austin shares how living below his means gave him freedom, how he built his first deals while working full-time, and why waiting for the “right time” is just an excuse. If you want something in life, you’ve got to reach out and grab it — Austin’s story proves exactly that.
