0:46

Austin , thank you so much for being on

0:51

been a long time coming , but we're doing

0:54

it and so , yeah

0:56

, thanks for being on course . Well

0:58

, without further ado , let's just jump

1:00

into who you are , how

1:02

you grew up and why you wanted

1:05

to go on a mission in the first place . Perfect

1:07

.

1:08

Yeah , so I was born in Sandy

1:11

Murray area and so my parents

1:13

live there for about three years and I

1:16

just remember from like really young , like reading

1:18

the Book of Mormon , or at least listening to the Book

1:20

of Mormon , like the old , like children's

1:22

Book of Mormon stories yeah , those were so

1:25

sick , yeah , and they've updated

1:27

them now , so like the Illustrations

1:30

are a lot more interesting . Nice , kind

1:33

of cool to see that progress .

1:35

The war chapters are pretty dope . Oh yeah

1:37

, I bet the swords .

1:38

Yeah , all the helmets . Yeah

1:40

, no gore , no , I've got to keep

1:43

it clean . Yeah you know we were trying to fill

1:45

spirit . When you're

1:47

with your kids exactly Got

1:49

to be clean , yeah . But I'd listen to these

1:51

stories of the Book of Mormon and hear about

1:54

like the epic adventures of like

1:56

Tiancom or like Ammon

1:58

or Nephi , and like I really looked up to

2:00

those guys's as role models

2:02

Moroni , even to

2:05

specifically captain Moroni , and

2:07

so , yeah , I grew up in Utah

2:10

and then my parents moved to Missouri where

2:12

my dad went to chiropractic school

2:14

and Then we moved to Tennessee

2:16

. So I got kind of like eight

2:18

to ten years inside Utah , got that

2:20

experience and then eight to ten years outside

2:23

of Utah which was kind of cool too . I

2:26

remember being on the school bus and

2:28

one of my friends being like dude , like that's a super

2:30

cool ring , like what does that mean ? Like Christ

2:33

the Rock , I was like Frick

2:36

, yeah , rock dude

2:38

, little CTR ring , and so

2:40

I , you know , growing up in Utah

2:42

but also like in the Bible Belt in the

2:44

south , was kind of fun to yeah

2:46

, at Midwest there's a lot of really good Christians

2:49

and people who love Christ and

2:51

want to follow him . So I had

2:53

the ability to be around people in my same

2:55

faith , but then also people who

2:57

weren't of the exact same faith , that are dominant

3:00

Denomination at least , and going out to

3:02

share so my beliefs . So

3:04

kind of got to be a little missionary

3:06

. Yeah from a young age which is cool , that

3:08

is sick .

3:09

Any experiences that stick

3:12

out to you the most

3:14

, that kind of Formed you

3:16

and made you appreciate living in a place

3:18

that didn't have a ton of LDS kids .

3:20

I think two things were interesting . One

3:22

was my parents taught me and this was more of

3:24

just my our household was Trying

3:27

to keep the Sabbath day holy , and that's

3:29

kind of evolved as I've gotten older and had a more perspective

3:31

. But one thing for my parents was

3:34

like we don't go outside and play with friends

3:36

. Yeah we , we still go

3:38

and like hang out with people or you like write

3:40

cards or give out treats or visit family

3:42

, but it wasn't like we're getting all sweaty

3:44

running around playing basketball or anything , yeah . So

3:47

I remember one day One

3:49

of my buddies came over and he's like , hey , dude , like we're getting

3:51

all the guys together , let's go play ball . And I was like , yeah

3:53

, that'd be sick . So I like , hey , mom , I want to be right

3:56

back , I'm gonna call it play basketball . And

3:58

she was like , hey , like remember what day it is

4:00

? Oh , it's Sunday

4:02

, dang it . It's like , hey

4:04

, dude , I don't play basketball on Sundays

4:07

, but you guys have fun . So I was kind of

4:09

an interesting way and and who's to say that

4:11

basketball is good or bad on Sunday ? But I

4:13

was just a way to remember hey , like this

4:15

is the Lord's Day . How can

4:17

I make it specific for him ? Yeah , maybe

4:19

in some instances that would be appropriate , but

4:21

that was a small thing . People

4:24

asking me like , hey , why don't you drink coke ? Yeah

4:26

, Well . I could drink

4:28

coke but I'm like really young so I'm probably

4:30

not gonna be drinking caffeine or anything right

4:32

now . But trying to explain , like the word

4:34

of wisdom , to other people who really

4:37

love their coffee or , you know , love drinking

4:39

it like family or the coldest

4:41

act , parties and stuff .

4:43

So you got to go to these conversations way

4:45

before the mission , which is yeah yeah

4:47

, cuz a lot of us Utah missionaries

4:50

Just like just give up

4:52

coffee . Yeah , what's the big deal

4:54

.

4:54

So at least I got a little bit the Outside

4:57

of Utah experience where I knew where these people

4:59

were coming from . I knew that there was a lot of good Christian

5:01

people that wanted to follow Christ , that had

5:03

different perspectives , different Places

5:05

where they grew up , and so even on

5:07

my mission , even though I left from

5:09

Utah for my mission , I would tell people that I was , you

5:12

know , from Tennessee , because I lived outside

5:14

of Utah for so long . I wanted to

5:16

give them a different perspective than just , oh

5:19

, here's some white , you know

5:21

elder from Utah that doesn't know anything

5:23

. Hopefully to say like , hey , like I , I

5:27

may understand more of what you're going through because

5:29

I didn't just come out of

5:31

some factory in Provo . Yeah , exactly

5:33

.

5:33

That's great . Yeah , so you

5:36

put in your papers what year .

5:39

But my papers . I think it was 2017

5:41

in a 2017 .

5:43

Okay birthdays in January and then oh yeah , that's

5:45

when I met you , yeah 2017

5:48

.

5:48

Yeah , we met . My parents were in a In

5:50

a business together , we're in business together

5:53

and I met towel , like

5:55

right before my mission , and you just got

5:57

back from Scotland , ireland , yeah , that's

5:59

so sick foreign . You know

6:02

mission , you spoke

6:04

.

6:05

I spoke . English .

6:06

Yeah , but the accents were crazy . Accents

6:08

were crazy .

6:09

Yeah , picked up a couple phrases in

6:11

Portuguese and Chinese .

6:13

Oh , I bet , but yeah , I heard Dublin's

6:15

like I had a friend who served the same mission and Dublin

6:18

was like a melting pot so

6:20

many different people .

6:21

Yeah , tons of Brazilians , mm-hmm

6:23

, like loads , almost

6:27

more than there are Irish people . Just

6:29

crazy . Yeah , it's crazy of

6:32

all places . So you got your

6:34

call and where were

6:36

you called ?

6:37

So I got my call . It was called to the Nebraska

6:39

Omaha mission . We called it numb , so

6:42

back in numb Kind

6:45

of a funny phrase that we had . If

6:47

you're from the non mission , you know yeah . And

6:50

I was disappointed . I knew I wasn't gonna go internationally

6:54

Because of how I filled out my papers

6:56

. I knew there was a couple things that would bar

6:59

me from international service , just

7:01

some personal health choices that chose

7:03

to make . But I was excited

7:05

to serve in the United States . I thought Tennessee

7:07

be kind of cool . To go back to the Bible belt , yeah

7:10

, east Coast would be interesting . I've never , you know

7:12

, had never lived out there at that point . Or maybe West

7:14

Coast would be cool too . And it was

7:16

Nebraska , smack dab in the middle

7:18

of the United States . And I was low key , a little

7:20

disappointed . You know , I wasn't maybe as hyped

7:22

as someone else being called

7:25

to say somewhere they wanted to be Mm-hmm

7:27

. But very quickly I felt

7:29

that it was where I needed to go and

7:31

I felt Excited about it . I knew

7:33

that there was gonna be people or experiences

7:36

I was gonna have there . That would be Worth

7:38

it . Yeah , maybe serving somewhere that

7:40

wasn't as exciting and ended

7:42

up being exactly that .

7:44

That's awesome , dang . Yeah

7:46

, tell me a little bit about that mission , any

7:51

transformative moment that

7:53

you might have had While

7:55

while on the mission , whether that was like somebody

7:58

in the street that said something to you , a convert

8:00

, your mission president , whatever

8:03

it was , mm-hmm , tell me about that

8:05

.

8:06

Yeah . So for the mission I reported

8:08

to the MTC this was way before COVID

8:10

and so I got to have those three weeks of experience

8:13

. I was really obsessed

8:15

with Iceland still am , yeah , and

8:17

they were flying the Iceland flag at the MTC

8:19

, which means that there's someone serving

8:22

in that mission who's gonna go to that mission , yeah

8:24

. So I tracked down the elder . He was there for nine

8:26

weeks learning Icelandic , oh my

8:28

god . So I followed his mission , which was really cool . It

8:30

was fun to be in that , experiencing all these missionaries

8:33

, dedicated , excited

8:35

to serve , learning different languages

8:37

. And so I Went

8:39

out with about three or four other

8:41

elders and a couple sisters . So

8:43

we got to Nebraska , got to meet our

8:45

mission president , which we had for one transfer

8:48

. Then they switched mission presidents , so

8:50

that was kind of interesting and Then

8:53

started serving in kind of a more

8:55

boony area out in the sticks and

8:58

also got the city experience too . But

9:01

from all those areas I served in and from

9:03

all the people , the companions that I had

9:05

, I think the biggest thing that

9:07

I learned was compassion and empathy

9:09

For people . I learned that

9:11

people are more important than things

9:13

, than schedules , than

9:16

analytics , than numbers . I

9:18

was very much the kind of person who was

9:20

strict with the schedule . I loved waking

9:23

up at like 5 am 6 am

9:25

. I love going to bed at a good time . I loved having

9:27

a schedule .

9:28

I am for me .

9:29

No before the mission . So sleeping

9:31

into 6 30 was like there

9:33

was a vacation for me almost .

9:35

Dang , I kept myself very strict

9:38

. Maybe I was one of the elders a morning

9:40

person oh yeah , I'm a person . Yeah

9:42

, I . I wake up at night .

9:44

Yeah , and so yeah I

9:47

don't know , kind of weird like that . So that

9:50

aspect was not hard for me . I found a

9:52

lot of joy in that . I fell a lot of peace . But

9:54

I had companions who live

9:57

differently , probably someone like you . They

9:59

Didn't like waking up early

10:01

. I love staying up late , um . Or

10:04

for other people that maybe struggle with schedules

10:06

or following very strict rules I mean , being

10:09

religious is more of a strict lifestyle in general

10:11

, yeah , and then you add on top of it missionary

10:14

service . We're representing an organization

10:16

, a church , and that was

10:18

tough for a lot of my companions . There was things

10:20

that was difficult for me too , but I had

10:23

to learn that I'm not here

10:26

to be a perfect person

10:28

. I'm not here to Flex

10:32

on numbers or on people

10:34

that I helped . It was more of how

10:36

can I become a friend to those

10:38

that I'm serving ? How can I be

10:41

a support , a good

10:43

companion to those that I was working with , and

10:45

Some of the hardest companions

10:47

have ended up becoming some of my best friends

10:49

because of those experiences . We went together and

10:52

realizing that when I let go of

10:54

what I wanted , what elder

10:56

Brady wanted , and realized , okay , what

10:58

is God , what ? How can I help people

11:00

, then that's helped a lot that's helped

11:03

in my life now realizing

11:05

, when I did summer sales , when I'm

11:07

doing Content online

11:09

, rather than thinking how can I make

11:11

myself look cool or how can I get

11:13

big numbers , analytics , how

11:16

can I focus on connecting with someone , finding

11:19

and value that they need , giving them that value

11:22

. I've seen immense success , so that

11:24

was kind of a cool way to Learn

11:26

a good life principle , but then also a

11:29

business , a social friendship principle

11:31

too . Totally .

11:32

It's just like that Thomas

11:34

S Monson quote where he says

11:36

never let a problem to be solved

11:38

become more important than a person to be served

11:40

. You always

11:43

have the best quotes some

11:45

do all up . I just remember the

11:47

good ones , and , and President

11:49

Monson had a lot of them , he did

11:51

, but it's so true , as

11:53

soon as you let red

11:56

tape , regimen

11:59

or Structure

12:01

become more important than somebody's

12:04

need , then Then

12:07

what's the point ? Yeah , what's the

12:09

point of serving a mission

12:11

if you're not serving the people in that

12:13

mission ? Yeah , and that includes the investigators

12:16

, the companions , the church

12:18

members , all of them . And

12:20

so , yeah , that

12:23

is probably one of the best lessons you could

12:25

have learned while on the mission . Yeah

12:27

, that is awesome . Is there a specific instance

12:29

that might have ? Like

12:34

, would , would drive that point home

12:36

? Kind of like , maybe

12:38

you were one way , you were a Little

12:41

too strict , and then you

12:43

had a moment where you're like , dang , I

12:46

need to forget this rule and help

12:48

this person out .

12:50

There were so many experiences . It

12:53

was fun because I think the Lord

12:55

was really trying to humble me . I

12:57

Went on my mission and

13:00

I had the opportunity to be trained by an amazing

13:02

elder , elder deroture . He was the

13:04

best trainer you could imagine then

13:07

had the opportunity to help train

13:09

Right

13:11

after , right after , twice , right after

13:13

which was crazy . I didn't feel very adequate

13:15

for that and we

13:17

had immense success . My first training . I had

13:19

immense success . I was feeling really good . I was

13:21

like , okay , I got that . I got this missionary thing like on

13:24

lockdown . Yeah , we're just gonna cruise

13:26

, we got this . Second

13:28

trainee was way more difficult . We

13:30

saw way less success . It was a new area and

13:34

I was really focusing on like numbers

13:36

and how can we be strict

13:38

on our schedule . And Then

13:40

after that I had six months , so two

13:42

companions back to back . They were

13:44

in very similar circumstances . They were

13:46

both three months away from going home and

13:48

I had them for two months each Dang

13:50

. They both were really obsessed with sisters

13:53

in the mission . Oh , dang , they loved

13:55

those mission . I know

13:57

from ants . I know they

14:00

loved , you know , casually shopping . They

14:02

loved Maybe being a little

14:05

more lax with the rules . They really enjoyed

14:07

Just doing things

14:09

that weren't like super strict . Some

14:12

of that was maybe more disobedient . A lot of it

14:14

wasn't , was just more of a laxadaisical

14:16

style , and I'm very much like

14:18

scheduled to the tea , like every 15 to

14:20

30 minutes Maybe not 15 , but 30 minutes

14:22

was like scheduled like K yeah , comp

14:25

study , personal study , proselyting

14:27

, knocking doors , lessons , member

14:29

dinner , keeping member dinner short , like all

14:32

this stuff , because that's how I felt

14:34

like I was being productive , it's how I feel like I was

14:36

being obedient . And there

14:39

was one time where my

14:41

companion he was like , hey , I

14:44

know you want to go knock doors because

14:46

that's what we should be doing according

14:48

to scheduling , but

14:50

we have a new member

14:52

and they

14:55

were married to a member

14:57

who's becoming more active hmm

14:59

, so a part-member family , had he just

15:01

gotten baptized and they

15:04

want to watch the passion of Christ With

15:07

us . I was like we're hanging

15:09

out with members , we're watching a

15:11

rated R movie , but

15:13

we're just sitting around like sacks . That was

15:15

a big thing of my mission was being a sack .

15:17

It was just sitting around like what a sacks

15:20

, do they just sit ?

15:21

so yeah , people sacks and

15:24

I was like what are we doing

15:26

? Like that's not what we're supposed to be doing right

15:28

now . Yeah , and we went . We ended

15:30

up caving . I'd have choose , picked my battles

15:32

. I guess we went over there Watch

15:35

passion the Christ . Highly recommend that movie

15:37

. Really good , definitely violent .

15:39

I've only seen the crucifixion

15:41

.

15:42

Yeah , brutal , brutal holy

15:45

cat , and that's just the crucifixion . Imagine what

15:47

Christ experienced .

15:48

Yeah , with the atonement seriously , yeah , and

15:51

I saw a little evil baby

15:53

Satan .

15:54

Yes .

15:54

That was weird .

15:55

Yeah , satan in that movie is a little off

15:57

. I don't , I don't like that .

15:59

They could cut him out and the rest would be pretty good .

16:01

But , yeah , so we're watching this movie really

16:04

good . Um , I wouldn't

16:06

say it was spiritual , but I felt . I Felt

16:09

very emotional . It was a very interesting

16:11

experience to see what that was like

16:13

. But then also be there

16:15

for these members like why would

16:17

we go knock and potentially

16:20

get rejected all evening , whereas

16:22

and we could work and love

16:25

and support this new couple who

16:27

had one of their , you know , one of them had just gone

16:29

baptized . The other spouse was getting

16:32

reactivated . Show them we care about

16:34

them , help integrate them with the ward

16:36

and not be so

16:38

stickler about those things . So

16:41

, who knows , maybe if my mission president watches this , he's

16:43

like everybody . That was not what you're supposed to do , I mean

16:45

. But in the moment and afterwards I feel like you

16:47

know what that was a really pivotal moment , probably because it was

16:50

just so shocking of what a contrast

16:52

. Yeah , I realized that those people

16:54

and my companion were more important

16:56

to love , to serve , to be empathetic

16:59

Towards , to be more relaxed

17:01

. Then try to just follow a schedule

17:03

and just cut things off . Yeah , because

17:06

in certain moments you need to just follow what

17:09

the spirit directs or what you just feel

17:11

may be the more humane and

17:13

Interpersonal

17:15

. Then just . Finding

17:17

a schedule and be like hey schedule

17:20

says this , just go do that . Mm-hmm .

17:22

It's so true I this

17:25

is actually a really interesting theme that's

17:27

been brought up in this podcast several

17:30

times now . Because I was very much

17:32

like a Stickler

17:35

, I guess I wouldn't say that

17:37

, but yeah , I

17:39

stuck to the schedule as a hard worker

17:41

. If

17:43

my companion that was a sack . We

17:46

call them wasters waiters every

17:49

mission is probably got their own .

17:50

Yeah .

17:52

If you wanted to do something like

17:55

lazy , then

17:57

I would kind of like fight back . But

18:01

it is such a Interesting

18:04

topic because we all know obedience

18:06

is good Of course , actually does get a bad

18:08

rap a lot of times . But

18:10

there are

18:12

times when you , the

18:15

rules , aren't the

18:17

right answer and

18:20

you need to be obedient

18:23

enough , close to the spirit enough

18:25

to know when , to know when . The

18:28

rules don't give you the answer to everything

18:30

. Yeah , and so going

18:32

over spending time with new

18:35

member Coming back

18:37

to church , a spouse and

18:39

your companion that might be just

18:41

needing it is the right

18:44

thing to do and I

18:46

think I would add like of course was a rated

18:48

our movie , but it was a literally

18:50

about Christ .

18:51

Yeah , it's about and so that's probably a way

18:53

better thing than maybe watching some

18:55

other rated our film or other

18:57

film , no matter what the rating , because

19:00

you know and this is something

19:02

that we talked about a lot is like the letter of the law , the

19:04

spirit of law , I think almost just understanding

19:06

like be intentional , right

19:08

, if your time is just to knock

19:10

doors and knock doors , that's not intentional . Yeah

19:13

if you're gonna go be with a member and

19:15

help bring the spirit , hopefully help

19:18

one of their friends , help teach the

19:20

gospel like bringing , like

19:22

. Our purpose is to bring people , invite people

19:24

to come Into Christ mm-hmm so

19:26

if we can invite someone to come into Christ by

19:29

helping them have a transformative experience

19:31

watching a film , great yeah

19:33

, huge .

19:34

Your mission is coming to an end , correct

19:36

? You're getting ready to go home . Tell

19:39

us about what you were expecting

19:41

and what ended up happening .

19:43

Yeah , I think this is gonna

19:46

be true for every missionary Expectations

19:48

will always be completely different than reality . For

19:51

me , again , god has great humor

19:53

. It couldn't be further from my expectations

19:56

. So I left in May

19:58

of 2018 and it was interesting

20:00

because the plaque that they made for me said

20:03

I was coming home in April of

20:05

2020 . Mmm and

20:07

my parents were like that's weird , cuz , that's not two years

20:09

. Well , when did I come home ? April

20:12

of 2020 . So I had to come home six

20:14

weeks early because that was when the world

20:16

was shutting down and the church was

20:18

saying hey , anyone who's over I think it's like 21

20:21

or 23 months or whatever it needs to be

20:23

sent home so we can make room for

20:25

this influx of Missionaries

20:28

who are from the United States , that we're serving foreign

20:30

missions yeah , so

20:33

in our mission we have a tradition of sharing

20:35

your , like , final testimony . Everyone

20:38

going to home that chance forgot to go up in zone conference

20:40

share their testimony . Well , there was no zone

20:42

conference , no testimony

20:44

. Yeah , supposed to have an exit interview

20:46

where you talk with your mission president , talk

20:49

about girls , talk about college , like all the

20:51

fun things coming up . Yeah , no interview

20:53

, dang we literally were you bummed ? Oh

20:56

, I was super bummed . I was tight with my mission

20:58

president . I loved him , respected him a lot and

21:01

, yeah , presidents was awesome . So

21:04

they get that . We're just sitting around . We can't do

21:06

any of the normal activities like go to the temple

21:08

, go to the Trail Center we had a

21:10

visitor center and our mission next

21:12

to the temple . We couldn't really play

21:14

games or hang out . There really wasn't anything

21:16

else to do besides watch like

21:18

church movies . I guess the district

21:21

Testament district estimates

21:23

Fighting preacher you know

21:25

that kind of stuff . Great

21:28

films . So I was like

21:30

man , this is interesting . And then they put

21:32

us up in a hotel before we went because we had to

21:34

kind of be separated quarantine from everybody

21:36

. So we're sitting in the hotel

21:39

room and Our

21:41

mission present gave us permission to watch a movie

21:43

. Because he's like there's nothing else to do , yeah , watch Blindside

21:46

. It's like man I'm another great film so disobedient

21:49

watching a non-church movie . But even

21:51

though president told you yeah he said

21:53

we could , and it's Blindside like yeah it's a great

21:55

film , yeah . So I'm like , man , this

21:57

whole thing is not what I expected . And

22:00

then come to find out that you couldn't

22:02

have anyone At the airport

22:04

besides your parents no siblings , no

22:06

friends . My former mission president

22:09

Normally visits his

22:11

misshers when they come home . Could he could come

22:13

and I literally felt

22:15

like it was straight out of the RM , because

22:17

I roll up . Everyone else's families

22:19

are there , and my parents were chronically

22:22

late to everything they're like

22:24

we tried to get there on

22:26

time , but we're 30 minutes late and

22:28

your like plane was 15 minutes early , so I'm

22:30

sitting on my luggage for like you

22:32

walk out like this yeah . So

22:36

I'm sitting there seeing everyone else get their hugs and

22:38

I'm just like cool , well , welcome

22:41

to welcome to life at home . So

22:43

they picked me up , drive me the two hours

22:45

back to where we lived in Cache Valley , finally

22:48

get to see my siblings . They had signs made for me

22:50

but they weren't there . So I'm like looking

22:52

at the signs in the van like cool guys , thank

22:54

you Could be with my mission

22:57

or my stake president . So

22:59

he released me over the phone , that's

23:01

we didn't get a talk in church as a like a homecoming

23:03

talk . Didn't see it , my friends , because

23:06

there I was , like one of the oldest of my friends they're

23:08

all missions or just

23:10

quarantined somewhere else . Yeah , it's

23:12

like man , I didn't serve a mission for

23:14

this , but it's kind of a cherry

23:16

on top to be like congrats , yeah

23:19

, it gives you closure , yeah

23:21

, closure especially . Yeah , and no

23:23

missionary special , don't expect everybody

23:25

like cheer you on when you get home . You're one of thousands

23:28

of missionaries , but

23:30

it's nice to feel a little appreciated

23:32

it feels nice to feel like the hero , exactly

23:35

. Yeah , yeah , because we treat missionaries

23:37

like heroes when they leave . You want to feel that

23:39

way and you come home and it is tough . Two years

23:41

is tough , year and a half is tough , or

23:44

however long you serve . So that was a big

23:46

, big change . And

23:48

then after that it was like well , churches

23:51

masked up Quarantined

23:53

people are using Sanitas , you know , like crazy

23:56

sanitization , and so it was

23:58

very odd Coming home to

24:00

like a completely different world

24:02

where church is different . I

24:05

was planning on moving out like immediately . I didn't

24:07

know if I was gonna go to college or just do work

24:09

. But I was like , man , I don't , things are kind of on

24:12

unstable footing , so move

24:14

back home , I

24:17

Move back home , basically . And

24:19

I didn't know what was really gonna happen

24:21

. So I was feeling like dang , I wanted to come home , hit

24:24

up college or hit up work , move out , get

24:26

roommates start dating . You know stuff

24:28

like that . Yeah and there

24:30

really wasn't places to go meet girls

24:32

, to go hang out with friends

24:34

, so fuck it very lonely , I feel

24:36

like that .

24:37

That would be so lonely and church . Was

24:41

your ward meeting or were they

24:43

quarantining ?

24:44

there . It depended on the week I had

24:46

my homeward . I didn't even think I went to my homeward

24:49

when I got back because they Either

24:51

they weren't meeting , but I think some more I say

24:53

awards were meeting . So I went

24:55

to my local steak YSA

24:57

and then I also went to a college

24:59

YSA up at USU . Oh nice

25:01

, with some friends , switch off . Yeah , we'd have

25:04

come follow me sessions afterwards as things started

25:06

easing up , which was good , that's good . So

25:08

Dang .

25:09

Yeah , dude , that's nuts . Yeah

25:12

, I always felt bad for the

25:14

missionaries coming home around that time . We're

25:16

having to get sent home around that

25:18

time just cuz I'm like it's

25:20

not what everybody's dreaming

25:23

of . No , Because

25:25

people dream when they're coming

25:27

home . That's part of the big truckiness .

25:29

It is Either you're thinking about how cool that

25:31

will be or you're trying not to think about it , but

25:33

it's like kind of a reward

25:35

for the end of staying strong

25:37

hopefully Totally .

25:39

Yeah , here's

25:41

my question . You're married now

25:43

.

25:44

I am . How did that happen ? I

25:46

don't even know . Dude .

25:48

And she seems so cool .

25:50

She is awesome . Yeah , so

25:53

Lizzie and I actually we serve in the same mission . That's

25:55

how it happened . Kissing

25:58

on penis . Mission

26:00

romance baby the interesting thing about that

26:03

and I think the God like directed

26:05

that or at least helped with that in some

26:07

way , because I'm someone

26:09

who kept my heart locked by my eyes

26:11

open . Of course I was talking to sisters

26:14

, maybe soft learning with sisters

26:16

, that type of thing , making friends , getting emails

26:18

but I was trying to stay focused

26:20

and so there was nothing

26:22

. I was never in a situation where

26:25

I was like distracted by

26:27

sisters , which is I'm grateful for that

26:29

. Although , meeting

26:32

Lizzie on the mission , because I served with

26:34

her and around her and

26:36

she was dating somebody at the time , writing

26:39

them , and because

26:41

of my attitude like we never really talked

26:43

a ton , there was never any like conversation

26:46

or like strong friendship , and

26:49

so I was just my goofy self , just goofy

26:51

all the way , doing my thing , sharing my

26:53

political beliefs , my religious beliefs my

26:55

health beliefs , my educational beliefs

26:57

. If there's something

26:59

mainstream , I probably disagree

27:01

with it . I'm probably the opposite

27:04

of that . So she got to see how crazy

27:06

I was and she still

27:08

liked it . And the cool thing is she served

27:10

in the same area , started her mission

27:13

the same area . I started my mission Dang

27:15

, that's sick and we had a lot of success and love

27:17

the members and had a lot of great opportunities

27:19

there , and so everyone was just

27:22

talking about man you know , we haven't

27:24

had sisters in 20 years . It was all elders

27:26

and some of them were good , some of them weren't , but

27:28

elder Brady , man , we just loved elder Brady

27:30

. That's so sad . Members were hyping me up so

27:33

she was like who's this ? Elder Brady Didn't

27:35

even realize it was her zone leader at the time

27:37

. And then we , we

27:39

finally met , but we served around each other . I think

27:41

I was in the same zone as her for

27:43

five transfers , her first five transfers

27:46

. So she talked

27:49

to her one of her , uh , she

27:51

talked to her companion and she was like man

27:53

, I just I see you and elder Brady together . I don't know

27:56

what it is . You've reminded me of each other . She

27:58

finally got courage up to hand me

28:00

a sticky note and then she

28:02

chickened out and right and

28:04

I was . I was moved . I was being transferred

28:06

up to Minnesota from Lincoln , nebraska

28:09

, which is forever away . And

28:11

so her campaign is like no , you have to do this . She

28:13

grabs the sticky note . She's like elder

28:15

Brady , come back , we have a referral

28:18

for you . I was like , oh

28:20

sick , we're going to go baptize this family , or

28:22

like sort of them somehow . And I get the sticky

28:24

note and they like squeal out of there . It's

28:26

like like drive their car out . I

28:28

opened up a sticky note . It was

28:31

like Eloymissureyorg . It's like

28:33

a I just got a , it's

28:35

got a referral boys . So

28:37

when I went home I emailed

28:39

her and so there was no romantic

28:42

or flirting or interest on

28:44

the mission . I'm so grateful for that

28:46

Cause I probably would have beat myself up or

28:48

, being the really strict and

28:51

sometimes a very suitable

28:53

missionary that I was , so we'd call

28:55

it , yeah . And so

28:57

we wrote for eight or nine months and she

28:59

got home and we started dating

29:02

. So she stayed out there when COVID

29:04

hit . She did nine months , bro .

29:05

That was rough Half her

29:08

mission , did she get back home and you guys started dating

29:10

, right ?

29:11

away . That wasn't the plan I

29:13

wanted to . Just I was like when you get home

29:15

, like we're just friends . She was like was

29:17

kind of flirting an email but

29:19

I was like no , like we're just friends , like we need

29:21

to actually see who each other

29:23

are as people , not

29:26

just missionaries , cause your personality

29:28

kind of changes a little bit on the mission versus off

29:30

the mission . So but

29:32

I went to her homecoming . Her mom

29:34

and sister were like obsessed with me . They

29:36

were like follow me on socials , inviting me down

29:39

to stuff . So I like I already

29:41

, met like two or three of her sisters and

29:43

her mom , like right off the bat . Yeah

29:45

, just kind of weird that's so funny

29:48

yeah .

29:50

Well , your views . I'm

29:52

going to hear what your thoughts are on

29:54

those mission romances

29:57

and stuff , because they're

29:59

very discouraged . They

30:01

are now and then they

30:04

work out . Well , not that you guys

30:06

had a romance on the mission but I

30:08

want to have missionaries meet up afterwards

30:10

.

30:10

Yeah , I don't know our . So

30:13

the I was just at a mission reunion

30:15

, my original mission president , chad Gardner

30:17

he had . It was

30:19

like between I don't want to get it wrong it was like 40

30:22

to 60 couples over

30:25

the three years that he served and

30:27

I know at least 20 from my

30:29

friends . Oh my gosh . The Nebraska

30:31

what mission is a breeding ?

30:33

ground for a record . I've never

30:35

heard of that .

30:36

It was . Everyone was getting married to that Holy

30:38

crap . And some were definitely on

30:40

mission friendships

30:43

and flirting and conversations and

30:45

you kind of do like I don't know about Ellen

30:47

sister or so , and so like they're probably going to get married afterwards

30:49

. Yeah , I'm biased

30:51

, because it was that's how I met

30:53

my wife . Yeah , it worked out . It

30:55

did .

30:57

I think I think too many people Were there a lot

30:59

of bad situations though .

31:01

There were some that were less than

31:04

good . Yeah , yeah , but

31:07

nothing crazy like Africa , like stories

31:09

I hear from foreign missions

31:11

. Africa . There

31:14

was no Hinky Pinky or anything like that . That's good

31:16

. Yeah , it was all above bar . Yeah

31:19

. As far as I know I

31:21

don't know , dude , I think I'm biased but I would

31:23

say that a lot of

31:25

people want to . If they're a member of

31:27

the church and they want to continue staying strong

31:30

in the gospel , they're encouraged

31:32

to find someone who's also a member , especially

31:36

missionaries . A lot of girls are

31:38

encouraged , married RM and

31:40

now that there's a lot of sisters who go out and serve

31:43

, a lot of guys are looking for returned sister

31:45

missionaries . Just because you served

31:47

a mission doesn't mean anything

31:49

. We both know missionaries who made

31:51

it and weren't dedicated

31:54

weren't maybe as compatible as

31:56

you think they would . So I think it's important

31:58

to recognize that , although If

32:01

you're trying to find a spouse that has similar values

32:03

, maybe going to a college that holds

32:05

those values , serving a mission

32:07

, where you can find people who are also dedicatedly

32:10

serving , is important , but more so

32:12

than just finding a returned missionary

32:14

, finding someone who's dedicated to the

32:16

gospel , whether they've served or not , is

32:18

way more important . So I highly

32:21

recommend , if someone is serving a mission

32:23

or knows some

32:25

cool people from their mission , like

32:27

you , have so much in common , so many stories

32:29

, so many experiences , spiritual experiences

32:32

that you can connect with , and I

32:34

know a ton of really solid couples that have

32:36

come out of my mission and other missions

32:39

and I think that's so cool yeah

32:42

and it makes it easy to go back and visit the mission . Oh

32:44

it does . If we're driving through Nebraska it's

32:46

not boring like most people , we're like remember

32:49

someone's home , remember this experience .

32:50

Especially since you guys had the same first

32:52

area we did .

32:54

It's amazing , yeah so we actually weird

32:57

full circle . We're driving

32:59

out to do cells in Boston and

33:01

we both stayed and slept at a member's

33:03

house that we had both served around

33:05

and I was like , man , this is kind of weird

33:08

, sleeping in the same bed as a sister

33:10

missionary that I served in the mission with

33:12

. That is hilarious A little

33:14

odd .

33:15

Yeah , that is so funny .

33:16

But hey , sometimes crazy things happen .

33:17

Crazy things happen .

33:19

That's the beauty of life , it is

33:21

Dang . So , yeah , highly recommend

33:23

marrying someone from your mission if you

33:25

find someone that's dedicated , but

33:28

definitely don't recommend getting distracted

33:30

on the mission .

33:31

Yeah , don't go out , for

33:33

that reason A lot of sisters did .

33:36

The only reason they were out there is because they're like I

33:38

want to find an elder . Good for

33:40

you , but maybe serve the Lord . Yeah

33:43

, serve the Lord .

33:44

It'll be more likely that you'll find an elder

33:46

if you serve the Lord . I think so . And have that be

33:48

your focus . Exactly . It's

33:50

kind of like the I

33:54

forgot what it's called , but it's kind of like an ever

33:56

eluding , like an

33:58

ever elusive goal

34:00

. Whenever you're trying

34:02

to reach it , it doesn't happen

34:04

. But , as soon as you let , go and

34:07

let go let God , let go , let God

34:10

. I've actually never heard that

34:12

.

34:12

Really yeah , but it sounds like a good phrase Let go

34:14

, let God Don't quote me , it's from someone

34:16

else . Yeah , it's a good one , though that's a good phrase .

34:19

But as soon as you do that and you

34:21

start focusing on the right things , the

34:24

blessings will come . And

34:26

so I

34:28

forgot . There was an example of a guy who

34:30

had a stutter and he

34:33

was trying to get on this bus . And

34:38

he was trying to get on the bus for free . And

34:40

so he went up to the bus driver said hey

34:43

, can I get on the bus for free ? I have a stutter . But

34:45

he said it perfectly . He's like what

34:47

the heck he's like ? No , I promise

34:49

you , I have a stutter . And he said it perfectly

34:52

again Wow . And then he

34:54

realized when he was trying to convince

34:56

people he had a stutter , he

34:58

did . He didn't Interesting , but every other

35:01

time he did . Kind

35:04

of funny . Maybe it's just your brain does that

35:06

, but also just like goals

35:09

in general , if you

35:11

have good intention behind the goals , if they're

35:13

the right goals , god wants to

35:15

bless you . Yeah , he does and so he's

35:18

going to . And

35:20

that's what happened with you . You found an amazing

35:22

sister missionary and

35:24

then , after the mission , after you were done

35:27

serving him and focusing on

35:29

him , the opportunity opened

35:31

up . Yeah , and you guys are

35:33

a great couple .

35:34

I was like almost sure it was someone I knew from before

35:36

the mission or someone I would meet like in

35:39

college . I did not expect . Yeah

35:41

. It's meeting someone in the mission . Yeah , the

35:43

interesting thing . With that in mind , with goals

35:45

in general and I've done this and this could be a

35:47

whole podcast episode the topic of

35:50

just writing down what you want

35:52

and then focusing on what

35:54

you can do to become like that

35:57

person who would be able to receive that . Yeah . But

35:59

every single girl

36:02

I dated , or new in high school friends

36:04

I had in high school , I was always like writing

36:06

down notes , evaluating people , even

36:09

on the mission . You're living with these

36:11

companions and so you have a lot of friction

36:14

of just like living with someone . So you figure out , like

36:16

what are some personality traits , what are some behaviors

36:19

you like or maybe you don't like

36:21

, I don't like , yeah . And then girls I dated after

36:23

the mission too , because as soon

36:25

as I got home I wasn't waiting around for

36:27

Lizzie . I was like dating like crazy

36:30

, to meet a lot of

36:32

different people , to make some friends , to build , to

36:34

understand who I liked

36:36

and who I needed to become , to be prepared

36:39

for marriage . And

36:41

as I was writing down this list , I was like , hey

36:44

, then it was specific , highly

36:46

recommend whatever you want . Write down exact

36:48

details . So I'm like height , ethnicity

36:53

, nationality , religion attributes

36:57

, family attributes you marry their family

36:59

just as much as you marry a person . So

37:01

I had like exactly what I wanted

37:03

, locked down , written all

37:05

the way out . And then I was like , hey

37:07

, now , instead of like hyper focusing on comparing

37:10

every girl to this list , I'm

37:12

just going to leave that for God to

37:14

be able to help me with . Now , who

37:16

would I need to become to attract that

37:19

caliber of woman ? Because it

37:21

was a lot . I was like I don't know

37:23

if I'm in a position right now where

37:25

I could maybe score a

37:27

girl like that . And so , as

37:29

I was writing all these things down and becoming more

37:31

like that person , then

37:35

God had already preplanned and

37:37

pre-helped me find people who would

37:39

be , because there's no soulmate , but

37:42

you can find amazing people who

37:44

will be part

37:46

of that , and it happened to

37:48

be Lizzie . And if the scary thing is , if

37:50

you look at that original list , identical

37:53

to who Lizzie is , that's

37:56

amazing .

37:57

I actually have a question about goals . You

38:00

are somebody you're

38:02

very passionate and very tenacious

38:04

about a lot of things , but

38:07

in terms of business

38:09

and education , did

38:12

you do the same thing , write

38:14

out your goals of who you wanted to become

38:16

, what you wanted to do , what

38:19

opportunities you wanted to come your way ? Could you tell ? Me

38:21

a little bit about that .

38:23

So I haven't gone to college

38:25

, probably will never go to college . I knew

38:28

from a young age I wanted to be an entrepreneur . I

38:30

wanted to do photography for a while . Then

38:32

that moved into videography and filmmaking

38:35

. But as soon as I got home from the

38:37

mission I was like , hey , I'm doing video , so I need to learn video

38:39

editing software . I

38:41

need to get myself a camera . So

38:43

I have old vision boards where I

38:45

have the exact camera , the lens

38:47

, the mic , set up , everything I

38:49

wanted or needed . I

38:52

remembered full-time filmmaker back when I

38:54

saw that in high school , so I went and purchased that and started

38:56

seeing all these creators . And

38:58

so in business and in career

39:01

, I have exactly what I want Earlier

39:03

this year . This is really cool . I maybe I should

39:05

show a screenshot of this , but I

39:07

had okay . I want to partner

39:09

with these specific brands

39:12

. I want to work

39:14

with these specific people . I want to

39:16

become like these specific people . These

39:18

are the social goals I want to have . And

39:21

halfway through the year I looked

39:23

at it and I was like , oh my gosh

39:25

, I wasn't even close . These were like

39:27

massive goals . I wasn't

39:29

even close to them at the beginning of the year . And

39:32

now it's like October and

39:35

I'm working with FilmLab

39:37

, partnering with FilmLab . I wasn't working

39:39

with FilmLab in January , february , there

39:42

was no opportunity . I was like

39:44

I'm going to work with Mitchell Thane , thane

39:46

Brothers and FilmLab , and now we're here , I'm

39:50

going to partner with Onset Black . I have no idea how . Now

39:54

I've done at least three or four different partnerships with them

39:56

. Crazy , had no really connections . Love

39:58

the brand , wanted to do something with

40:00

them . I wanted to have X amount

40:02

of subscribers . I had like

40:04

600 . And then , with

40:07

a matter of a couple of weeks , it blew up to like

40:09

2600 now and

40:11

I want to hit 5k by the end of the year . By the end of the year is

40:13

my new goal . It was 1000 . And

40:15

I think I will . Yeah , like , people

40:17

are just coming in and subscribing . Same with Instagram

40:20

. Like , if you put those things out

40:22

there and then you actually do the work

40:24

, you do the key factors that

40:26

would contribute towards that . But

40:28

then just trust God's going to take care of you . He's

40:31

going to do that .

40:32

Amazing .

40:33

So I was shook at the

40:35

money that was coming in , at the social

40:38

proof that was coming in , the partners

40:40

, the friendships . And so it's like man

40:42

, maybe I should dream even bigger , like halfway

40:44

through the year , reevaluate . It's like , okay , now I want to

40:46

connect with these people and work with these

40:49

different experiences . Never

40:51

would have thought we would have worked with the jazz

40:53

or like all these massive brands , mr Beast

40:56

Insane , you know all these things

40:58

, and now we have , which is so

41:00

cool .

41:01

Yeah , Dude , the big dreaming

41:03

is I think it was just

41:05

this morning . It was

41:07

in the shower this morning . Actually , Shower thoughts

41:09

are the best . Shower thoughts are the best Because

41:11

I suffer from a lot of self

41:14

doubt , talking negatively

41:16

about myself , and just

41:18

I have a lot of big dreams

41:20

and then something

41:22

in my brain immediately has he got some thoughts

41:24

? Yeah , Like you think

41:26

you can have that , it's like there's better

41:28

people than you and

41:32

so . But this morning I was thinking

41:34

about it and I was just like why

41:37

, why can't ? I'd

41:40

be bringing in 30,000

41:44

, $60,000 in revenue

41:46

into the podcast department

41:48

per month . There's no reason why you can't

41:50

? Why not ? Why can't I

41:52

bring the build

41:55

the biggest and highest

41:58

quality podcast , calamari

42:00

in Utah and

42:02

work with the best podcasts

42:05

? I

42:07

freaking did an episode with Mr Beast , like

42:09

you were saying the Mr Beast . The Mr Beast , jimmy

42:11

Donaldson , jimmy Donaldson . And

42:13

so it was really cool . And it's just funny

42:15

because we're talking about it now and

42:18

you have been somebody that I

42:20

actually look up to a lot in

42:23

that area . You

42:25

have belief , you have passion . You write it down

42:27

and it happens . Mitchell

42:29

told me about when

42:31

you reached out to him . At first you're

42:33

like , hey , I'm wanting to get into

42:36

this , what should I do ? Yep

42:38

, and then I gave you a little list and

42:40

then you went and did it . You actually

42:42

did it . Most people just

42:45

ask and then they're like , oh , mitchell

42:47

didn't ask me to come like

42:50

help him film something , and then they get disappointed

42:53

. But you actually went and did it . And

42:55

then you went back to Mitchell and said , okay , did

42:57

it , abc and D , what's next , what's next

42:59

? And then he's like , sweet , when's

43:01

your next shoot ?

43:02

How can I be there ?

43:03

Yeah , yeah . It's just crazy

43:05

. Kind of going back to intentionality

43:08

, the intentionality you had on your mission

43:10

, whether it was to stick to

43:12

the rules or to go

43:15

and meet with the members and watch Passion

43:17

of the Christ , your intentionality

43:19

now has translated

43:21

to you meeting and working

43:23

with awesome brands , with the people you

43:25

want to work with , becoming the person

43:27

you want to be , the cameras you want to

43:30

have .

43:30

It's insane , so yeah

43:32

just major props to you . I

43:34

really appreciate that . And it's kind of a

43:36

full circle moment , cause when we met you

43:39

were like yeah , I'm getting into video and like I

43:41

don't know what I'm doing . And then you shared

43:43

Mitch's stuff and this was back in Avenue

43:45

Film Cub days and I was

43:47

eating that stuff up , following you guys

43:49

, and I was like man Tal's like the coolest guy

43:52

, that's nice and he's doing all these cool things

43:54

. And I was like it'd be so fun to work with

43:56

Talmage and those guys in the future

43:58

. And so

44:01

for you to say that I mean I've looked

44:03

up to you for so long and told me I've got permission , like

44:05

I was still following all your guys' stuff and

44:08

when you got back home April

44:10

, that's when I started released .

44:12

That's crazy .

44:13

Yeah , yeah , I was

44:15

like , whoa , like that stuff's happened . This is so crazy

44:18

. And yeah

44:20

, if you have a dream and then you just believe

44:23

, just believe it's already

44:25

happened in your life , act

44:27

like it's already happening . If you want to be the biggest

44:29

YouTuber , act like the biggest

44:31

YouTuber . If you want to be working

44:34

with Mitchell Thane , work

44:36

with Mitchell Thane . If you want to have

44:38

, you know , whatever it is money or

44:40

relationships or objects

44:43

, even things you want to purchase already

44:45

, act like you have those things . Tell

44:47

people you have those things , because

44:49

what could it hurt ? You know you're

44:51

only going to find the people you need

44:53

to talk , to , consume the media you need to have , and

44:57

then it's going to happen in your life , which

44:59

is so cool . And God literally

45:02

tells us out in the scriptures . He's like ask and you shall

45:04

receive . We don't ask

45:06

, though . Yeah , we're like oh , I can never have

45:08

that . Yeah . Or , oh , you know , maybe

45:10

there's someone better than that . But when you

45:12

shared like and maybe that's just a

45:16

gift that God has given me or

45:18

I've developed with parents and friends

45:20

that have been so supportive , when you're

45:22

like I could be the biggest podcasting

45:25

you know brand in Utah or

45:28

pull in 30 , 60 , 100

45:30

K a month , there's no

45:32

reason why you can't do that and

45:34

I have a hundred percent belief that you

45:36

will , and this podcast is only going to

45:38

get bigger and bless more lives . Sure

45:40

, have way cooler guests than Austin Brady

45:42

on Dude . You're freaking dope

45:45

.

45:45

What are you talking about ?

45:46

It's going to grow and you're going to be able to have way more opportunity

45:48

to bless people's lives , Cause that's your intention

45:50

is to support people .

45:52

I really want to do that and it's

45:54

been such a blessing already in

45:57

my life . Just

45:59

interviewing people that

46:01

have

46:03

gone through what I've gone through

46:05

and also who

46:07

have found success and

46:10

done great things Gives

46:13

me hope . I'm like , ah yeah , I

46:15

can do that , yeah , and so like

46:17

honestly doing this podcast

46:19

, even selfishly which

46:21

not all of my intention is

46:23

selfish , but part of it is Just like one percent

46:26

Because I gain so

46:28

much from it , just meeting with

46:30

people and having

46:32

an intentional conversation rather

46:34

than just shooting the breeze , chatting

46:37

. But , dude , I

46:39

principles of belief in oneself

you to succeed . When you believe it and

you act on it , god will make things

happen . He will move mountains . It's such

that and to see it in other people's lives that
