Bio:
We began our AI journey in 2018 and, backed by 12 industry-grade certifications, today Coach Austin teaches enterprises and small businesses how to understand and integrate AI across their various industries.

With over 18 years of experience, I've dedicated my career to helping disadvantaged and small to medium-sized businesses navigate and capitalize on opportunities in Private Procurement, Public Government Contracting and supplier diversity roles markets that have historically been difficult to access.

Through a deep understanding of the procurement ecosystem, I educate business owners on how to identify, pursue, and secure contracts while teaching them to "speak the language" of government procurement and supplier diversity. My mission is not just to get businesses in the room, but to ensure they are strategically positioned for long-term success.

At the core of my methodology is the 4 Pillars of BANKREADY® (Planning, Strategy, Credentials, and Positioning) is a proven framework that empowers businesses to show up prepared, credible, and competitive. I've also embraced the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to streamline operations, enhance decision-making, and support my team - without ever replacing the personal, relationship-driven touch that clients value most.

This blend of traditional insight and forward-thinking innovation allows me to guide businesses with clarity, purpose, and commitment to their success in every phase of growth. My passion is simple: empower entrepreneurs with the knowledge, strategy, and access they need to thrive in spaces where they have been traditionally underrepresented.
