Austen Allred (Twitter, LinkedIn) is the founder and CEO of Lambda School (Website, Twitter). As a college dropout, Austen never expected to start his own business, let alone one in the education sector. But Austen saw a problem that no one else was willing to fix, and decided to do something about it.

“We started Lambda School to solve the problem of how to get a high-quality job-enabling education to folks who otherwise couldn’t afford it.”

Listening to Austen’s journey, you’ll learn why you can’t let a lack of “credentials” stop you from building and growing your business, how to figure out the real problem you’re customers are facing, and simple strategies you can use to find solutions to your biggest business challenges.
