💻 A 14-Year-Old Digital Pioneer

Austin’s journey began on MySpace in 2004. At just 14, he had figured out how to grow a fan base and make real money — before most of his peers even knew what “social media” meant.

But it wasn’t always easy. He faced skepticism from friends and even his parents. Still, Austin was hooked — and his early wins planted the seeds for everything that followed.

📈 From Agency Grind to Content King

After a detour in agency life, Austin reignited his brand through Socialty Pro, combining SEO-driven video strategy with short-form content. That focus exploded his presence:

• 10 million+ daily views across TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube

• 750K+ followers on TikTok alone

• Featured on major platforms for his insights on SEO, marketing, and AI

He mastered the formula: educate, engage, and repurpose — and now teaches others to do the same.

🤖 Building Syllabi.ai and the Future of AI Marketing

Now as founder of Syllabi.ai, Austin helps creators consistently produce high-quality content using AI tools. He’s also the founder of AI Marketing World, the event for marketers leading in AI innovation.
