Ep 231 - The Founder of Rhymes with Reason on Adopting the Pro Athlete Mindset
What helps you get through the hard times, peers? For today’s guest, it’s remembering that his purpose is bigger than himself. By focusing on his community and ultimately, his target demographic, Austin Martin is able to get over the roadblocks and continue his mission of helping disadvantaged kids.
In this episode of Peers2Peers, powered by Shopify, we sit down with Austin Martin, the Founder of Rhymes With Reason, an Educational Technology company that helps students learn literacy through their favourite music.
Austin shares why his own lack of academic motivation led him to think outside of the box, why boredom doesn’t always mean you’re on the wrong path, and how to think bigger than yourself.
Austin Martin:
In our fast-paced world, boredom can often be seen as a negative.
Boredom means you’re not fulfilling your purpose. Boredom means there must be something bigger and better out there. Boredom means you’re not helping people.

The Founder shares why there’ll be moments of mundanity in entrepreneurship, how his own childhood shaped his career, and his creative tips on tapping into your mission.
