Collin Austin, founder of New Scooters 4 Less, and Ty Rucarean, founder of Best of Gainesville, have come together to bring you incredible and inspiring stories of entrepreneurs and other awe-inspiring leaders.

Educate yourself and grow as we come together EVERY Monday at 8am to learn from the BEST. Ty and I are SUPER passionate about Gainesville, FL so we decided to create a podcast CENTERED here in Gainesville. Of course, we will bring in guests from other places and have a ton of fun learning from those outside our realm, but we want to have a heavy focus on showing off Gainesville's talent and what makes this place so special. We are on a mission to KEEP our talented students coming out of UF, a top ten public university HERE in Gainesville. We want to help Gainesville businesses recruit top talent to Gainesville, FL. We want to help Gainesville bring in new businesses. We want to help the small businesses in Gainesville learn from others and from one another in order to grow and be more fruitful.
