About the Host
Austen Tucker
Host of The Breakout Bunch | Entrepreneur | Mortgage Heavy Hitter
Austen Tucker doesn’t do boring. He started his first business at 14—a paintball company that flamed out fast—but it lit the fuse. By 19, he jumped headfirst into the mortgage world with no roadmap and a chip on his shoulder. Now? He’s one of the top-producing loan officers in the country, leading a killer team, still originating, and constantly recruiting the next wave of talent.
But it doesn’t stop at mortgages. Austen owns a tile company, runs multiple ventures, and now, he's the host of The Breakout Bunch—a no-fluff, no-gatekeeping podcast built to show young people what’s actually possible when you bet on yourself. The show dives into the real stories behind founders, creatives, underdogs, and rising stars—and how they made it happen.
The motivation? To give the next generation proof that you can take risks, build your own path, and do life on your own terms—even if it doesn’t look like what everyone else is doing.
And this isn’t just a podcast—it’s becoming a movement. Austen is building an invite-only networking group made up of past guests from the show, flipping the script on traditional, stale networking events. Think less name tags and awkward handshakes—more pickup games, club nights, sport days, and actually connecting with like-minded people who are out here building real shit.
Born and raised in Orange County, CA, with a quick Boston detour before returning home in 2024, Austen is out to change the game—for good.
