My Story

I am an entrepreneur from Northwest Missouri. I founded a meal prep company called Lean Kitchen Company, where we offer delicious, pre-packaged healthy meals, and have locations all over the country; I also own a couple of other businesses (hence the big ice cream cone building)!

I opened my first “real” business, if you will, a retail store at 22 years old - but only after attempting many other small ventures in my teenage years, ranging from owning Red Bull vending machines to painting address numbers on curbs, dropping out of college & many other lessons learned along the way.

I love the journey of business: The everyday chaos, the ups & downs and constant challenges that come with it. I truly have a passion for business & began putting out content to pass on the things that I am learning to other aspiring business owners and entrepreneurs. I know that one reason that I have been able to avoid many mistakes along the way in business is by listening to people far more successful than me - However, I have still made many mistakes of my own that I believe the lessons learned are worth passing along & can help someone else.

This is the exact reason behind launching my podcast, Speed Bumps with Austin Evans. Speed bumps are the mistakes & lessons we learn along the journey through life - mental speed bumps, relationship, friendship & my favorite: Business. Mistakes are best learned secondhand & a whole lot cheaper as well. Tune into the podcast where I share my own stories and also interview others to learn from their speed bumps.

I also have a YouTube show called “Hobby Talk” where I dive into my passion for collecting & storytelling.

Last but definitely not least, I have a beautiful wife named Kelly, who is ridiculously talented at everything, is the host of an awesome podcast called Mama Mystery & I also am blessed with 3 amazing children. Life is full & I wouldn’t have it any other way. Thanks for stopping by!
