We had the good fortune of connecting with austin johnson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi austin, what do you attribute your success to?
The most important factor behind my success is staying consistent and trusting the process. Becoming a millionaire and being successful doesn’t happen overnight and like Nipsey Hussle said life is a marathon. Staying locked in day by day and believing in yourself and your brand when no one else does. Life is all about taking risk and the people who are the most successful are the ones who are taking the risk.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I have a clothing brand called Margina. What sets me apart from others is that I’ll hustle for mines. I will take a thousands no’s and still not give up on something that I believe will be successful. Yes, I have made a tone of mistakes along the way and I will continue to that’s the only way I will be successful. No having a clothing brand is not easy at all. Being a brand owner is already taking a risk because you are competing against established brands and everyone who is trying to do the same thing as you. how I overcame these challenges is me being different and trying to put out things that are different from everyone else coming up with different ideas and not giving up. I want the world to know that I’m just not a brand there’s a meaning behind it and that it’s a lifestyle..

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I would take them out to Buckhead and have a good time at the bars and clubs. I would go to Florida I love the heat and the beach. Definitely traveling to Dubai and different places around the world.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My mom is someone who I would like to shoutout she’s the hardest working person that I know, and she has never given up on me and sister no matter how much she struggled. Shoutout to the man above without him I wouldn’t have the vison or the path to success.
