Meet Austin Martin & Golden Startup Coffee
Meet Austin Martin
Owner of Fixel, LLC
Tell us what you do without directly telling us what you do:
I turn tech frustrations into relief, transforming your ‘uh-oh’ moments into ‘ah-ha’ solutions. From cracked screens to software snags, I’m here to make your devices behave.
What are your top three hobbies?
Traveling: I’ll jump at any chance to explore new places, connect with different people, and dive into new cultures. Every trip is an adventure and a learning experience.
Tech: Unsurprisingly, I’m obsessed with technology. I’m constantly tinkering, learning, and figuring out new ways to make gadgets work better.
Learning Spanish: I’ve been learning Spanish since second grade and am now conversationally fluent. I love practicing with others who are native or also on their bilingual journey.
What are your goals for the year?
My top goal this year is to grow Fixel into a full-time business. For nearly a decade, it’s been a side hustle that I’ve loved, and now, I’m ready to take the leap into making it my main gig. Turning a passion into a career has been a dream, and this is the year to make it happen!
What are you going to do when you retire?
Honestly, I just got started, so retirement feels like a distant dream. But if I’m lucky, I’ll never really “retire”—I want to keep doing work that feels fulfilling, where every day is as enjoyable as a vacation.
What superpower would you like to have?
Freezing time would be my top pick. Imagine all the mischief and adventures you could have with zero consequences. Plus, who wouldn’t love more hours in the day?
What is your favorite quote?
“Stay hungry, stay foolish” -Steve Jobs I love this quote because it’s simple yet powerful. It reminds me to think outside the box, challenge the norm, and not just follow the crowd. It’s a mantra that drives me to innovate and find unique solutions in everything I do.
