S10 E21: Replacing Fragmented Agencies with Integrated High-Velocity Product Teams with Austin Vance, Co-Founder & CEO of Focused Labs (Focused.io)

Feb 25, 2025 · Season 10 · Episode 21 · 25 min

Consulting services that don't. just land and expand

Austin Vance grew up in Oklahoma, but takes residence outside of Denver, Colorado now. He is a father of 3 boys, who are also 3 in under - so he's quite busy. He loves woodworking, and teaching his oldest son how to ski. When it comes to food, he loves all of it in general - but has been drawn to asian fusion lately. And he enjoys reading business books, and sci fi - of which, Blade Runner was mentioned number one.

Austin had several experiences with consulting firms, where they operated under traditional "land and expand" models. IE, increasing the footprint of their teams. He felt passionate about building a services company that was designed to deprecate itself - starting with the wide world of DevOps.

This is the creation story of Focused.
