Austin Barnard is a financial expert, investor, and business owner who has made a difference since introducing himself to the industry many years ago. Currently, he has one major company to his name, Orca Capital, a provider of financial advisory services and financial expertise. Austin currently acts as the portfolio manager of Orca Capital and has been instrumental in bringing the company to fame and success.
As a person, Austin has always been analytical, and he considers his mom as a major influence in his passion for business and finance. When he was young, his mother was a trader for a small company, and he witnessed how she enjoyed the fruits of her working passionately. Austin became inspired by his mom's involvement in trading, so he tried trading when he was only in high school and never looked back.
When he began college at the Ohio State University, he saw a significant flourish in trading stocks and continued even after graduating. During those times, he became interested in the cryptocurrency industry as he was amazed by the speed and volatility of this market. In 2018, Austin decided to deepen his knowledge of this industry, including blockchain, and committed his entire life to it.
In April 2019, Austin decided to build Orca Capital as he wanted to help traditional finance people get in the game. The company quickly started getting assets in the eight-digit mark and gained around 200 investors under his management. Austin wants people to see the beauty and value of blockchain technology and its ability to disrupt almost every aspect of anyone's business.
One big challenge Orca Capital faces, according to Austin, are the legalities that come with linking his business with cryptocurrencies. In the digital economy, there are still a lot of gray areas, which makes things ten times harder to manage and secure. In addition, most banks don't like dealing with crypto-related business, so earning client trust may be affected by this.
Austin is a highly successful and fulfilled business owner, but he still keeps his love for connecting with people a vital part of his career. As a trader, he directly oversees how his money grows, and he also witnesses how other traders' lives changed when they began excelling in trading. Austin wants people to realize that with digital currencies like crypto being utilized in businesses, opportunities for investment returns are almost limitless.
As an investor, Austin believes that his life's goal is to invest in people by opening their minds to the evolution in business and trading. He observes how countless people disagree with things they don't completely understand because they have a poor perspective on them. Austin believes that people miss out on many opportunities to succeed because of this mindset, and he thinks this is where he can help.
Austin sees himself as more than just a digital economy expert and business owner in the future as he wants to get into philanthropy too. To him, there's nothing more rewarding and fulfilling than helping others who can consequently help others in the future.
