00:02 - What's up?

00:05 My name's Austin.

00:06 I'm 25 years old and there literally has not been a day

00:09 in the past three years where I haven't daydreamed

00:11 about being on Survivor.

00:12 I wanna be on this show so freaking bad.

00:15 Literally five of my past like seven dreams,

00:18 Jeff Probst has been there.

00:19 That said though, I don't want you being like,

00:21 "Oh, you know, he's just a typical MBA student,"

00:23 because I'm not.

00:24 And in fact, a lot of my friends, they think I'm a hippie.

00:26 I got so stir crazy during the pandemic.

00:29 Spontaneously, I went on this three week,

00:31 230 mile backpacking trip

00:33 across the tallest peaks in the US.

00:35 And I persevered through dozens of blisters,

00:37 gear failures, millions of mosquitoes.

00:39 And it was actually my first ever backpacking trip.

00:41 But the entire time I was actually thinking about Survivor.
