Hi- I'm Austin. I help people laid-off rebuild their routines and land their next role.
I've been there too...
For over a decade, I built a career in startups and corporate environments—leading teams, earning promotions, and making an impact.
Then came the layoffs.
Each company’s decision felt impersonal to them but world-changing to me. My confidence, identity, and stability were shaken every time.
I was laid off 3 times... before my wedding, after buying our first home, with a new baby in our lives. There's never a 'good time' to lose your job. It's always the worst.
But I also found a way forward.
Each time, I landed better roles, faster than my peers, with more opportunity and better compensation. And it wasn't by chance. There was something I did differently.
So, what made the difference? How was I able to navigate being laid off quickly and effectively? It wasn't luck, it was structure.
I relied on a daily routine to be productive, feel good, and land the job.
Here's the secret:
After being laid off, I realized that a job search isn’t just applying for jobs—it’s rebuilding the day-to-day.
Without routine, we spiral.
But when I applied a simple daily structure to my job search, everything changed. I landed better roles, faster, because I had a system that worked.
I call it The LAND Routine — a simple, repeatable system that turns uncertainty into progress.

The LAND Routine
A simple framework for your day-to-day.
Learn
Stay sharp. Improve your skills, industry knowledge, and professional value.
Apply
Be intentional. Apply to the right roles and craft applications that stand out.
Network
Build relationships that open doors and provide community in an authentic way.
Defend
Defend your energy and focus with structure so you stay resilient and consistent.
These four activities, connected through a daily routine, drive traction in your job search.
They’re the foundation of everything I write about, teach, and share at Laid Off Launchpad.
