About Dustin Garr
Perspective is
personal.
It's shaped by everything you've lived through — and it shapes everything you do next.
Author, speaker,
entrepreneur.
I'm an author, speaker, and entrepreneur with a background in business, construction, athletics, and coaching.
I've spent years watching how quickly good intentions turn into misalignment — and how often clarity is available when people slow down long enough to see it.
My work is built around a simple idea: most problems between people aren't caused by bad character. They're caused by different interpretations of the same moment. When you understand that, everything shifts.
Perspective shows up
everywhere.
Especially when you're paying attention.
Business
Building companies from the ground up taught me that clarity isn't a luxury — it's a survival skill. Every misunderstanding has a cost.
Construction
In construction, you learn fast: when the plan in your head doesn't match the plan in someone else's, things break. Communication isn't optional.
Athletics
Sports strip away pretense. Under pressure, you see who people really are. That's where perspective gets tested — and where it matters most.
Coaching
Coaching showed me that the best advice usually isn't about telling someone what to do. It's about helping them see what they're already looking at.
Helping people think
before they react.
I care about perspective — the way we see things, and the way that seeing shapes everything else. How we treat people. How we lead. How we handle pressure. How we communicate when it matters most.
I care about clarity — not the kind that comes from having all the answers, but the kind that comes from asking better questions and being willing to see what's actually there instead of what you assumed was.
And I care about alignment — because the best teams aren't the ones with the most talent. They're the ones who see the same things the same way.

When I'm not writing
or working with teams.
Fishing, family, the outdoors, and building things — because perspective is easiest to see when you step outside your routine.
Let's start a conversation.
Whether it's about the books, perspective training for your team, or just connecting over a shared idea — I'd love to hear from you.
