Austin Erkl

Austin Erkl is an entrepreneur, author and independent publisher who made his first online sale on eBay at 15. Over the next fifteen years he built e-commerce businesses on eBay and Amazon, and tested more than 30 ways to make money online.

He is the founder of Stoneglass Editions, an independent imprint with more than 30 classic titles on Amazon. His own books cover entrepreneurship and self-improvement, including THE OPERATING SYSTEM series, along with practical guides like How to Buy, Sell & Make a Fortune on eBay and his griddle cookbook.

Drawn to the wisdom found in classic texts, Austin believes the greatest lessons in life, business, philosophy, and human nature were often written long ago. Each title in this collection is chosen with intention: works that have stood the test of time and still hold real value for today's reader.

A former American Airlines flight attendant, he has spent the past three years living and working as a digital nomad across Asia, Europe and South America.
