About Aundrae Gaskin - The King of Increase

The version of me that exists today almost didn't make it.

I'm Aundrae Gaskin. Army veteran. Author. Speaker. Coach.

But before any of that — I was a 20-year-old soldier pulling bodies from floodwater in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. My three roommates got the Afghanistan orders I was supposed to have. They didn't come home.

I did.

That survival guilt, combined with years of choices I'm not proud of — a criminal history my family found out about through Google mugshots, periods of homelessness, a night alone in a hotel bathroom with a gun to my head — that's the fire I was forged in.

I'm not telling you this to impress you. I'm telling you this so you know: I am not a coach who read the right books. I am a man who lived through the pages.

What I've built since then.

Over 15 years, I've worked alongside executives, coaches, and thought leaders who have generated over $1 billion in cumulative revenue.

I've spoken on stages that moved rooms. Written a book that confronts the gap between success and fulfillment. Built frameworks — the D.E.C.I.D.E. Method, the INCREASE Framework, the Leadership Identity Assessment™ — that give high performers a language for what they've been feeling but couldn't name.

And I've coached the person everyone else looks to for answers — who has no one to call when they're the one who needs help.

WHO I WORK WITH NOW

The people I'm called to serve.

My clients are elite athletes and executives who've already won by the world's definition.

They have the title. The income. The respect.

But they're leading from performance, not identity. And somewhere between the wins and the obligations, they lost the thread back to themselves.

If that's you — you're not broken. You're just overdue for a real decision.

That's where I come in.

The Origin of Increase...

My story starts with faith. I was raised in a family where purpose wasn't a Sunday word — it was the air we breathed. My grandfather could move a room with his voice. My uncles preached. The men around me understood that words, delivered with conviction, could change the direction of someone's entire life.

From the age of 6, I knew I was built for that too.

That foundation carried me to Florida A&M University — an HBCU I'm proud of — and then into the United States military, where I learned what discipline, sacrifice, and brotherhood actually cost.

Then came Katrina. The streets. Seasons of failure I didn't talk about. A criminal history my family found out about from Google. Homelessness. And eventually, a hotel bathroom floor with a gun in my hand.

Not a motivational moment. Not a turning point you'd put on a slideshow.

A decision.

That I was going to live — and that if I lived, I was going to mean something.

I've been building on that decision ever since.

What I'm here to do.

My mission has never been to inspire people. Inspiration fades by Monday.

My mission is to help high-performing athletes and executives make a real decision about who they are — and then build a life that's actually congruent with that answer.

That's it. That's the whole thing.

People call me the King of Increase. I earned that title not because I have it all — but because I've navigated the full distance from brokenness to breakthrough. And I know how to help you do the same.

The D.E.C.I.D.E. Method. The INCREASE Framework. The Leadership Identity Assessment™. The book. The coaching. The stage. All of it built around one belief: you cannot outperform an identity that doesn't fit you.

It's your time to decide.

And I'm here when you're ready.
