While everyone's worried about AI replacing them, Dustin Riechmann built a $1M business by doubling down on what AI can't replicate: human connection and shared values.
Dustin's journey from traffic engineer → marriage ministry → meat stick entrepreneur → seven-figure business coach proves that relationships trump tactics every time.
His unconventional strategies:
🎯 Using podcast guesting for "relationship arbitrage"
🎯 Training AI on private client calls (not public content)
🎯 Non-dominant hand writing for breakthrough insights
🎯 Prayer before every AI session for better results
The game-changer: One podcast appearance led to a Walmart deal AND his first coaching client. That's the exponential power of human-to-human marketing.
