Dustin Riechmann, the Founder of 7-Figure Leap, joins Access Your Leadership to share his unconventional career journey, moving from a stable 17-year engineering career to becoming a thriving entrepreneur. He discusses how his entrepreneurial journey evolved from online marriage ministry to launching a digital marketing consultancy, to creating a successful physical product business, and ultimately founding 7-Figure Leap. As Dustin begins his story, he shares a recent leadership win: speaking to high school seniors in a program called CEO (Creating Entrepreneurial Opportunities), where he highlighted the importance of storytelling, adaptability, and how embracing uncertainty can lead to growth. How does storytelling create connection and trust in leadership and marketing? Why can embracing uncertainty and taking “non-permanent” steps be transformational? What is the role that identity and alignment with values plays in building personal and professional success? How is empathy, paired with authority, essential for leadership both at work and at home? What were some of the unexpected lessons learned from pivoting during COVID and leveraging podcast guesting to scale businesses? Dustin’s story is a fantastic example of self-leadership and the power of saying “yes” to opportunities, even when they’re outside your comfort zone. So as you listen, be thinking…What are the key values driving your own leadership? How can leaning into curiosity, adaptability, and community help you expand your impact? There’s so much to gain from Dustin’s insights, especially around leadership, resilience, and the power of community. Enjoy!
