In this episode of the Level Up Creators Podcast, Amanda sits down with Dustin Riechmann, founder of Seven Figure Leap, to unpack how subject matter experts can build wildly successful businesses by leveraging one of the most powerful—and underutilized—marketing channels: niche podcast guesting.

Dustin shares his nonlinear path from engineering to meat sticks to digital marketing (yes, really) and how podcast guesting became the repeatable, scalable engine behind his seven-figure coaching and consulting business. If you’re looking for high-quality inbound lead flow, strategic relationships, and a flywheel that doesn’t rely on paid ads, this is for you.
