Podcast Guesting + Partnerships: The Only Marketing You Need

Dustin breaks down the simplest marketing plan for coaches, consultants, and service providers to achieve six, multi-six, or seven figures—without feeling like a marketer. Drawing from his experience building multiple seven-figure businesses (including 7 Figure Leap, Fire Creek Snacks, and Engaged Marriage), Dustin reveals a two-part system that's worked for over 250 clients: strategic podcast guesting once per week and forming one deep marketing partnership per month. He explains why being good at what you do doesn't require being good at traditional marketing, how to select the right podcasts with the right stories and calls to action, and how to identify which podcast relationships should evolve into deeper partnerships like guest trainings, email swaps, summit speaking, and co-hosted webinars. Dustin shares real examples from his partnerships with Pat Flynn, Nathan Barry, Justin Welsh, and others, demonstrating how this relationship-based approach creates a sustainable, enjoyable business that generates consistent leads and sales while staying in your zone of genius.
