7-Figure Leap with Dustin Riechmann

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.Chapters:(00:00:00) - The Simplest Marketing Plan for Coaches and Consultants(00:01:00) - You Don't Need to Be a Marketer to Succeed(00:02:00) - The Two-Step Marketing System That Built Multiple 7-Figure Businesses(00:04:00) - Podcast Guesting Once a Week: The Foundation(00:06:00) - The Five P Framework for High-Quality Podcast Appearances(00:07:00) - Going Deeper: Marketing Partnerships Explained(00:09:00) - Types of Partnerships: Guest Training, Email Swaps, and Speaking(00:11:00) - Real Example: How One Podcast Led to Multiple Partnerships with Pat Flynn(00:16:00) - The Frequency Formula: One Podcast Per Week, One Partnership Per Month(00:19:00) - How to Get Started with the Podcast Profits AcceleratorLinks and ResourcesDustin on LinkedIn7 Figure LeapThanks so much for joining us this week.

Dustin reveals the counterintuitive truth that you only need three types of offers to build a seven-figure coaching or consulting business. Drawing from insights shared at the recent Seven Figure Leap mastermind retreat, Dustin breaks down the "wide, deep, and long" offer framework that eliminates confusion and creates clarity in your business model. He explains how wide offers (like books or workshops) create customers, deep offers (like coaching programs or consulting engagements) generate cash, and long offers (like masterminds or memberships) provide consistency. With real examples from multiple six and seven-figure businesses in his mastermind, plus a transparent look at his own offer stack at Seven Figure Leap, this episode challenges you to simplify your business and focus on what actually scales. If you've been overwhelmed by too many offers or unsure how to structure your business for sustainable growth, this framework will give you the clarity you need to move forward with confidence.Chapters:(00:00:00) - Teaser: You Only Need Three Offers(00:00:17) - Introduction to the Seven Figure Leap Podcast(00:00:35) - The Three Offers Framework Revealed(00:00:53) - Theme from the Mastermind Retreat: Simplicity Scales(00:01:26) - Why Offers Are a Perpetual Problem for Creators(00:01:47) - Wide Offers: Creating Customers at the Front End(00:02:32) - Examples of Wide Offers: Books, Workshops, and Challenges(00:03:42) - Deep Offers: The Core Transformation That Generates Cash(00:04:48) - Examples of Deep Offers: Coaching, Consulting, and Services(00:05:52) - Long Offers: Building Consistency Through Continuity(00:06:43) - The Ideal Revenue Ratios: 5-10-80 Framework(00:08:33) - Why You Only Need One Offer in Each Category(00:09:47) - Seven Figure Leap's Offer Stack Revealed(00:11:49) - How the Mastermind Functions as Our Long Offer(00:13:16) - Book a Strategic Call to Simplify Your BusinessLinks and ResourcesDustin on LinkedIn7 Figure LeapThanks so much for joining us this week.

Dustin Riechmann breaks down a transformational leadership framework that has fueled his business growth in 2025. If you've ever been allergic to the word "leadership" or thought it only applied to corporate managers with large teams, this episode will completely shift your perspective. Dustin introduces the Leadership Triangle—a simple but powerful framework consisting of self-leadership, team leadership, and thought leadership. He shares personal stories from his McDonald's days to his engineering career, revealing why traditional leadership models never resonated with him as an entrepreneur. Through candid examples from his own year, including going alcohol-free, hiring a fitness coach, attending a silent retreat, building his team at Seven Figure Leap, and leveraging his mastermind community, Dustin demonstrates how all three forms of leadership work together to scale a creator business. Whether you're a solopreneur with no employees or leading a growing team, this framework will help you identify where to invest in your own leadership development to create exponential growth and, more importantly, greater peace and fulfillment in your business.Chapters:(00:00:00) - Introduction: The Foundation of All Leadership Starts with Self(00:01:00) - Why I Used to Be Allergic to Leadership (McDonald's Story)(00:03:00) - From Engineering Manager to Entrepreneur: Escaping Traditional Leadership(00:04:30) - The Leadership Triangle Framework Revealed(00:06:00) - Self-Leadership: The Base of the Triangle(00:07:00) - My Self-Leadership Investments This Year (Alcohol-Free, Fitness Coach, Silent Retreat)(00:10:00) - Team Leadership: Beyond Just Employees(00:12:00) - Building Our Seven Figure Leap Team (Hiring, Sales Systems, Mastermind)(00:15:00) - Thought Leadership: The Creator's Superpower(00:17:00) - Podcast Guesting, Guest Training, and Speaking Opportunities(00:19:00) - Where to Start: Self-Leadership as Your Foundation(00:21:00) - How to Work with Seven Figure Leap (Podcast Profits Accelerator)Links and ResourcesDustin on LinkedIn7 Figure LeapThanks so much for joining us this week.

Dustin sits in the guest seat as Cassie Shea takes over as host to explore the transformation of Seven Figure Leap in 2025. Unlike previous years focused on aggressive growth, this year was about building sustainable foundations—right-sizing the team, investing in systems, and embracing patience as a leadership virtue. Dustin shares the honest story of a failed summit that created a five-month revenue gap, how 17 months of sobriety has brought emotional consistency to his business decisions, and the development of his "Leadership Triangle" framework encompassing self-leadership, team leadership, and thought leadership. The conversation reveals how stepping away from one-on-one sales calls, building a world-class community experience, and landing marquee podcast appearances with Pat Flynn and Nathan Barry (generating $160K from a single episode) set the stage for sustainable growth. Rather than chasing vanity metrics, Dustin doubled down on what matters: peace, sustainability, and building a business he'd be excited to run for the next decade.
