How did 7 Figure Leap grow?

Summary of the sourced claims below

Dustin Riechmann made podcasting his entire growth strategy, using podcast guesting as a way to borrow trust from other people's audiences. Podcast guesting, speaking on stages, and guest training in communities were described as generating higher-quality leads than social media, and he generated over $200,000 in revenue from fewer than 2,500 viewers on a single podcast appearance. Partnerships came from relationships built on podcasts, and the company's own podcast, 7 Figure Leap, was described as a six-figure marketing channel.
