AI Systems That Help You Scale Smarter, Not Harder with Dan Cumberland

Dustin Riechmann sits down with AI consultant and serial entrepreneur Dan Cumberland for a deep dive into how entrepreneurs can scale lean without losing their soul. From ministry roots to leading venture-backed SaaS teams, Dan shares how burnout forced him to rethink everything—and how AI became the bridge between sustainable growth and human-centered business. You’ll hear the behind-the-scenes story of his own pivots, why the “fractional CMO” label only scratches the surface, and the systems he's building to help founders stay lean and in control. This episode is a must-listen for entrepreneurs craving alignment, impact, and growth in the AI age.Chapters:00:00:00 - Rethinking AI: Not a Tool, a Teammate00:00:51 - Kicking Off: Inside the Seven Figure Leap Mindset00:01:11 - Meet Dan Cumberland: Pastor-Turned-Tech Visionary00:01:44 - From Burnout to Breakthrough: Dan’s Journey into AI00:06:07 - Can AI Be Meaningful?
