Faith, Fear, and the Power of Principle: Dustin Hillis with Preston Brown
Description
What happens when success becomes your biggest test of faith? In this episode, Preston Brown sits down with serial entrepreneur and leadership expert Dustin Hillis — a man who’s built, scaled, and led multimillion-dollar businesses across industries from AI to global coaching.
Dustin opens up about his journey from selling books door to door to becoming the President of Safe Space Global, where AI meets purpose to save lives. He shares how a football injury redirected his life path, why faith became his compass, and how he turned decades of lessons into his bestselling book, Capacity: Building a Business Bigger Than You.
Together, Preston and Dustin dive deep into what it means to lead with faith, tame the ego without killing ambition, and find your true identity beyond your title. From managing the fear of success to building teams that scale, Dustin reveals the six core pillars behind sustainable growth — starting with executive strategy, marketing, and business development.
It’s a conversation about balance: ambition and humility, faith and pragmatism, success and surrender. Whether you’re leading a startup or steering a legacy company, Dustin’s story is a reminder that principles—not pressure—are what build empires that last.
“The foundation of your life should be principle based. Like if you have principles that you live your life on, you're going to land in a better place than trying to just go with the flow or do what you think people want.” — Dustin Hillis
