The AI Growth Strategist: Francis Rodino on Solopreneurs, Smart Marketing & the Future of Business
Description
What if scaling your business didn’t have to mean stress, burnout, and endless hours chained to your laptop?
In this episode, I’m joined by Francis Rodino - growth strategist, sales automation expert, bestselling author of Leads Machine, and founder of Lead Hero AI. Francis has helped clients generate over $300M in revenue and reclaim more than 200,000 hours through smarter systems, automation, and AI-driven marketing.
We talk about:
✨ Why most entrepreneurs overcomplicate growth (and how to simplify it).
✨ How AI and automation can give you freedom, not overwhelm.
✨ The RED Method framework - Roadmap, Engine, Drive - that transforms scattered marketing into predictable sales.
✨ What small business owners can learn from enterprise-level strategy.
Francis’s story proves that with the right systems and clarity, you can build a business that grows without burning you out.
