Most people chase money, titles, and hustle culture until they burn themselves out.

This conversation cuts through all of that.

Dustin Lunde returns to Old Man Energy after several years, and the man has changed.

He sold a business, rebuilt his priorities, rebuilt himself, and discovered what real fulfillment actually looks like.

We go deep into identity, discipline, 75 Hard, authenticity, fatherhood, AI, building a business that supports your life instead of consuming it, and the turning point where you realize you are no longer fighting the world, you're fighting the man in the mirror.

This episode packs wisdom earned the hard way.

What You’ll Learn

• The moment Dustin realized success needed a new definition

• The trap of “doing more” and why it leaves high performers empty

• How 75 Hard evolves as you evolve

• The hidden cost of needing to be right

• Using AI as a tool without letting it steal your authenticity

• Why inner peace hits harder than any external win

• How to build a business that actually gives you time freedom

Sick of being told to just “work harder” in your service business while you keep drowning in admin chaos and inconsistent income? This episode of Old Man Energy is your no-BS guide to flipping the script. Flint Anderson strips away the fluff and exposes why most blue-collar entrepreneurs are stuck: clinging to manual labor, fearing automation, and telling themselves they can’t afford help. The truth? AI isn’t some Silicon Valley toy, it’s a practical tool that can buy your life back if you’re willing to put it to work.Inside, Flint lays out exactly how he’s leveraged AI, warts and all, to automate quote follow-ups, handle repetitive tasks, and carve out space for high-value sales and growth. You’ll get real stories from the trenches of the janitorial and maintenance industries, actionable strategies for eliminating bottlenecks, and zero-excuse steps to start systemizing your time (even if you “don’t do computers”). If you’ve been burned by shiny-object tech, Flint breaks down how to test, implement, and actually profit from automation tools, plus how to turn that reclaimed time into recurring revenue.Expect blunt truths, practical advice, and a call-out for every business owner still making excuses about admin, tech, or “not having time.” You’ll get Flint’s signature tactical audits, simple AI prompts to cut your workload, and the mindset reset you need to build a business that serves you—not the other way around.If you’re tired of working nights, hating paperwork, or feeling like growth is impossible. This is the episode that punches through the noise and gets you moving. Listen in, take notes, and start building your freedom machine today.#AIAutomation #BusinessFreedom #RecurringRevenue #ServiceBusiness #EntrepreneurLife #PassiveIncome #TimeFreedom #BusinessSystems #ScaleYourBusiness #AIForEntrepreneurs #OldManEnergyWhat you can do to stay connected:👉 Like, Subscribe, and Share if this helped shift your mindset💬 Drop a comment: What’s ONE moment where your perception totally misled you?📥 Check the description for OMEMurch + new programs📲 Follow Flint on all platforms for daily mindset content Also check out two of my books for free!https://www.anyidiotwithahammer.flintanderson.com/https://www.momentummatters.flintanderson.com/Old Man Energy's Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/theoldmanenergyEntreprenual growth | https://750kmastermind.comFlint's Website | https://flintanderson.com/Flint's Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/phlintrock/Flint's Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/PhlintRock/Flint's Tiktok | https://www.tiktok.com/@phlint_rockFlint's Twitter | https://twitter.com/PhlintRockOfficial Merchandise | https://shop.flintanderson.com/
