Matt Millen is the co-founder and president of Regie AI , a platform that’s transforming how sales teams scale personalized outreach without losing the human connection. Before Regie, Matt’s career spanned everything from leading sales at Tony Robbins to competitive car racing—experiences that shaped his philosophy on performance, mindset, and winning the long game. In this conversation, Matt and John dig into the evolving role of the sales professional in an AI-first world. They explore why over-automation is eroding business acumen, how to develop reps who understand the why behind every tactic, and why the future belongs to teams who blend technology and authentic selling. Matt also shares his vision of the “Ironman model” of sales—where AI and automation amplify, rather than replace, human skill—and offers practical ideas for building workflows that empower reps to stand out.If you’re struggling with how to stay sharp and relevant in the age of AI, you’ll take away a ton from this one.
