Why FB Groups Are The Fastest Way For Coaches To Grow - Interview With Richmond Dinh

AI is replacing information.
Community is replacing coaching.

In this episode, I sit down with Sarah Ann, author of Million Dollar Groups, who built a million-dollar business from a small Facebook group — without a massive audience, without paid ads, and without chasing vanity metrics.

If you’re a coach, consultant, or online business owner… this conversation might completely shift how you think about growth in 2026 and beyond.

Because here’s the truth:

We are no longer in the information industry.

AI can out-coach most coaches.
But AI cannot replace belonging.
AI cannot replace tribe.
AI cannot replace community.

And that’s exactly why Facebook Groups are about to become the most powerful business model in the online space.

💡 Key Takeaways

We’re not in the information industry anymore.

We are in the community industry.

A small, high-quality group of 500–1,000 people can outperform massive audiences.

Trust is built through compressed, high-frequency touch points.

And monetization becomes simple when you control the journey — not the algorithm.
