Dustin was halfway finished with writing a humorous book about his generation, the millennials. Then Donald Trump was elected president, and a week later, Dustin was diagnosed with leukemia. Finishing the book during chemotherapy, Dustin began to realize his perspective had changed, and he probably wasn't alone. Cheeto Dust (and other blood on millennial hands) is a fun examination of how America's largest generation approaches fitness, money, family, technology and politics. The author will be donating all his profits from Cheeto Dust to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to research cures for blood cancers.
Dustin Riedesel is a recovered leukemia survivor and recovered addict. Since both recoveries, Dustin has spoken at dozens of companies and formed an annual 24-hour rowing event called Row24 that raises money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. He is a husband and a father, in leadership at Cisco Systems, and has completed three marathons (Chicago, Disney & San Antonio). Dustin's most recent book uses humor and personal narrative to deliver tactics on running a marathon. The story shows how anyone can endure hardship, shed bad habits and become the first version of their best self. Dustin graduated from Asbury College where he played NAIA basketball. He is a former Kansas 5A State Champion football player (Go BVHS Tigers!), and he currently lives in Raleigh, North Carolina with his wife and two children.
