#246: Lawyer Self-Advocacy (How To Speak Up, Stand Out)
Lawyers are great at advocating for clients, yet most are terrible at self-advocacy. We need to do better for ourselves. I rarely use the word “should”, but this is one of the times when I make an exception. Self-advocacy is necessary for building a successful and (more importantly) enjoyable legal career.
Tune into today’s episode to learn why lawyers tend to be bad at self-advocacy, the necessar
#245: Law Firm Operations (How to Get Hours Back Every Week Through Structure)
Law firm operations might sound like a “boring” topic. But what if I told you that having the right structure in place can save you hours each week? What if I told you that this is key to creating a more balanced life? Those two results are definitely not boring. That's exactly what we get into today on Life & Law. Tune into my conversation with Shireen Hilal to learn why moving away from a "
#244: Stop Hating Law Firm Politics (It’s Part of Leadership)
“I hate law firm politics. I don’t like playing games.” Said a client.
This is a common sentiment (I hear often from clients).
But what if what you're calling ‘politics’ is simply what happens when a group of humans with different experiences, priorities, personalities, values, and agendas work together? And what if, by ignoring all the political stuff, you’re actually hurting yourself (not merely
#243: Legal Billing (The Cost of Not Billing Regularly)
If you think legal billing is just an administrative or collections issue, you're missing something important. How often (and even more importantly, how) you bill your clients impacts more than whether you get paid. It impacts how much you collect, client trust, and whether or not a client will continue sending work your way. Listen to today's episode to learn why that is and how to bill in a way
#242: Permission Not To Grow Your Law Practice
Grow your law practice. That's the general rule. But what if you're working hard but not enjoying it? What if you're resisting growth?

Listen for a reality check around what you truly want and giving yourself permission NOT to grow.

#240: Values Alignment Isn’t Safe (That’s the Point): Let’s Talk About Antisemitism
I talk a lot about values alignment (aligning your law practice to your values). But what, precisely, does that look like in practice? Here's the thing: Values that cost you nothing probably aren't values — they're just words you aren't really standing behind. Yet the cost is worth it. Because NOT aligning to your values costs something, too.
That's why I was immediately drawn to Ariella Cohen Col
#239: How Lawyers Get Clients
Ever wonder how lawyers get clients? It's not about pitching them more (or harder). It's actually about alignment, timing, & understanding your clients (deeply). Listen to learn how to align to them, understand them, and use timing to your benefit.

#235: Why Lawyers Are Meant To Lead (In A Complicated World)

How many billable hours are you losing each week, month, and (gasp) year because you aren't tracking your time contemporaneously?

#211: Math vs. Mindset: Why Lawyers Need To Identify The Cause
When revenues dip, billables drop, or client intake slows, most lawyers assume the fix is to do more (of whatever you've been doing). But what if the problem is what you've been doing (or how you've been approaching it)? Doing more of what you’ve been doing won’t fix a thing.
