    Valuable Resource to Any Current or Prospective Solo/Small Firm Attorney
    I am way overdue in putting to paper that I recommend this podcast to most lawyers I know. I stumbled across this podcast in late 2023-early 2024 - a time I knew I was going to be making a career jump but didn’t quite know where I’d land. His insight and perspective on what matters, what doesn’t, how to narrow your focus, and how to be and do better for your employees & clients made an immeasurable impact on me as I considered going solo. I ultimately landed in a small firm & find myself regularly discussing and implementing lessons I’ve learned from listening. Thanks Brian & co. for putting this on and doing the work you’re doing!
  • RickM47630

    Great content
    I’ve been following Brian for a while on LinkedIn and started listening to his podcast when it came out. He delivers great value, content, and guests every show. I highly recommend.
  • iamrhothomas
    Great insights!
    I love the way Brian thinks about the practice of law. So many people make the law their entire lives, rather than one piece that fits into their lives. The more voices speaking about a more balanced approach to the legal profession the better.
  • Bob the Girl

  • Toledo Fanatic

    Brian forces me to “think” about my life, law practice, family, priorities, and family. He is fantastic at making a thoughtful point in a concise manner. It is your loss if you don’t listen. Chuck Boyk 40 year personal injury lawyer Toledo, 0hio

    Brian asks great questions of great guests and the result is that I come away richer for having listened. I highly recommend.
  • Benglasslaw
    Life is more than your occupation
    There are a ton of podcasts out there about how to improve your life and your business. In this one, Brian shows you a lot of inside baseball. No, what he is only for his life and not be what you were designing for your life, but they should inspire you to be intentional about what you want to get – no matter what your profession or job is in the world. Lots here for everyone.
  • Peter McKernan

    Keep turning out the podcasts they are great!
  • porscheracegirl
    Great show with insightful guests
    Brian is a wealth of knowledge and provides insights that I find very refreshing. His guests are always great too, and real! I especially enjoyed the one on the gray zones /areas since I can relate. It helped me realize I’m not alone and there are solutions without anything heavy. Thanks for your show, Brian, and keep up the amazing work!
  • Frank Kearney
    Really interesting topics and guests for any professional
    Great topics and guests for anyone interested in business, investing, real estate, getting more done. Brian’s interview style is awesome - he helps his guests tell a story. There is no legalese or boring lawyer talk - just interesting conversations and thoughts.
  • Mike Monteforte
    Great stuff!
    Awesome Info here. We lawyers can get so focused on the day-to-day, with cases, clients, and running our firms, that we forget to look for enjoyment in our lives. This is a great reminder that you can use your business as a source of freedom and joy. Tons of real-world advice info. Highly recommend!
  • Sarah Busch
