The gig economy is a working pattern for individuals who hold self-employment status and pick up 'gigs' or a string of one off and short-term jobs, then receive payment for their services. This working style is becoming increasingly common in many professions, even legal industry professionals. The benefits are clear. They include flexible schedules, the ability to work remotely, even the opportunity to select projects that interest them. The gig economy provides an environment where legal professionals can tap into all the resources they need for their businesses. As we prepare to launch Expedite: Generation II, I've asked Lucas Peterson, paralegal and gig economy worker, to join me on this podcast to explore the future for the legal industry and how it's poised to take advantage of this gig explosion.

U.S. Army Colonel Rich Whitaker joins me this episode as we pay tribute to our military. The goal of this podcast initially was to talk about his time as a JAG officer with the military, the legal aspect. But as I started creating the outline for the interview, the topic quickly veered in another direction. After all, this is an interview of a successful full-bird colonel in the military. His loving wife and family are all motivated, dedicated, ambitious individuals, and THIS is the story I wanted our listeners to hear. The topic turned to the military and its influence on his life, both professionally and personally.

I am excited about this episode of “Legal Tech Tips with Eve”. I recently had the chance to sit down with THE Tom Stanton, who’s an intellectual property attorney, entrepreneur, tech guru, sensei, guitar player, volunteer extraordinaire…too many titles to list here as his list of impressive accomplishments never ends. This guy has a lot of creativity and all this energy, and he hails from Montana. I almost started getting distracted during the interview because Tom is very intelligent and his narrative is fascinating. He’s the type of guy that keeps you engaged and focused, mainly because he’s had such a variety of unique experiences in life. A mutual friend in the tech start-up community here in Tampa introduced me to Tom a few months back and we struck up a conversation about intellectual property, entrepreneurship, even marathons and Tough Mudders. I knew Tom had to share his story with my listeners. Today’s topic was “Technology in the Legal Field“, but during course of the interview, Tom mentioned that entrepreneurs must adopt the mindset of ‘comfort in chaos’, and I liked that phrase because it really applies to so many areas of the legal industry. The wheels of justice grind slowly, but it’s a chaotic grind upon which many of us thrive. True story. Entrepreneurship is very similar in the respect that it, too, is a slow, chaotic grind, and it’s definitely not for the faint of heart. So that’s what I explored during this episode with Tom, how he transitioned from a tech entrepreneur to an attorney.

Today’s podcast is called, “Lifestyles of the Talented & Adventurous: An International Realtime Reporter’s Story”. The lovely Leah Willersdorf sits down with me to share her journey as she pursues her passion. If you love reporting and you love traveling, you will enjoy this episode. I promise!
