Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a law firm owner looking to scale your business? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson interviews Matt Burke, the founder of Zilla Metrics, who shares his remarkable journey from a troubled youth to building a successful business helping law firms scale. They discuss law firm marketing, client experience, and operational challenges.With expertise in helping law firm owners scale, Matt talks about the importance of mapping the client journey. This includes understanding and mastering every interaction a client will have, from looking you up online to closing a case. Mapping the client journey also involves making each step of the process seamless. For example, if someone is getting to know your firm and wants to see if you are a good fit for them, create a quiz funnel on your website. This allows for someone to answer a few quick questions about their situation, leading to that first call.Matt and Tyson chat about patterns seen in successful law firms. Successful law firms are focused on generating leads and are obsessed with the intake system. Since intake is a crucial part in making money, many successful firms get it right. Their system is easy, quick and uses all the right tools and processes. Another pattern is having a good CRM. Many firms fail because their CRM is not being used by staff or is too complicated.

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a law firm owner looking to create better work environments for your staff? In this episode of "The Guild Live Show," Tyson explores why every team does not always thrive in a so-called “innovative” culture, emphasizing the importance of tailoring workplace environments to unique needs. Tyson speaks to the importance of culture fit for companies who want to create healthy work environments. Sometimes the culture of a firm involves a certain type of individual who will make the firm better. Relying on creating a team of misfits can create environments where people might not be able to keep up and it can be damaging. If the environment of your firm is fast paced, it is important to hire people that fit that mold. Leaders play a role in creating and determining what the culture is and it is important that leaders know what they want for their firm.Good work environments support employee's development and mental health. Tyson shares some team activities leaders can coordinate to boost cognitive health. This can be things employees do solo or the team does together. Ideas include the team tracking their sleep to find out how much is needed to be productive, creating 90 minute work blocks where everyone does focused tasks and committing to minimizing some low value channels of information, like social media.Take a listen.1:20 The importance of culture fit over emulating large companies4:00 Leaders' role in creating cultures that attract and repel talent8:55 5 ways to make yourself less intelligent15:14 Suggestions for team activities to boost cognitive healthTune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here.

In a retail landscape obsessed with speed and conversion, Anthropologie has mastered something far more elusive: cultural alchemy. How do you transform a fleeting TikTok trend into a cross-category empire spanning everything from ceramic lamps to cashmere sweaters? COO Candan Erenguc reveals the operational artistry behind turning cultural moments into commerce gold, and why connection always trumps conversion. The Genius Behind That Viral DressKey takeaways:Community over conversion - Building authentic customer relationships drives long-term success more than short-term sales optimizationCultural instinct beats data - When responding to viral moments and cultural trends, intuition often signals opportunities before data can catch upChoice trumps speed - Customers value optionality in how, when, and where they receive products more than just fast deliveryLocalized curation wins - Store-specific assortments based on neighborhood demographics and customer needs drive expansion successCross-category trend application - Scaling cultural moments across diverse product categories (from eccentric lamps to dog sweaters) maximizes trend participation[00:03:13] "[Our merchant teams] are ahead of the curve, predicting trends. And if I may be so bold, they're influencing trends." - Candan[00:05:53] "It's symbiotic. Our goal is to give customers what they want. But I think …sometimes they don't know yet what they want." - Candan[00:20:04] "Connection over conversion. You build the connection, everything else will come." - Candan[00:16:41] "I don't think that the most important thing is speed. I think the most important thing is choice." - Candan[00:19:43] "We're also at a time where people are much more savvy than we give them credit for." - PhillipIn-Show Mentions:Listen to Mindy Massey, Anthropologie Global Director of Stores, on the latest season of Step By Step.Associated Links:Check out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce+ for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you looking for help on how to grow and market your firm? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer, Tyson interviews Travis Hoechlin and Vaidas Cikotas about how law firms can grow beyond referrals by embracing modern marketing strategies. They highlight the risks of relying solely on referrals, the need for a strong online presence, and the importance of effective intake processes. Solely relying on referrals can limit the growth of a law firm. It is important to diversify clientele and how you get revenue. For some, relying on referrals means a firm doesn't need to take time to update their website or care about how they are perceived to people trying to figure out more. This can really become problematic because referrals are not always guaranteed and you are missing out on a large portion of people who you could engage with.Though marketing is an important aspect of a firm, poor processes can make efforts useless. You can market your firm to the point where you are getting a lot of calls and interest. But, if your intake process is not good or your staff are not on top of the phone line, you are losing interest from people who are going off of first impressions. It is important to establish good intake processes to ensure your firm can flourish.Take a listen to learn more!05:41 Risks of Referral-Only Growth09:22 Catching Up After Neglecting Marketing 12:56 Short-Term vs. Long-Term Marketing Strategies17:58 Why Marketing Efforts Sometimes Fail24:20 Improving Intake and Staff Training 27:51 Website Conversion Optimization TipsTune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here. Connect with RizeUp Media:Website  Instagram  Facebook  LinkedinX

Expressing your first amendment right and burning the flag to incite anger and violence is a clear distinction and our panel weighs in on the recent executive order from the president. Some woke branding blunders got a dose of reality this week, first MSNBC went to MS NOW in a move that flopped then Cracker Barrel jumped in the mix only to see themselves eviscerated online and their parking lots empty. It was a quick blunder as Uncle Herschel was only removed from the iconic logo for a few days until Cracker Barrel folded and went back to their classic Americana logo. The DNC's summer meeting was utterly horrendous and embarrassing. A land acknowledgement that fell right back onto the land and a Democratic party that isn't worried about getting carjacked? Meanwhile the shining star of the Democratic party Zohran Mamdani struggled to get one single rep at 135 on the bench press at Men's Day in Brooklyn. Kamala Harris blew $1.5 Billion in 107, went over $20 Million and stuck the tab on the DNC. Imagine what she would of done with your money.

You have all the strategies, all the frameworks, and all the tools, but you're still not implementing them. At this point, you know the problem isn't your lack of knowledge. Today I'm switching things up from my usual strategy heavy episodes to tackle the real issue that's keeping you stuck: your mindset around marketing and content creation. After being surrounded by entrepreneurs outside my direct industry, I've realized we're complaining about posting 3 times a week while others are treating content creation like the full-time job it actually is. The truth is, we're headed toward a future where you can't afford to be on just 1 platform anymore, and if you can't manage 2 posts now, you're going to struggle when the standard becomes 6 posts across multiple platforms just to crack six figures.

Building Business Value Through Strategic Branding: Insights from Wendy Coulter of Hummingbird Creative GroupIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge interviewed Wendy Coulter, President and CEO of Hummingbird Creative Group. With over three decades of expertise in branding and marketing, Wendy discussed how strategic branding can transform a business—not just in terms of sales and marketing, but across company culture, operations, and even its overall valuation. This episode is a must-listen for business leaders, marketers, and entrepreneurs looking to leverage branding for long-term success.Strategic Branding as a Business Growth EngineWendy highlights that branding is a strategic asset that impacts every part of a company, from culture to customer interactions. It's not just about a logo or a catchy slogan; branding encompasses the entire business model. It shapes internal culture, drives how employees engage with customers, and builds a reputation that attracts trust and credibility. By aligning your brand with your core values and mission, you create a business that stands out in a crowded marketplace.Wendy also points out the critical role that branding plays in company valuation. A well-established, differentiated brand can increase your company's worth by as much as 25% to 100% when the business is up for sale. Companies with strong brands are seen as more attractive to investors, and they often enjoy higher profit margins compared to their competitors. As such, branding isn't just an expense—it's an investment that pays off long-term in terms of both growth and valuation.Finally, Wendy emphasizes the importance of starting with strategy before diving into tactics. Many businesses rush into digital marketing or paid ads without a clear brand strategy, leading to wasted resources and ineffective messaging. Instead, businesses should define their unique value propositions, set clear goals, and develop a comprehensive brand strategy to guide all marketing efforts. This ensures that all campaigns and messaging are aligned with the company's business objectives, reducing wasted spend and improving effectiveness.About Wendy CoulterWendy Coulter is the President and CEO of Hummingbird Creative Group, a branding and marketing agency that helps businesses elevate their brands to drive growth. With over 30 years of experience in marketing, Wendy has worked with numerous companies to create impactful, strategic brands that resonate with their audiences and position them for long-term success.

Many attorneys rush into the court process rather than using problem solving to avoid it. Court can really become traumatic for all parties involved, including the children. For John, family law is all about finding solutions in order to avoid court. Because family law often deals with high emotions from all involved, it is important to be collaborative and work with everyone to reach a solid conclusion.John speaks to delegating intake as an attorney and provides some advice that should be followed. If you are an attorney who also acts as the boss of a firm, you need to take your attorney hat off and figure out how best to run your firm.

It was around Memorial Day in 2022 when Coca Cola stunned the beverage world by announcing it was shutting down production of Honest Tea. No one was more surprised than Seth Goldman, who had co-founded the brand and sold it to Coke. But within two weeks, he'd decided to do it all again, and by that Labor Day, bottles of his new venture, Just Ice Tea, were already landing on store shelves. And now, three years later, Just Ice Tea has exploded from $1 million in annual revenue to nearly $24 million to rank 88th on the latest Inc. 5000—more than two decades after Honest Tea first appeared on the list. Which makes this the perfect moment to revisit the conversation I recorded with Seth right before Just Ice Tea launched. In it, he shares how he processed Coke's decision, why he sold to Coke in the first place, what compelled him to get back into the business, and what he learned working inside the world's largest beverage company. And yes, I asked whether he could imagine selling this brand to Coke, too.
