How your emotions are triggered by things we continue to see on a regular basis.

In this no-BS roundtable, David Cowen sits down with Kevin Cohn - Chief Customer Officer at Brightflag; Tyler Finn, Head of Community & Growth at SpotDraft; and Matthew Wheatley, VP, Client Strategy at Priori to unpack the real state of legal operations, talent, and transformation. Forget the panel buzzwords. This episode pulls back the curtain on what's actually happening inside high-performing legal teams. What's inside: • Legal ops has hit a plateau, but careers haven't. The smartest players are skipping the next rung and stepping into legal strategy, transformation, and C-suite alignment. • There's no ladder, just a jungle gym. From executive assistants to legal COOs, this episode is a playbook for navigating ambiguity and turning it into an advantage. • The real skill gap? It's not tech. It's knowing your value. Are you a builder, a manager, or a creator? Know your lane, then double down. This is the episode you forward to your team with one line: “This is the conversation legal ops needs to hear right now.”

For us I think it was like 150 members before we started actually monetizing. But you know, I would say you want to get to 100 members, you want to have at least 40, 50 die hard members that are engaging in there every single day. You want to get at least five to 10 conversations happening a day. If somebody can ask a question and have it answered that same day like that, that's the value creation right there, right? You don't want to be the one, you yourself answering every single question because you yourself, you don't know everything.” — Eugene Khayman, 00:08:33 → 00:09:25Monetizing and Scaling a Community: “Whenever somebody starts making a profit because of others, there's going to be some level of, like, why are we doing this? And there's also going to be that, that hesitation to grow. Everybody's going to be like, 'We're so great, we don't need more people.' Right? And we've crossed that bar—100 members, 200 members, 400 members—there's always that, ‘Oh, we're too big, we're too big, we're too big.' And you're going to get that pushback. The biggest thing that I think that helped us do it together is one, once we started monetizing, we started putting all of that money back into more events and more resources, building a team… Once you start adding back value by hiring people that help keep things organized, putting on calls regularly, doing events regularly, you'll get that respect from those members, those existing members. And then the new people that are coming in, you have to show that these new people actually bring value to the community.” — Eugene Khayman, 00:11:33 → 00:13:03Show notes powered by Castmagic---Have any questions about the show or topics you'd like us to explore further?Shoot us a DM; we'd love to hear from you.Want the weekly TL;DR of tips delivered to your mailbox?Check out our newsletter here.Follow us for content, clips, giveaways, & updates!Castmagic InstagramCastmagic TwitterCastmagic LinkedIn  ---Blaine Bolus - Co-Founder of CastmagicRamon Berrios - Co-Founder of CastmagicEugene Khayman - COO of Million Dollar Sellers

In episode 84, Drew and Tim discuss various reasons why church attendance is declining, such as increased affluence, youth sports, travel, and the availability of online services. They emphasize the need for community, structure, and accountability within the church body. The conversation highlights the dangers of self-directed spirituality and the trend of prioritizing personal comfort over collective worship. They also address how churches can inspire participation through meaning and joy rather than guilt and urge listeners to find value in being part of a church community. How can churches adapt to these modern challenges and ensure they remain impactful and relevant?

host Dave Sobel sits down with Kelvin Tegelaar, the CTO of Lime and founder of CyberDrain, to discuss the evolving landscape of SaaS management and the innovative approach taken by CyberDrain. Tegelaar introduces the Cyber Drain Improved Partner Portal (CIPP), an open-source, multi-tenant management solution specifically designed for Microsoft 365. He highlights the need for affordable management tools in the MSP space, which often suffer from high pricing models. By offering a free and open-source tool with optional support, Teglar aims to democratize access to essential management resources for MSPs.The conversation delves into the dynamics of community involvement in open-source projects. Tegelaar shares insights on how CyberDrain has fostered a vibrant community of contributors, many of whom are system administrators rather than traditional developers. This community-driven approach not only enhances the product but also creates a sense of camaraderie among users. With around 7,000 active MSPs utilizing SIP, Tegelaar notes that a significant portion is opting for the paid support model, while others engage in self-hosting and community support.Tegelaar also discusses the balance between commercial interests and community contributions, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a clear separation between CyberDrain and his MSP, Lime. This separation helps avoid conflicts of interest and ensures that the focus remains on delivering value to all users. The episode highlights the collaborative relationship between CyberDrain and Microsoft, where Tegelaar's insights and feedback from the MSP community are used to enhance Microsoft's Lighthouse product, showcasing a unique partnership that benefits both parties.As the episode wraps up, Tegelaar reflects on the future of AI in the MSP space, particularly the potential of large language models (LLMs) to create meaningful applications that go beyond simple tasks.
