My guest today is Sadie Blanchard, a Professor of Law at the University of Notre Dame. She teaches and writes about contracts, corporations, and international business law. Her research examines how legal institutions interact with social forces to shape behavior, especially in markets. She's here today to discuss her recent article, Contract or Prison, in the University of Chicago Law Review. The paper discusses the expansion and privatization of “Incarceration Alternative” arrangements, such as electronic monitoring, criminal diversion, and parole and probation. Blanchard argues that, while the norm of expanded choice that justifies enforcement of contracts has prima facie plausibility in this context, the agreements ultimately fail under classical contract theory because they are made against the background of entitlements created to extract value from people using the coercive power of the criminal legal system. This episode is co-hosted by UVA Law 3L, Kyndall Walker.Show NotesAbout Sadie BlanchardAbout Kim KrawiecAbout Kyndall WalkerSandie Blanchard, Contract or Prison (forthcoming, University of Chicago Law Review 2025)Additional Reading Discussed (or relevant to the discussion):John H.

Experimenting with AI is exciting—but how do you make the leap from tinkering to transforming agency operations at scale? In this conversation, Galen Low brings together Melissa Morris (Agency Authority), Kelly Vega (VML), and Harv Nagra (Scoro) to talk about how agencies can carve out space for experimentation, align AI use to business goals, and actually implement the good ideas that emerge.The panel shares stories of saving hours on PM tasks, setting up accountability frameworks, and creating safe spaces for knowledge-sharing. They also surface the tough stuff—fear of job replacement, cultural resistance, governance challenges—and how to navigate it with clarity and empathy.Resources from this episode:Join DPM MembershipSubscribe to the newsletter to get our latest articles and podcastsConnect with Melissa, Kelly, Harv on LinkedInCheck out Agency Authority, VML, Scoro and The Handbook: Agency Ops podcast

Ops Quickies – snackable episodes on tech, tools, and systems.

Trav, Zach, Harv and Tanner get into some hot topics and of course, make light of things.

Touch the same piece of information more than twice – fix the workflow. That's the kind of CFO-meets-COO thinking we get into in this episode of The Handbook, where Harv sits down with Lindsey Head to connect the dots between finance, ops, tech, and people – and what really changes when you standardise how the business runs. Lindsey helped scale a PR agency from 5 to 125 people and $750k to $25m in revenue, leading finance, ops, HR, tech, legal and M&A along the way – so she's seen where the cracks form, and how to close them.Here's what we dive into:• The case for “non-billable” hires early – why dedicated new-business and ops roles pay for themselves, and a simple admin-as-%-of-revenue rule of thumb (aim for ~7–8%).• Systems thinking > shiny tools – map the ideal information flow first, then pick tech to automate it. If you're touching the same data repeatedly, the process is broken.• Change management that actually works – phase rollouts, involve users early, test, train, and measure adoption before you “go live.”• Multi-entity without the migraines – standardise what you can across entities, respect local nuance (currency, tax, PTO), and use partners/EORs when expanding fast.• Run the business by the numbers – utilisation, gross margin by client, and labour % tell the truth; AI can accelerate FP&A and reporting, but you still sanity-check the outputs.If you're feeling buried under tools, processes, and hiring questions, Lindsey's final nudge is simple: pause, map “how it's going” vs “how it should go,” and focus this quarter on the single change that unlocks the most leverage.Additional Resources:

Trav, Harv and Tanner talk about this weeks most hot topics.

When businesses talk about “productizing,” they often picture cookie-cutter scopes and rigid templates. But according to Brian Kessman, that's missing the point.Brian is the founder of Lodestar Consulting, and he's spent 25 years helping agencies and consultancies scale without burning out teams or eroding margins. His approach isn't about productizing services – it's about productizing value.In this episode of The Handbook: The Operations Podcast, Brian and Harv dig into what that really means, and how it can transform both your client relationships and your bottom line.Here's what we cover:The difference between productizing services (deliverables) vs. productizing value (outcomes)Why improving operations alone won't fix a business model that's not designed to scaleHow to spot patterns in your expertise and codify them into structured solutionsWhy productization doesn't kill creativity – it actually creates more space for itSmarter ways to think about pricing, from fixed fees to value-based modelsBrian also shares case studies from consultancies and agencies that have reframed their offers around outcomes – unlocking higher margins, more predictable delivery, and stronger authority with clients.If you've ever felt stuck between reinventing the wheel on every project or being forced into commoditized work, this episode is for you.Additional Resources:

The Return of Martin Guerre is a 1982 French historical drama directed by Daniel Vigne and staring Gerard Depardieu. The film describes the historical case of Martin Guerre who leaves his young wife Bertrande (Nathalie Baye) in the small French village of Artigat to fight in a war and travel. Around eight years later, the false Martin (played by Depardieu) returns to the village to resume his life. The false Martin (whose real name is Arnaud du Tilh) persuades the people in the village that he is in fact Martin Guerre. This includes Bertrande, who goes on to have two children with the false Martin and who seems happy to finally have a husband who loves her, as opposed to the real Martin, with whom she was trapped in an arranged and loveless marriage. But when the imposter Martin presses his uncle for the money he is owed for his land, the uncle denounces him as a fraud. An investigation and trial follow to determine if the Depardieu character is the real Martin. The imposter Martin is on the verge of winning until the real Martin shows up at the last minute, exposing the imposter Martin, who then confesses. The imposter (i.e., Arnaud) is then led to the gallows and hanged, and the real Martin resumes his place in the village.Timestamps:0:00     Introduction2:56      Teaching comparative law through film4:18       A quick primer on French legal history7:33       Jean de Coras and the Parliament of Toulouse11:28      How the false Martin Guerre becomes Martin Guerre16:12      The allegations against Martin and Bertrande21:01      The trial of Martin Guerre25:16      How the false Martin almost pulls it off27:26     The execution31:29      Religious conflict in 16th century Europe34:59     The difficulty of proving identity at the time Further reading:Bienen, Leigh Buchanan, Book Review, “The Law as Storyteller,” 98 Harv.

Your ops might be ticking along just fine.But what if your founder got sick tomorrow? What if your top client left? What if you had to make a big decision with zero visibility on the numbers?You might not be planning to sell your agency – but you should run it like you are.Because when you adopt that mindset, you zoom out. You stop firefighting. You start building a business that runs without you.This week on The Handbook, Harv sits down with Sam Wood – fractional COO and founder of consultancy Ottesu – to talk about how agencies and consultancies can apply board-level thinking without needing to set up an actual board.Because a business that's sale-ready is a business that's well run.In this episode, Sam breaks down the five areas every agency should be reviewing regularly – whether you're building to exit or just want better control of the ship.Here's what we get into:Why applying board-level thinking doesn't mean setting up a boardroom – and how to startHow to define and operationalize strategy (it's not just a slide in onboarding)Why culture starts with leadership behavior (not beers and pizza)How to build capability and resilience so your business doesn't depend on heroicsHow to reduce risk and spot gaps in capability before they break youThe one performance metric every service business should be tracking if they want to be profitableWhether you're an ops lead or MD, this one's packed with practical ways to futureproof your agency.Additional Resources:Follow Sam Wood on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sam-wood-gaicd-9023a54a/ Check out Ottesu's website: https://ottesu.com.au/ Follow Harv on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/harvnagra Stay up to date with regular ops insights.
