Welcome to episode 256 of the Grow Your Law Firm podcast, hosted by Ken Hardison. In this episode, Ken sits down with Luke W Russell, the award-winning host of Lawful Good. Award-winning host of Lawful Good, Luke W. Russell, returns with a new platform: Beautiful Humans. Luke entered the legal world in 2011 and has since managed $30 million in social media ad budgets, driving thousands of personal injury and mass tort cases. Everything began to change when on January 1st, 2021, Luke launched Lawful Good, a groundbreaking podcast that shared untold stories of prominent lawyers like Ken Hardison, John Morgan, and Ben Crump. After three successful seasons, the podcast ended, but it sparked Luke's realization that storytelling was his true passion. Now blending years of study in human connection with powerful storytelling, Luke focuses on harnessing film to drive business objectives and foster meaningful connections. His work includes documentaries on survivors of child sex abuse and the Beautiful Humans movement launched in Fall 2024. Beautiful Humans renews our sense of shared humanity, championing the belief that all humans are inherently beautiful. As the industry shifts toward AI, Luke's insights show how firms can leverage the vital, biologically-rooted power of human connection to thrive in an increasingly digital world. What you'll learn about in this episode: 1. How You Can Use Film and Video to Create Trust Videos can be a tool for shareing personal stories that connect with your audience, helping build trust and authenticity. This could mean using a video to showcase marginalized groups or sensitive topics, showing your commitment to justice and compassion. 2. Why Intentional Storytelling Resonates With An Audience Sharing authentic stories helps audiences see themselves in the experiences, creating deeper emotional connections. Intentional storytelling builds understanding and empathy, even across differing perspectives or backgrounds. 3. How Lawyers Can Maximize Film and Video for Marketing and ROI Videos that emphasize human connection build credibility and loyalty, helping law firms attract and retain clients. Incorporating films into PR, social media, and email marketing campaigns boosts engagement and increases conversions, turning trust into measurable business growth. 4. Why Both Short-Form and Long-Form Video Have Lasting Impacts Longer videos provide the opportunity for deeper connection, allowing law firms to share impactful stories that resonate and establish trust with their audience. Short videos can amplify a law firm's message in a quick, memorable way, helping to establish a strong, consistent brand presence across social media and digital platforms. 5. How the Beautiful Humans Movement Strengthens Shared Humanity By showcasing individual beauty and experiences, the Beautiful Humans Movement encourages empathy and deeper understanding across diverse communities. The movement uses storytelling to challenge negative stereotypes and promote unity, encouraging people to see and appreciate the humanity in others.

Shownotes can be found at https://www.profitwithlaw.com/387.There's no one-size-fits-all marketing formula to marketing a law firm. In the legal field, as in any business, failure is a part of the journey. However, rather than viewing setbacks as defeats, see them as opportunities for growth and improvement. Analyze your mistakes, learn from them, and dust yourself off. With diligence and putting trust in the process, your law firm's growth potential is limitless.In this episode, Luke Russell joins us to discuss why it's okay for law firms to fail in their marketing ventures. He emphasizes that the key is finding a marketing strategy you genuinely enjoy. He also encourages us to use social media as a relationship-building tool, not a channel for getting attention. Most importantly, Luke urges lawyers to embrace experimentation, recognizing that failure is integral to successfully marketing a law firm.If you want to know how to start building a marketing approach that captures your personal values and your firm's brand, this episode is for you.00:00 Introduction4:55 Luke's Beginnings7:18 Getting into the Legal Field10:57 The Business Problem We Need to Solve in the Legal Field in Relation to Mental Health12:53 Entrepreneurial Frustrations as a Lawyer15:52 Navigating Business and Marketing as a Lawyer18:44 Doing YouTube25:51 Pulling the Plug When Something's Not Working28:32 Perfectionism vs. Diligence in Marketing a Law Firm33:21 Luke's Parting Piece of AdviceResources mentioned:Subscribe to Profit with Law's Youtube channel for exclusive content!Want to implement what you've learnt in this episode?

We are together at the shore. First beach meet up of the season. We talk about steeplechase. Erin goes over some of the heptathlon events she will have to participate in. A man tries to propose after completing an Ironman. Someone finds an old Mcdonald's meal in their wall while renovating their house. Crocs were meant to be "idiot shoes". Erin can make 5 second decisions. Are you a maximiser or a satisficer? Why is the food at the Masters so cheap? What's the catch? We take the Moral Alignment Test to see if we are good, lawful, chaotic or evil. If you were handed 10 billion dollars right now, what would you still never buy?

In my recent interview with Regina Calcaterra she explained the drastic differences between children who are adopted from the foster care system and those who simply age out of the system. Adopted children are 50% less likely to be arrested or become homeless, and 50% more likely to graduate college, among many other emotional and practical benefits. In that interview, Regina recommended that anyone interested in becoming foster parents or forever parents contact an organization called You Gotta Believe. The nonprofit helps foster children find families, provides certification and licensing for foster parents, and provides a framework for helping those parents learn to care for youth dealing with trauma and abandonment.In this episode, I'm having a conversation with three people involved with You Gotta Believe — executive director Jennifer Pinder, director of the Nobody Ages Out Youth Movement Anni Keane, and advisory board member and returning Lawful Good guest, Regina Calcaterra. Join us as we delve into the importance of the work the organization does, how it's making positive, long-term changes in the lives of foster kids, and how you can get involved.Check out our sponsors!Hennessey DigitalMilestone FoundationTrial School7 Figure CasesLooking for other great shows?

Sex, Drugs, and Saving Throws is an adults only actual-play podcast filled with graphic violence, bad language, bizarre sex stuff, and copious drug use set in a heavy metal homebrew fantasy world using the Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition rules. Set six months after the events of the first chapter of this story "Endless Harvest", Baking the Law finds the Mithril Maidens back together again, down on their luck and trying to get back into the music scene. The main difference is that now they have a manager, Orin Killroy, who won the honor of being the band' front man by losing in a game of cards. Orin and the Mithril Maidens have travelled to the Lawful Good kingdom of Obscondia to partake in the Baking the Law extreme baking contest. They have met the competition - The Hex Pistols, a group of wanna-be bad ass lady warlocks and The Feebler Elves, three extremely old and unpleasant high elves and have started their first challenge - baking muffins made from parts of a Manticore. So tease up your hair, tug up those tight leather pants and get ready for Baking the Law! Your Tour Manager and GM for Sex, Drugs and Saving Throws is Matt. The rest of the cast is: Malcolm, as Orin Killroy, a half-elven cleric and newly named manager of the Mithril Maidens. Nathan, as Echoes of Banter, an Eladrin elven monk and lead bagpiper of the band. Sean, as Huilgrim of the Lost Shire, a Halfling barbarian and lead lutist. Tyr, as Raine Northshine - a Fey rogue/arcane fighter and lead bass lutist. Chris, as Zulja Azeya - a Half-orc bard and drummer. and...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: IMPCO, don't injure yourself by returning FTXFF money for services you already provided, published by EliezerYudkowsky on November 12, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. In my possibly contrarian opinion, and speaking as somebody who I don't think actually got any money directly from FTX Future Fund that I can recall; also speaking for myself and hastily, having not run this post past any other major leaders in EA: You are not obligated to return funding that got to you ultimately by way of FTX; especially if it's been given for a service you already rendered, any more than the electrical utility ought to return FTX's money that's already been spent on electricity; especially if that would put you to hardship. This is not a for-the-greater-good argument; I don't think you're obligated to that much personal martyrdom in the first place, just like the utility company isn't so obligated. It's fine to be somebody who sells utilons for money, just like utilities sell electricity for money. People who work in the philanthropic sector, and don't capture all of the gain they create, do not thereby relinquish the solidity of their claim to the part of that gain they do capture, to below the levels of an electrical utility's claim to similar money. The money you hold could maybe possibly compensate some FTX users - if it doesn't just get immediately captured by users selling NFTs to Bahamian accounts, or the equivalent in later bankruptcy proceedings - but that's equally true of the electrical utility's money, or, heck, money held by any number of people richer than you. Plumbers who worked on the FTX building should likewise not anguish about that and give the money back; yes, even though plumbers are probably well above average in income for the Bahamas. You are not more deeply implicit in FTX's sins, by way of the FTX FF connection, than the plumber who worked directly on their building. I don't like the way that some people think about charity, like anybody who works in the philanthropic sector gives up the right to really own anything. You can try to do a little good in the world, or even sell a little good into the world, without signing up to be the martyr who gets all the blame for not being better when something goes wrong. You probably forwent some of your possible gains to work in the charity sector at all, and took a bit of a generally riskier job. (If you didn't know that, my condolences.) You may suddenly need to look for a new job. You did not sign away your legal or moral right to keep title to money that was already given you, if you've already performed the corresponding service, or you're still going to perform that service. If you can't perform the service anymore, then maybe return some of that money once it's clear that it'll actually make its way to FTX customers; but keep what covers the cost of a month to re-search for a job, or the month you already spent searching for that job. It's fine to call it your charity and your contribution that you undercharge for those utilons and don't capture as much value as you create - if you're nice enough to do that, which you don't have to be, you can be Lawful Neutral instead of Lawful Good and I won't think you're as cool but I'll still happily trade with you. (I apologize for resorting to the D&D alignment chart, at this point, but I really am not sure how to compactly express these ideas without those concepts, or concepts that I could define more elaborately that would mean the same thing.) That you're trying to be some degree of Good, by undercharging for the utilons you provide, doesn't mean you can't still hold that money that you got in Lawful Neutral exchange for the services you sold. Just like any ordinary plumber is entitled to do, if it turned out they unwittingly fixed the toilet of a bad bad pers...
Nathan Bruemmer is a Florida native who grew up the adopted child of older parents. He was assigned the female gender at birth, but as he headed into high school, he became increasingly aware that there was a big difference between his experience of the world and the expectations others had for him.

He now serves the LGBTQ+ community in a wide variety of roles, including his position as the LGBTQ+ Consumer Advocate at Florida's Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.In this interview, we discuss Nathan's years teaching in the public school system, the presence and loss of the strong women in his family, and what it's like working for the government in the midst of a culture war.Check out our sponsors!Hennessey DigitalMilestone FoundationTrial School7 Figure CasesLooking for other great shows?

Our guest today is James Helm, founding attorney of Top Dog Law.James grew up as an only child with boundless energy. He always wanted to know what was next and he spent most of his time playing sports with the neighborhood kids. A curious mind is one of the hallmarks of James' personality; even as a young kid, he was always asking “why,” sometimes to the chagrin of his teachers. His desire to get to the root of an issue is a characteristic that makes him a diligent attorney and businessman.James started wrestling at a young age, and he discovered he was pretty good at it. He continued wrestling throughout grade school, where he tore his rotator cuff. While recovering from his injury, a doctor prescribed Percocet. Although James didn't abuse the opiate at the time, he would later end up taking opioids recreationally at parties as a way to “fit in.” Before he knew it, he developed a full dependency that followed him through the remainder of high school and higher education.James graduated from Penn State and later went to Rutgers for his law degree. Even with his success at school, he hit a breaking point with his addiction and entered rehab in August 2016.In today's episode, James and I talk about the start of his opioid addiction, why he chose the name Top Dog Law, and the power of wearing your heart on your sleeve.

Today's guest today is Randi McGinn, one of America's leading trial attorneys. Because of her dad's position in the military, Randi moved around a lot as a kid. Although she was often jealous of her friends who had permanent homes, her experiences cultivated a unique view of the justice system and how it's been applied to different people. As the oldest of four siblings, Randi proudly claims her “bossiness.” Growing up, her grandmother McGinn had the biggest influence on her life. In Randi's own words, she was a “pistol” who didn't play by the rules. Randi had powerful female influences, including her mother, that inspired her to fearlessly take on any challenge. In today's episode, Randi and I talk about the intensity of grief after losing your soul mate, giving birth one day before the bar exam, and how she accidentally found her perfect career.

My guest today is Alexander Shunnarah, known as a master of marketing among many personal injury attorneys. Alexander grew up in Alabama, where he spent his weekends at flea markets with his father. Later, the two would buy and grow a chain of convenience stores, putting into practice the principles of sales and marketing that Alex had learned from a young age.Believing that Alex's future could hold greater things, his father encouraged him to continue his education at law school — a path that would eventually lead him one of the biggest personal injury brands in the south.In this interview, we discuss that journey, including his family's migration from Palestine, the faith that still guides Alex daily, and the joys and tribulations of parenthood.Check out our sponsors!Hennessey DigitalMilestone FoundationTrial School7 Figure CasesJoin our Better Together LinkedIn Group
Chris Seeger is a leader in mass tort and class action. Chris grew up on Long Island, where he practiced carpentry for years after high school. Almost on a whim, he took a few courses at a local college. A few years later, he was graduating Cardoza Law at the top of his class. For two years, Chris worked at a "white shoe" firm, where he liked the people but hated his chosen field of real estate law. For a while, he thought he might quit and focus on his side–hustle doing legal work for fighters [or boxers]. Chris did eventually decide to set out on his own and took any case he could get, mostly living off of credit cards. That's when he found personal injury and his professional calling. In this interview, Chris and I discuss the importance of boxing in his early years, the controversy surrounding his NFL concussion litigation, and how his own parenthood led to a reconnection with his estranged mother before her death.Check out our sponsors!Hennessey DigitalMilestone FoundationTrial School7 Figure CasesJoin our Better Together LinkedIn Group
Our guest today is Je Yon Jung, senior counsel at May Lightfoot. Je Yon has more than two decades of legal experience, including work in consumer protection, civil rights, discrimination, and financial services. What all of this diverse work has in common is a dedication to serving communities that have been left out or abused by the legal and justice systems.Je Yon emigrated to the United States with her family as a small child. From her earliest memories, she was certain that she wanted to be a lawyer. Though the patriarchal tradition of Korean culture left her with little support for this ambition, Je Yon's determination landed her in the Department of Justice only one year out of law school. Her work has now branched into the mass tort space with the complex and ongoing Zantac litigation.In this interview, we'll discuss how Rodney King changed the trajectory of Je Yon's career, the value of friendships, and how she came to know so much about soccer.Check out our sponsors!Hennessey DigitalMilestone FoundationTrial School7 Figure CasesJoin our Better Together LinkedIn Group
Our guest today is Cordell Carter II, a self-proclaimed “dreamer” and vivacious entrepreneur.Growing up, Cordell couldn't wait to leave his hometown in Virginia. It wasn't because he didn't love where he grew up; he simply had an innate hunger for adventure and exploration. His passion for travel was first ignited in 1985 when his uncle gave him a globe. He'd spin the globe and stop it with one finger, vowing to visit the place his finger landed on.Cordell found his voice his freshman year of high school after joining a Morman musical enclave. Since then, Cordell has been using his voice to bring people together. He's been the fuel behind the Festival of the Diaspora, a diverse and inclusive group focused on identifying and solving the most pressing issues that impact our global society. In this interview, we discuss how Cordell found his voice through music, why the western world needs a revival, and the time he talked himself out of a presidential appointment at 24 years old.Check out our sponsors!Hennessey DigitalMilestone FoundationTrial School7 Figure CasesJoin our Better Together LinkedIn Group

Instead, he wanted to run for Congress one day.In the 80s, after getting his Juris Doctorate from Harvard, Paul was working for the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee. From there, he found himself at a law firm where he was introduced to consumer class actions, which seems to be where his life trajectory shifted.Working on toxic torts and forced arbitration, Paul became an advocate for the rights of consumers, and that eventually led him to Public Justice. In today's episode, we discuss the twists and turns of Paul's career, taking a case and arguing it before the US Supreme Court, and the joy of being a father.Check out our sponsors!Hennessey DigitalMilestone FoundationTrial School7 Figure CasesJoin our Better Together LinkedIn Group
Today's guest is Michael Morse, founder of one of the nation's leading personal injury law firms. Michael grew up in a Detroit suburb, where his offices still reside today. Though his early life was disrupted by the divorce of his parents and bullying in school, Michael discovered a childhood knack for marketing and entrepreneurship before he was even a teenager,. The money he earned helped build a sense of independence and security in a world that felt uncertain.The death of his father, who had inspired him to be a lawyer, changed everything. In his journey/quest to rise above the death of his father and the subsequent loss of multiple jobs, Michael developed an attitude and a system to learn and improve himself. Today, that's what he calls becoming "Fireproof". Michael now teaches the Fireproof method to lawyers all over the nation.In this interview, we discuss the principles of Fireproof, but perhaps more importantly, the immense power of gratefulness, exercise, and delegation in overcoming life's personal and professional challenges.

Our guest today is Julia Metts, attorney with Levin, Papantonio, and Rafferty in Florida. Julia was born to a Pentecostal homemaker and a rebel atheist, and as the youngest of three children, often found herself the center of attention. From an early age, Julia exhibited a gift for persuasion. Between that and her father's early problems with the law, her path toward a career as a lawyer was clear.What Julia hadn't expected is that much of that career would be spent in prosecution. After quickly developing a name for herself, some defense lawyers wouldn't even dare face her in court.In this interview, we discuss Julia's experiences as a member of the LGBTQ+ community while attending a Baptist college, the loss of the first woman she ever loved, her biggest tips for prosecuting attorneys, and how being a parent has shaped her life. A note to listeners: Julia and I will be discussing some disturbing court cases and personal experiences involving suicide and violence against women.

Our guest today is Ali Awad, founder of the personal injury firm Ali Awad Law. Ali is a first-generation Palestinian immigrant who moved to an abandoned trailer in the Bible Belt at the age of three.Like many of our guests, Ali was entrepreneurial from a young age. He used the fierce competition between his siblings to develop a work ethic that has now created one of the fastest growing law firms in the nation.Much of that success has been due to his skillful use of social media platforms. Ali has generated a following of more than 1.5 million on Instagram alone, and his account is often used to help others learn how to do the same. In this interview, we discuss traditional Islamic marriage in the modern world, Ali's dream of building the first Muslim hospital in the US, and how he made his first million only a year after being rejected by his 100th law firm.Check out our sponsors!Hennessey DigitalMilestone FoundationTrial School7 Figure CasesJoin our Better Together LinkedIn Group
Brian Cuban is an attorney, best-selling author, and speaker. His story is one of triumph and recovery.Brian began battling body dysmorphia at a young age, a mental health disorder where an individual can't stop thinking about their perceived defects or flaws as it relates to their appearance. He struggled to feel comfortable in his own body, especially in a household where his mother often fat-shamed him. At 18-years-old, Brian began binging and purging. This eating disorder followed him into college, where he began a pattern of drinking alone. Not long after starting his freshman year, Brian developed anorexia. Brian decided to attend law school because he believed that it would allow him to continue a lifestyle he depended on. For another three years, he could continue to engage in behaviors that had become survival to him. After college, Brian moved to Dallas where he was introduced to cocaine. In his own words, Brian found the magic trick to instantly transform himself. Throughout the years, Brian received help and support from his brothers, and he started his journey of sobriety April 8, 2007 after 20 years of addiction.In today's episode, Luke and Brian talk about the impact of an emotionally abusive mother, how he felt like the best version of himself when he tried cocaine, and the defining moment when he decided to fully commit to sobriety.Check out our sponsors!Hennessey DigitalMilestone FoundationTrial School7 Figure CasesJoin our Better Together LinkedIn Group
Old school TTRPG players reminisce about the days of hardcore alignment restrictions. Not only did it provide a list of do's and don'ts, but it explained why certain characters had access to spells, items, and classes that others did not. In more recent editions of games, alignment has become more of a legacy feature that you can take or leave as you please. Today, we talk through the black, white, and large spectrums of gray present in modern-day alignment understanding. Does it serve any purpose at all? Is it a system of morality, personality, or both? And is it possible to play an "evil" character without the underlying assumption that you're a murderous psychopath? If so, what does that look like? All of this and more on this episode! We borrow heavily this week from http://www.easydamus.com/alignmentreal.html and highly recommend that you take some time to read that essay and the other articles on their site. We found them incredibly helpful. And then, yap yer fool head off on Twitter! Rate the show and leave us a review! Tell a friend!

Out of Egypt, the Israelites were rescued from slavery and then presented with a set of new rules and laws. These laws dictated all aspects of society to be governed by; a representation of God's commitment to his people. Listen as Pastor Chris Rattay explains the purpose of the Ten Commandments and the importance of following them today.
Katrina and Geoff get silly! Inspired by the legendary meme status of the D&D alignment chart, we pull fairy tale character names from a hat and decide where they fall. Is Cinderella really Lawful Good? Or could she actually be Chaotic Evil? Is Sleeping Beauty the closest thing we can get to a True Neutral princess? Some of our answers might surprise you.

The Writ Wit: A Podcast About Writing and the Creative Process
In this episode, the two Matts finish up their set about the alignment system, discuss Valentine's Day/Singles' Awareness day, try desperately not to make certain things recurring segments, and list off a bunch of characters that fit in each part of the alignment system. What characters are Lawful Good, True Neutral, Chaotic Evil, and the rest? What seemingly totally different characters exist within the same alignment? Do any of the characters change their position as their franchise goes on? Will Matt David ever accept his defeat and let "Matt Picks His Nose" be the recurring segment of the show it has always been destined to be? We discuss it all, extra-exhausted by this point due to recording these four episodes all at once, and talk about Star Wars, Marvel, Lord of the Rings, and Megazoic (if you wanna buy it, check the links below!

The Writ Wit: A Podcast About Writing and the Creative Process
In this episode, the two Matts do the second part of a four-episode series about character alignment, sell an incredible machine that replaces the Tolkien ripoffs from fantasy stories with more original elements, pick their noses in a riveting new segment of the show, and talk about writing characters from the Lawful Good to True Neutral Alignment. What's the difference in writing a Lawful Good character from Chaotic Good? What makes someone "good" and what makes them "neutral"? What words can describe the motivations of each alignment? How many listeners will come at our doors with torches and pitchforks due to not having either the "What We'll Rip Off" or "What We Have Writ" segments? We discuss it all, with distinguished professionalism that rivals the classiest businessmen, and talk about Superman, Iron Man, Robin Hood, and Noah. Have any feedback or questions for our hosts?

The Writ Wit: A Podcast About Writing and the Creative Process
In this episode, the two Matts start the conversion of the show from monthly to weekly, literally fish for ideas in a creek, make a metaphor about crossing the street that goes off the rails VERY quickly, and do the first episode of four based on the character alignment system. What do Lawful Good, Chaotic Neutral, or Neutral Evil even mean? What are the differences between the definitions? How different can characters be within a single alignment? How much of Matt David screaming in shock had to be edited out when he heard about Matt Donald reading a nonfiction history book that wasn't about dinosaurs? We discuss it all, with a jolly demeanor and a plucky attitude, and talk about Superman, Deadpool, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Ultraman again (seriously, David, watch new Japanese shows!)
