Today's Founder Focus guest is Nick Abrahams. Nick is a Partner and Global Co-leader Digital Transformation of the law firm Norton Rose Fulbright, a global law firm with 7000 people. Nick is also a co-founder of LawPath, a legal platform with over 400,000 users. Nick is passionate about the law, however his overall journey is nothing short of amazing as you'll hear in this episode. Nick studied law in the late 80's and then began his law career in the early 90's in Sydney. Nick moved to Tokyo where he not only practiced law, he owned the Tokyo Comedy Store. This ain't no joke! We discuss how comedy fits into communication techniques. A love of film saw Nick also pursue acting which led him to become an executive with Warner Brothers Studios. Nick shares his lessons from this time, and how this dream didn't really match the reality of the role. An entrepreneur at heart, Nick joined a dot.com boom era business, learning lessons about growth and market crashes that would serve him well in his future entrepreneurial endeavors and advising entrepreneurs as a lawyer. In 2013, after seeing a gap in the market for SMEs and entrepreneurs who could not afford traditional legal support, Nick co-founded LawPath. LawPath has grown to over 400,000 happy customers and more than 10,000 5-star online reviews which is an incredible testament to getting product market fit validation early on - something Nick talks about in this episode. Nick has a deep interest in artificial intelligence, and shares where he sees this innovation taking companies. There is so much to learn from this episode, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed recording it. hello@tribeglobal.vc

On the first interview show this year Mike spoke with Dominic Woolrych, Co-founder of Lawpath Australia's number one online legal platform that has helped over 400,000 small businesses across Australia and the US. On the show we discussed Lawpath and Dom's journey, how they have scaled the business and some of the big questions business owners have to grapple with. Dom shared openly about the challenges of being a non-technical founder, how he has developed as a leader and how he manages it all. More details on Dom's bio can be found below! Dom's mission is to transform and digitalize the legal industry to make it accessible to all small businesses and show lawyers that there are many non-traditional opportunities in the legal sector. Dom is on the advisory board and an Adjunct Professor at the University of Technology and a director of the Australian Legal Technology Association (ALTA). In 2022, Dom became the finalist at SmallBiz Week Young Hero Awards in the Young Innovator category and was voted the top 20 University of Technology Alumni. As a young entrepreneur, Dom first cut his teeth as a commercial lawyer at Minster Ellison, Australia's largest law firm, where he realized that only a select handful of businesses could afford top legal advice. This experience and his subsequent work representing vulnerable people through Legal Aid gave him the insights and skills needed to disrupt and revolutionize the legal industry. Together with his co-founder Tom Willis, he witnessed how other industries moved their services online and applied this principle to the legal sector. With the automation of tasks and cutting-edge technologies (including AI), he bridged the gap and made gaining legal advice accessible to everyone, especially small businesses. Dom's vision is to continue to build his digital platform and help small businesses globally to access legal support at a fraction of the traditional system's time, cost, and complexity. Today, Lawpath is recognized as one of the top 10 legal start-ups in Australia and the top 50 globally. It is the fastest-growing online legal platform with over 400,000 small business users and has started 5 percent of all companies in Australia.

Right off the bat, today's guest made a critical business decision. To launch Australia's biggest eSports and gaming brand, he was going to go big, real big from day one. No pussy footing around. No waiting for this to happen in order for that to happen. Nope. He just went fucking big (his words, not mine) from day one. It's a game-on episode 605 of The (13 year-old, award-winning) Small Business Big Marketing podcast. A little more about Fortress Melbourne's Jon Satterley … OK, time to fess up. I know very little about the eSports and video games industry, despite it being bigger than Hollywood and the music industry combined. It's fucking huge! Yeah, I grew up with an Atari in my bedroom, and to this day I have a sit down video game machine with about 40 games on it from the 80s … from Space Invaders to Pacman to Donkey Kong and everything in between. But these days, top games are earning more than Hollywood blockbusters. Grand Theft Auto V has raked in North of $6 billion compared to James Cameron's Avatar, the highest grossing movie ever at $2.8 billion! And now there are dedicated arenas, like Toronto's Esports Arena, that seats 7,000 screaming gamers, as they watch their heroes compete for prize pools in the millions of dollars. So, to find out more about this relatively new but burgeoning entertainment industry, I contacted Jon Satterley, the co-founder of Fortress Melbourne. Fortress occupies 2,700 sq m inside Melbourne's prestigious Emporium Shopping Mall, and has to be seen to be believed with gaming rooms, an eSports arena that can seat 1,000, it's got bars, VIP booths, arcade alleys, even a room full of board games (old school!). So sit back as Jon takes us inside one of the world's biggest entertainment industries, but also explains where the idea for Fortress came from, and why he and his business partner decided to go, and I quote, fucking huge from day one.
