“So that day I decided I'm going to start a company. Had I known how difficult it is... I mean, but then, that naivety is essential. You've got to just take the plunge and then you'll figure it out.”Entrepreneurship is like running a marathon through a minefield, blindfolded, and our guest managed to cross the finish line with style. Born in the Congo, AJ's family faced adversity straight out of a Hollywood drama. They fled the country, lost everything, and landed in Canada with nothing but their grit. Fast-forward, AJ built a multimillion-dollar SaaS company, all while proving that persistence isn't just a virtue—it's a business model. Along the way, he learned what's truly important: adaptability, taking risks (even sweeping floors for free), and creating value by solving real-world problems. This is a story of rejection, reinvention, and relentless optimism.Alikhan "AJ" Jetha is a software visionary and cofounder of Marketcircle, a leading SaaS company providing tools like ‘Daylite' to empower small businesses with effortless customer, sales and project management. Born in the Congo and displaced as a child, AJ's entrepreneurial path has been shaped by his unique experiences, relentless determination, and passion for enabling small businesses to thrive.Learn more and connect:https://www.marketcircle.com/Expert Action Steps Believe in yourself and address doubts holding you back.

Following a question about apps for time and project management, Bernhard Kerres delves into more project management considerations. The right process comes before the tools.

Today, we're discussing an interesting and important subject that I have been ignoring for too long: eDiscovery. I had sort of willingly ignored this subject because I didn't fully understand it and didn't see it's applicability to my practice areas, but our industry has gotten to the point that we simply can't keep ignoring the needs and requirements of eDiscovery, especially given some recent changes in professional conduct rules for attorneys. To teach us more about what eDiscovery is and why being mindful of it is so critical these days, we're joined by returning guests Brett Burney and Chelsey Lambert, who teamed up create the eDiscovery Buyers Guide. These two have a lot of valuable insight, and they created an extremely helpful resource that all small firm and solo attorneys should definitely take a look at.

Allison Williams is back and she has something new to share with us: Law Firm Mentor. Allison first joined the show back in episode 125, when she discussed creating one of the most successful child abuse defense practices in New Jersey (if not the most successful). We talked about what it took to go from small firm attorney to CEO – Allison scaled her practice 846% in four years, and it is now a multi-million dollar business that only takes 5-10 hours of her week – and that transformation is exactly what her new coaching program is designed to facilitate.

Travis Luther is the creator of LawFather, an award-winning digital media agency for lawyers and law firms. They offer clients traditional digital marketing services like web design and search engine optimization, but on top of that, they create innovative mediation and trial support products like digital settlement brochures. They also created a cloud-based app called https://trialline.net/ (TrialLine), and I think this could be a real game changer for how lawyers store, collate, and present information, particularly for litigation or settlement purposes. It's a quite a breakthrough for litigation management, and I think any attorney who frequently finds themselves presenting a timeline of events in court will want to check this out.

I just saw Michael Simon and Andrew Pery present a fascinating discussion at the ABA Tech Show, and I knew it was something I had to share with all of you. Their talk focused on how attorneys can make robots work for them, and today, they're going to share how solo and small firm practitioners can use artificial intelligence and robots to grow or optimize their firms. Michael is an eDiscovery and information governance expert and the Principal (and Ronin) at Seventh Samurai. He was also an early innovator using electronic evidence in cases. Andrew is a marketing executive with a lot of experience in content management and business process automation, and he actually earned a Master's of Law before he fell into the tech world. These two are now collaborating on a number of different products, one of which you may hear about any day now...

Kimberly Bennett runs a boutique trademark and business strategy practice out of Atlanta that provides a subscription service for businesses all around the country. It is a flat fee for virtual general counsel law services, and it just might offer a glimpse at the future of professional service business models. I'd never really considered a subscription-based business model for law firms before talking to Kimberly, and it really was an eye-opening conversation for me – and I think it will be for many of you, too.

All the way back in http://thelawentrepreneur.com/ep-7 (episode 7), Lynette Whitfield discussed an incubator called Law Entrepreneurs for Action (LEAP) designed to help recent law school graduates go directly into private practice. Well, today, we're talking to a young solo attorney who got her start in one of these incubator programs: Kate DeNobile. Kate now has a thriving practice, DeNobile Law, and we talk about how the incubator process helped prepare her for running a solo practice straight out of law school, why she chose to work a side gig while her practice was getting up and running, and the technology she uses to run her practice.

She can help just about anyone get more attention from media outlets, which is an area that small firm practitioners are woefully underserved.

The email inbox can be the bane of an attorney's existence, easily stealing half of your day if you let it. But email marketing is an affordable and highly effective form of marketing for solo and small firms, so the inbox also shouldn't be ignored. However, you can save a lot of time and hassle with a good strategy and a bit of automation. Joining us today to help us conquer our inbox is Tom Tate, a marketing specialist with AWeber, creators of a suite of popular email marketing products. I use AWeber for both my law practice and my podcast, and although it's already helped me save a lot of time, I'm still just scratching the service of what the product offers. The sheer number of options in email service providers such as these can look a little daunting on the surface, but after this episode, I think you'll see that it's approachable for almost anyone.

Jessica Markham is the owner of a family law firm near me in the Maryland and D.C. area, but I actually first came across her as a result of reading an article she wrote for The Daily Record in a column called Generation J.D. The article was called “Culture eats strategy for breakfast,” and in it she argues that developing a culture in your office is the key to developing a strong practice, for both your employees and your clients – and I don't think there's a better example than what Jessica is doing in her own firm, as you'll hear in this episode.

Jeff Gamet is a TextExpander Evangelist (yep, that's his real title) from Smile, who are, as you might have guessed, the creators of TextExpander. I've been using TextExpander for a very long time, before I even became a lawyer, and it's one of the first applications I install on any new device I get. If you're not familiar, TextExpander is an application that lets you insert “snippets” of text (or graphics), removing the tedium of typing things over and over again while assuring important information is always accurate. It's perfect for form letters, email addresses, signatures, or anything else that you find yourself typing over and over again (or anything that your team will type over and over again).

Katie Floyd is one of the hosts of the https://www.relay.fm/mpu/ (Mac Power Users) podcast, which I listen to religiously (and it was actually part of the reason I started the show). She's sadly stepping down as host, but I want to celebrate and remember her tenure on Mac Power Users by sharing this conversation I had with her about transitioning from corporate lawyer to solo practitioner.
