Episode Summary In this episode of the Scalable Law Podcast, I'm joined by my good friend and past Accelerator member, Kristen Porter. Kristen is the founder of Oh No Legal, a law firm that grew nationally during the COVID years, and more recently, she launched Zenovate Marketing, a digital marketing agency built specifically to help law firm owners grow. Kristen shares her journey of starting her firm out of necessity, why she chose to niche down into the real estate industry, and how that decision not only made her practice easier to run but also made her marketing more powerful. We also talk about the frustrations law firm owners face when outsourcing marketing, and why she created Zenovate to be a trusted solution that understands the legal profession. If you want to hear how niching, list building, and smart digital strategies can change the game for your firm, you'll love this conversation. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why Kristen decided to start her own law firm and how it grew quickly through digital marketing How list building, webinars, and lead magnets transformed her pipeline without relying on referrals Why niching made her law practice easier to run and more profitable How different client personalities within one niche call for different service models What led Kristen to launch Zenovate Marketing and why law firms need marketing support that actually understands the profession The importance of deep brand positioning and copywriting for law firm growth and freedom Quotes from the Episode “Our law firm growth is totally dependent on our digital marketing. For a long time, we didn't even use paid ads, we built everything through organic list building and partnerships.” “Nicheing makes everything easier. Your practice becomes smoother, your marketing clearer, and other professionals see you as the expert.” “Copy is what converts.

Entrepreneurship isn't always about grinding 24/7—and Alex Schlinsky is here to prove it. In this episode of BizNinja Entrepreneur Radio, Tyler Jorgenson sits down with Alex, the founder of Prospecting on Demand, a sales coach, author, and proud heart surgery survivor. Alex shares how his childhood in an entrepreneurial family shaped his belief in hard work, resilience, and creating a life outside of the traditional “employee box.”From his early days hustling as a social media marketer before Facebook ads even existed, to cold-calling his way into becoming a certified Miami Dolphins media member, Alex reveals how persistence and boldness defined his start. But he also opens up about the wake-up call that changed everything: open-heart surgery at just 29, when his wife was five months pregnant. That health crisis inspired his book, The Anti-Hustler's Handbook, and a mission to help agency owners build businesses without sacrificing their lives.You'll hear Alex drop powerful mindset gems—including why most entrepreneurs chase “more” without ever defining success, the mantras he uses to beat negative self-talk, and his legendary “Secret Weapon Question” for closing sales. Whether you're stuck in hustle culture, struggling to scale, or just need a reminder to give yourself grace, this episode is packed with real talk, laughs, and game-changing takeaways.TakeawaysDefine Success on Your Terms: Don't let society or influencers dictate what “winning” looks like. Get clear about what YOU actually want.The Anti-Hustle Mindset: Hard work matters, but blind hustle is a trap. Build a business that supports the life you love, not the other way around.The Secret Weapon Question: In sales, pull out the real buying criteria from your prospects. Go deeper than “I want results” to create trust and close deals.Give Yourself Grace (Not a Pass): You'll stumble—everyone does. Learn from it, but stop punishing yourself for being human.Community Over Isolation: Entrepreneurship doesn't have to be lonely. Build or join a supportive network to stay inspired and grounded.Chapters00:00 Welcome & Guest Intro – Alex Schlinsky01:20 Growing Up in an Entrepreneurial Family02:50 First Steps into Entrepreneurship05:15 Hustling His Way into the Miami Dolphins Media Team08:30 The Wake-Up Call: Open-Heart Surgery at 2910:45 Writing The Anti-Hustler's Handbook14:50 Breaking Free from Hustle Culture16:30 Mantras & Mindset Shifts That Work18:50 Giving Yourself Grace (But Not a Pass)19:45 Building Community with Prospecting on Demand23:20 Sales Psychology & The Secret Weapon Question27:40 Sales Example: “I Just Want a Treat”28:10 Beyond Business: Life, Balance & Bucket Lists29:08 Where to Find Alex Online & Closing
Stop chasing “one big marketing trick.” If SEO is the only lever you're pulling, you're leaving money on the table—and patients on page two. In this episode, we break down how premium practices win with a whole-practice approach: brand, systems, and a memorable new-patient experience that starts before the first visit. In this episode, I talk with Jackie Ulasewicz-Cullen about moving beyond “rank-at-all-costs” thinking to a comprehensive, measurable growth system. We break down why there's no silver bullet in dental marketing and how an omnichannel mix—reviews, humanized social, targeted Google Ads with single-focus landing pages, and a conversion-ready website—works together. We zoom in on the new-patient experience: rapid responses, pre-visit doctor touchpoints, clear expectations, and thoughtful follow-ups that turn inquiries into trust and treatment. We also spotlight the most neglected profit center in dentistry—retention—and the metrics that reveal whether you're quietly shrinking or sustainably growing. Here's what we talked about in this episode: No silver bullet: SEO is a channel, not a strategy; build a portfolio of levers. Compete smart: In dense markets, SEO is long-term—pair it with Google Ads → single-focus landing pages to capture demand now. Speed-to-lead wins: Reply to forms/chats within minutes; slow responses kill conversion. Doctor touch = trust: A brief pre-visit call/text from the dentist lifts show rate and acceptance. Reviews with heart: Automate requests; dentist closes the loop on negatives—solve first, never ask for removal. Human social > generic posts: Short, educational team videos build connection and assist conversion. Retention is revenue: Track lost/inactive vs new, run reactivation, and educate existing patients on services (“Did you know we offer…?”). Measure what matters: Time-to-response, show rate, case acceptance, production per lead, and churn—not just clicks or calls. — Key Takeaways 00:47 Introduction and Event Announcement 02:10 Meet Jackie Cullen: A Marketing Expert 04:00 Understanding Comprehensive Marketing Strategies 05:30 Misconceptions in Dental Marketing 08:00 SEO in Competitive Markets 11:33 Omnichannel Marketing Approach 14:00 Enhancing the New Patient Experience 17:14 The Importance of Human Connection 19:34 Retention, Relationships, and Reputation 22:35 The Value of Patient Retention 25:50 Social Media and Advertising Strategies 29:50 Building Trust with Marketing Agencies 32:17 The Importance of Agency Involvement 34:15 Lightning Round Q&A 37:55 Conclusion and Resources — Connect with Jackie You can connect with Jackie Ulasewicz-Cullen and her agency through: Website: mydentalagency.com — click the “Schedule a Call” button right on the homepage.

Affirmations always felt forced for me. No matter how many times I repeated them, they didn't change my thoughts in the moment. Instead, I use something I call a real-time reframe. It's a way of catching myself mid-spiral, labeling the lies my brain tells me, and choosing thoughts that feel supportive instead of fake. In this episode, I walk you through exactly how I do it and why it's been a game changer in building self-trust.

I'm usually the kind of person who moves fast once I get the green light - launching things overnight, diving in headfirst, figuring it out on the way down. But this past year has taught me the power of choosing not to act on impulse, even when I want to. In this episode, we're talking about the slow burn: not just waiting for results, but choosing intentional timing. I'll share how I've had to plan months ahead for my rebrand, sit with the decision to leave my job, and learn when to trust my gut vs when to trust the process. If you've ever wondered when it's time to leap and when it's time to let something simmer, this one's for you.

If you're wondering what it looks like to have that essential right-hand person or you've been playing it safe in your own life, this raw, behind-the-scenes look at our relationship will show you exactly what's possible when you're willing to grow.
