Should you draft Francisco Alvarez at pick 221 after injuries derailed his breakout? Is Luis Robert Jr. a league-winning steal in the Mets lineup? Joe Bond, AJ Applegarth, and Corey Pieper break down 2026 fantasy baseball sleepers at every position—value targets outside the top 150 who can smash their ADP. The guys debate late-round steals like Carter Jensen (95.4 mph exit velo tied with Aaron Judge), Andrew Vaughn after his .308 Milwaukee breakout, and Matt McLain batting second for the Reds. Plus: Max Muncy's vision correction unlocked 18 homers in half a season, Dansby Swanson's boring-but-reliable 20/15 upside at pick 148, and why Chris Bubic at pick 200+ is absurd value compared to Spencer Strider at 100. Key debates: Francisco Alvarez: Can he finally stay healthy and unlock 30-homer upside? Luis Robert Jr. vs injury concerns: 30/30 potential or bust? Matt McLain batting second: Real breakout or batting average drain? Shota Imanaga's velocity up 3 mph: Spring training noise or legit bounce-back? Plus: Joe loves Bryan Reynolds (shocking no one), AJ goes all-in on Mets players, and Corey breaks down why Carter Jensen should catch full-time over Salvy Perez.

Most PI firms are stuck in the past, hoping their traditional funnel still works. But throwing money at TV and billboards won't fix a broken foundation. In this episode, the founder & CEO of VIP Marketing and Craft Creative, Eric M. Elliott, breaks down what actually drives market dominance: budget, media, and message. Eric explains why agencies don't close cases—intake does. Why Meta ads are the fastest way to pressure-test your messaging. And why firms asking their communities for withdrawals without making deposits lose long-term market share. You'll learn: What most firms get wrong about leads—and how intake fixes it. How Meta ads let you pressure-test case types and messaging fast. Why you must replace the traditional funnel with a referral flywheel. If you like what you hear, hit Subscribe.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Brooke Lively discuss: Recognizing that law firms must master the business of law Prioritizing rocks before everything else Building culture through the right people and real accountability Understanding personal wiring and stage fit   Key Takeaways: Law school teaches legal doctrine, not leadership, systems, or execution. Firms that struggle often lack clear vision, aligned people, and real accountability. Frameworks like EOS provide structure for turning intention into consistent results. You cannot pursue every opportunity at once without diluting impact. Identifying quarterly “rocks” forces focus and determines what gets a firm's time and attention. Without clear priorities, “urgent” noise will crowd out important progress. Success depends on having the right people in the right seats and refusing to tolerate toxic high performers. Clear metrics, documented processes, and regular follow-through create traction. When accountability becomes normal, execution improves across the firm. Leaders thrive in different environments, whether scrappy growth or mature stability. Misalignment between personality and company stage can create friction and unintended chaos. Self-awareness allows both the leader and the firm to operate at their best.   "The urgent overtakes the important, and the important never gets done." —  Brooke Lively   Check out my new show, Be That Lawyer Coaches Corner, and get the strategies I use with my clients to win more business and love your career again.   Ready to go from good to GOAT in your legal marketing game?

Willkommen zur nächsten Folge von "Damit's bei dir Klick macht", dem True Online Marketing Podcast von Hanseranking! Abonniere jetzt und verpasse keine Episode! In dieser Folge geht es um einen der größten SEO-Irrtümer unserer Zeit: die Fixierung auf Keywords. Viele Websites sind technisch sauber optimiert, die Texte wirken korrekt – und trotzdem bleiben Rankings aus. Warum? Weil Google längst nicht mehr Wörter zählt, sondern Bedeutung versteht. Suchmaschinen bewerten heute Zusammenhänge, Themenverständnis und inhaltliche Tiefe. Wer weiterhin auf Keyword-Dichte setzt, optimiert nicht mehr für Google, sondern für ein System aus der Vergangenheit. Ich erkläre dir, warum SEO heute weniger mit Formeln zu tun hat – und viel mehr mit echter inhaltlicher Relevanz. Bleib außerdem dran für kommende Folgen, in der ich dir tiefere Einblicke in spezifische Online Marketing Strategien und Interviews mit weiteren Experten gebe.

Most personal injury firms don't collapse because of bad marketing. They collapse under their own weight. As your team grows, every new initiative gets harder to launch. Communication slows down. Silos form. Bureaucracy creeps in. So how do you scale to nearly 300 employees without becoming impossible to steer? David Chamberlin, VP of Marketing and Operations at The Law Offices of James Scott Farrin, shares how he keeps a massive firm moving like a startup—by turning reviews into a growth engine, engineering intake like a sales floor, and applying Lean principles to eliminate waste before it spreads. You'll learn: Why David treats reviews as a critical growth lever—not an afterthought. What a 20-person intake team with dedicated attorneys does to convert higher-value cases. How the intake team aggressively pursues unresponsive leads across phone, text, and email. How Lean reviews every department annually to eliminate waste and silos.

In dieser Episode teile ich mit dir nicht nur eine wunderbare Nachricht: Unser Podcast wurde von millionpodcast.com weltweit unter die Top 100 Bildungs-Podcasts für Erwachsene gewählt – zeitweise standen wir sogar auf Platz 25. Das freut mich sehr, denn wir machen diesen Podcast nicht für Rankings, sondern um wertvolles Wissen weiterzugeben. Im Mittelpunkt dieser Folge steht mein aktuelles Herzensprojekt: die Zukunftspaten-Ausbildung. Ich habe in den letzten Monaten intensiv daran gearbeitet, weil ich überzeugt bin, dass besonders Menschen am Ende ihrer Berufslaufbahn oder im Ruhestand eine unglaublich wichtige Rolle in unserer Gesellschaft spielen können. Viele fragen sich: Was passiert eigentlich mit meinem Gehirn, wenn ich nicht mehr arbeite? Wie bleibe ich geistig fit? Und wie kann ich meine Erfahrung sinnvoll weitergeben? Ich erkläre dir, warum unser Gehirn aktiv bleiben will – und wie es neue Nervenverbindungen aufbaut, wenn wir es regelmäßig fordern. Wer aufhört zu lernen, sendet dem Gehirn das Signal: „Du wirst nicht mehr gebraucht.“ Wer hingegen neugierig bleibt, Neues ausprobiert – sei es Klavierspielen, Gedächtnistraining oder neue Lernmethoden – hält sein Denken lebendig. In dieser Folge spreche ich unter anderem darüber: wie das Gehirn wirklich lernt warum Energie- und Zeitmanagement so wichtig sind was Wissens-, Vergessens- und Könnenskurven bedeuten welche Gedächtnistechniken ich empfehle (z. B. Körperliste oder die Almut-Methode) wie Visualisierung und Mindmaps Lernen erleichtern welche Lernspiele Konzentration und Verständnis fördern wie Kinder Mathematik mit anschaulichen Methoden wie „Enten und Küken“ begreifen wie mein „Neuronales Ablagesystem“ (NIS) – bekannt aus „Lauras Lernhotel“ – Wissen dauerhaft speichert und wie daraus ein ganzheitliches Lernsystem entsteht, das sogar Prüfungsängste reduziert Mir geht es nicht nur um einzelne Methoden. Ich möchte zeigen, wie man ein komplettes Lernsystem aufbaut – eines, das Kindern und Jugendlichen wirklich hilft und gleichzeitig Erwachsene geistig fit hält. Vielleicht kennst du jemanden, für den das Thema Zukunftspate genau richtig wäre. Oder vielleicht bist du selbst bereit, dein Wissen weiterzugeben und dein eigenes Gehirn weiter zum Leuchten zu bringen. Ich lade dich herzlich ein, diesen Weg mit mir zu gehen. Dein Jens ✨

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Sarah Persich discuss: Investing time instead of just spending it Fixing systems before layering on automation Building a connected tech stack that talks to itself Using AI strategically while managing risk   Key Takeaways: High-performing firms focus on building systems that multiply their time rather than endlessly grinding through tasks. Automation, documented workflows, and thoughtful process design “buy back” hours every week. The goal is long-term leverage, not short-term busyness. Most lawyers do not have an automation problem first; they have a clarity problem around roles, processes, and workflows. Undefined responsibilities and undocumented systems cause time leaks long before software can solve anything. Strong foundations make automation effective instead of chaotic. A solid CRM, practice management system, and an integration layer like Zapier allow firms to eliminate repetitive manual work. Open APIs and thoughtful integrations turn scattered tools into a coordinated system. When payments, contracts, intake, and follow-ups connect seamlessly, administrative drag disappears. AI becomes powerful when prompts are specific, voice is clearly defined, and systems are documented with tools like Loom and structured SOPs. Custom prompts or GPT setups help maintain brand consistency and save substantial time on drafting and research. At the same time, firms must weigh confidentiality, compliance, and ethical considerations before deploying AI at scale.   "I still stayed in my comfort zone for a little while, and I finally allowed myself to accept being uncomfortable… the big mistake was not going out on my own sooner, and staying in that safety zone and accepting the uncomfortability. And it's been really, really great ever since." —  Sarah Persich   Check out my new show, Be That Lawyer Coaches Corner, and get the strategies I use with my clients to win more business and love your career again.   Ready to go from good to GOAT in your legal marketing game?

She grew into the integrator role, serving as the operational second-in-command responsible for systems, technology, and process design. Her hands-on experience managing IT, workflows, and firm infrastructure gave her a front-row seat to the inefficiencies that quietly drain time and profitability from growing practices. Over time, she transitioned from internal operations leadership into marketing and automation strategy, helping firms move beyond reactive task management and toward intentional system design. Today, Sarah works with law firms to implement CRMs, streamline practice management systems, build automations, and document scalable processes. She helps attorneys distinguish between high-value strategic work and repetitive administrative tasks, enabling them to reclaim time, improve client experience, and build firms that operate with clarity instead of chaos.   Connect with Sarah Persich:  Website: https://www.automationlady.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarahpersich/   Connect with Steve Fretzin: LinkedIn: Steve Fretzin Twitter: @stevefretzin Instagram: @fretzinsteve Facebook: Fretzin, Inc.

Are you about to draft Cal Raleigh in the second round? Paying up for Bryce Turang after his breakout? Joe Bond, AJ Applegarth, and Corey Pieper break down the 2026 fantasy baseball players whose draft cost doesn't match their projected production—from catchers to starting pitchers. The guys debate what "bust" actually means (spoiler: it's about draft cost, not total disaster), then rip through position-by-position overvalued players. Cal Raleigh after 60 homers? Will Smith with 150 fewer at-bats than other catchers? Josh Naylor after somehow stealing 30 bases with bottom-3% sprint speed? Colson Montgomery's 44% hard-hit rate that screams regression? O'Neal Cruz hitting .102 against lefties? Heated moments: Joe and Corey clash on Geraldo Perdomo (Joe's out, Corey's in at the cost) Spencer Strider going at pick 100 after two awful seasons? All three are out The George Springer debate: 32 homers at age 37—fluke or repeatable? O'Neal Cruz: "Quite possibly one of the worst hitters in baseball" (Joe's words) Plus: Why Ozzie Albies' flip-flop injury pattern is a problem, Trevor Story's strikeout rate concerns, and Jacob deGrom's name-value trap at 38 years old.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Evelyn Ackah discuss:Reframing challenges as opportunitiesBuilding security through owning your book of businessDesigning a firm around delegation and technologyProtecting culture by hiring and leading with intention Key Takeaways:Success begins with asking whether challenges are happening to you or for you. A growth-oriented mindset is not optional for entrepreneurs and rainmakers. Those who thrive train themselves to see obstacles as openings, not endings.Relying solely on servicing others' clients limits mobility and control. Developing your own clients creates long-term security and professional freedom. Rainmaking is a learnable skill built through systems, discipline, and study.High-value leaders focus only on work they alone can do. Everything else can be delegated, automated, or systemized through tools and virtual teams. Intentional tech stacks and strong delegation enable autonomy, even four-day workweeks.Skills can be trained, but values and attitude determine long-term fit. Toxic hires damage momentum and must be addressed quickly. Great leaders invest in coaches, mentors, and team development to sustain growth. "Your staff are your dream builders. They help you create your dream. And so you want to invest in them just as much as they're investing in your success." — Evelyn Ackah Check out my new show, Be That Lawyer Coaches Corner, and get the strategies I use with my clients to win more business and love your career again. Ready to go from good to GOAT in your legal marketing game?

Should you draft Roman Anthony with your ace already locked in? Is Eury Perez too early in Round 4? Why did zero prospects go in the first 30 picks? David Whitcomb, Rich Sayre, and Scott Shields draft live through the first five rounds of a 2026 dynasty startup—and they don't always agree.The guys debate dynasty strategy in real time: Chase Burns vs Jake Miserowski, whether Kyle Tucker gets a real bump in LA, and why Scott picked Garrett Crochet years ago when everyone told him to cut bait. Plus: the "defense keeps you on the field" philosophy that drove picks like Fernando Tatis Jr. and Julio Rodriguez, why rotisserie leagues are "dumb" (David's words), and the surprisingly old player who topped the draft at age 34 (Mookie Betts).Hot takes:David: "Dynasty is a three-year window—anything beyond that is a fool's errand."The group: Almost no prospects in 60 picks, and here's whyScott on Contreras: "Two catchers went off the board and neither was Willson Contreras?!"Rankings and cheat sheets at fantasysixpack.net/plans (Code: F6PPODS saves 15%)

James Tawney didn't grow by trying to be everything to everyone. He picked one kind of case, learned it better than anyone around him, and built his entire career around it. While other firms send calls to answering services, James still has lawyers take those calls—sometimes in the middle of the night—because he believes the first conversation decides the case.  In this episode, he walks through how focus, hands-on intake, and a strong local identity helped him attract the biggest trucking cases in the Southwest. You'll learn: Why James decided to take only trucking injury cases. What really happens when a lawyer answers the phone instead of a call center. How his firm cracked the case in a $30 million truck accident. If you like what you hear, hit Subscribe. We do this every week. Buy tickets for PIMCON 2026: pimcon.org Get Social!

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Ted DeBettencourt discuss:Making prospects feel heard before they hireFixing intake as the real growth leverOptimizing website conversion channelsAdopting a builder's mindset in business development Key Takeaways:Emotional needs matter as much as legal expertise when someone is choosing a lawyer. If prospects do not feel listened to or cared for, they continue shopping. Human connection is often the deciding factor in a crowded legal marketplace.Many firms invest heavily in marketing but lose revenue at the intake stage. Speed of response determines success, as delays of even 24 hours can cost the case. Clear criteria for qualified leads protect attorney time and improve conversion rates.Law firm websites must make contact effortless through visible phone numbers, live chat, text, and forms. Human-powered chat and SMS are increasingly driving higher engagement and signed cases. Firms that reduce friction in communication dramatically improve conversion outcomes.Opportunities rarely arrive on their own, even with strong credentials. Growth begins when professionals stop waiting and start creating value. Taking initiative and solving real problems can open entirely new career paths. "Running a law firm 101: don't answer your own phone, because you're never getting any work done." — Ted DeBettencourt Check out my new show, Be That Lawyer Coaches Corner, and get the strategies I use with my clients to win more business and love your career again. Ready to go from good to GOAT in your legal marketing game?

What is the difference between direct and indirect competitors?Direct competitors are businesses that offer the same products or services within your niche or market. They target the same customer base and operate in similar ways. For example, if you sell red roses, other florists selling red roses are your direct competitors.Indirect competitors are businesses that offer different products or services but satisfy the same customer need or compete for the same market share. Using the flower example, supermarkets and farmer's markets selling flowers would be indirect competitors to a specialized florist.2. How do I find out who my competitors are?Favour recommends using several competitive analysis tools:SimilarWeb: For website traffic and audience insightsSocialBlade: For social media analytics and competitor trackingSparkToro: For audience intelligence and content discoveryYou can also identify competitors by searching for your target keywords on Google and seeing which businesses rank for those terms. Consider both national, international, local, and regional competitors depending on your market scope.3. Should I focus on Google or Instagram for my business?According to Favour, Google is the most unsaturated platform because it's based on search intent—people actively looking for specific solutions. Instagram is a feed-based platform better suited for brand awareness and showcasing visual results (before/after transformations, product demonstrations).Best approach: Use both strategically. Google captures pre-purchase intent (people researching solutions), while Instagram provides post-purchase validation and builds brand awareness. Having a website connected to your Instagram profile adds credibility and improves your off-page SEO.4. What's more important: ranking or performance?Favour emphasizes that performance is more important than ranking. Rankings fluctuate constantly (like stock prices or gas prices), but performance focuses on long-term outcomes:How quickly can you serve customers?What value do you provide beyond just appearing in search results?Can customers find your information when they need it?Anyone can rank with AI-generated content today, but what makes your business different is the experience, speed, and value you deliver to customers.5. How do I approach SEO if I have no competition in my field?When you're in a niche market with little to no competition, Favour suggests:Reverse engineer your success: If you're getting traction on Instagram, create corresponding website content (10 Instagram posts = 10 website articles)Focus on search volume: Research if there's search demand on Google for your servicesBuild credibility: Having a website validates your business more than social media aloneCreate content ecosystems: Connect your social media to your website through embedding posts and cross-linking6. Why is having a website important if I already have Instagram?A website provides business validation and credibility. As Favour's example illustrated: if three businesses offer the same service but only one has a website, customers will trust the one with a website because it demonstrates investment in human resources, infrastructure, and long-term commitment.Additionally, a website enables off-page SEO—when your Instagram links to your website, you're building relationship models between platforms that improve your overall search visibility.7. What is pre-purchase vs. post-purchase intent?Pre-purchase intent: Customers researching before buying (e.g., reading Amazon reviews, comparing products on Google)Post-purchase intent: Customers who already bought and need guidance (e.g., watching YouTube tutorials on how to use an air fryer they purchased)Understanding this distinction helps you create appropriate content for each stage of the customer journey. Google and review sites capture pre-purchase intent, while platforms like YouTube and Instagram serve post-purchase needs.8. Should I run ads if people can't find my business organically?Favour advises: Don't run ads first if people can't find you organically. If the answer to "Will they find my business without ads?" is no, then focus on building organic visibility first through SEO and content creation.If people can already find you organically, then running ads becomes more cost-effective because you're amplifying existing brand awareness rather than starting from zero.9. What are applied SEO marketing tactics?Applied SEO refers to search everywhere optimization—not just optimizing for Google, but creating a comprehensive presence across all platforms where customers might search:Google searchInstagram searchYouTube searchSocial media platformsReview sitesLocal directoriesIt's about understanding customer behavior across multiple touchpoints and ensuring your business is discoverable wherever customers are looking.Additional Resources MentionedSimilarWeb: Competitive website analyticsSocialBlade: Social media statistics and trackingSparkToro: Audience research and insightsChatGPT: AI content generation tool (mentioned in context of ranking vs. performance)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Austin Hunt from Legal Guardian Digital helps law firms win visibility in search, and he believes the rules have already changed. Firms that still think SEO ends with Google rankings miss where cases increasingly originate: AI tools that summarize, recommend, and decide which firms people see. In this episode, Austin explains how AI systems like ChatGPT and Google Overviews decide which law firms appear, why the same signals still drive both SEO and AI visibility, and what PI firms need to change now to avoid disappearing from search altogether. You'll learn: How AI decides which law firms it recommends. Why content structure matters more than length. How directories and reviews influence AI visibility. What firms should fix now before competitors adapt. If you like what you hear, hit Subscribe. We do this every week. Buy tickets for PIMCON 2026: pimcon.org Get Social!

https://teachhoops.com/ The debate over youth player rankings in the AAU circuit is one of the most polarizing topics in modern basketball development. On one hand, proponents argue that rankings provide exposure and a competitive benchmark, helping talented athletes get on the radar of college recruiters earlier than ever before. For a player in a rural area or a non-traditional basketball market, a high ranking from a reputable scouting service can be the "digital resume" that opens doors to elite camps and scholarship opportunities. However, the "Helpful" side of the ledger often ignores the reality that early physical maturity is frequently mistaken for long-term elite potential, leading to a "false positive" ranking for a player who has simply hit their growth spurt sooner than their peers. The "Harmful" perspective focuses on the psychological and developmental "Rot" that occurs when 12- and 13-year-olds are labeled as "elite" before they've even entered high school. Rankings often incentivize "stat-padding" and individualistic play over the development of "Basketball IQ" and fundamental team concepts. When a young player is more concerned with their "National Top 100" status than winning a game or making the "extra pass," the foundational "Culture of the Game" begins to erode. Furthermore, being ranked early can lead to a "fixed mindset"—a belief that they have already "made it"—which often results in a plateau in work ethic during the critical developmental years of 14 to 17. Ultimately, the impact of rankings depends heavily on the parental and coaching ecosystem surrounding the athlete. If a ranking is treated as a "Starting Line" rather than a "Finish Line," it can be a tool for motivation. However, in the high-pressure environment of "shoe-circuit" AAU tournaments, rankings often serve as a distraction from true skill acquisition. Use your TeachHoops member calls to discuss how to navigate these "Ranking Waters" with your players and parents. By shifting the focus back to "Process over Praise," you can ensure that your athletes stay grounded, hungry, and focused on the only ranking that truly matters: their progress compared to the player they were yesterday.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Colleen Breems discuss:Letting a niche form over timeEarning trust through depth and preparationUsing competence as the foundation of marketingPositioning intentionally with the right relationships Key Takeaways:Niching down is a gradual process shaped by consistency, passion, and earned trust. Being focused does not require rejecting all other work, only clarifying what you are known for. A clear niche strengthens credibility and often opens doors to adjacent opportunities.Strong niches are built by mastering statutes, procedures, and expectations within a specific role. Every case should be treated as reputation-defining, regardless of size or visibility. Reliability, preparedness, and professionalism compound into long-term trust.Visibility is effective only when it reflects genuine skill and consistent performance. Writing, speaking, and sharing expertise help decision makers remember you for a specific strength. Marketing should amplify substance, not replace it.Focused networking outperforms broad, unfocused relationship building. Clear positioning makes it easier for others to understand, remember, and refer to you. Niching is strongest when aligned with real demand and access to decision makers. "Don't wait until you're ready… Letting fear or doubt stop you from going after a niche is really the biggest roadblock." —  Colleen Breems Check out my new show, Be That Lawyer Coaches Corner, and get the strategies I use with my clients to win more business and love your career again. Ready to go from good to GOAT in your legal marketing game?

Meredith Moore noticed a pattern in her firm's DWI accident cases: The facts showed more than a routine auto claim, but the outcomes didn't reflect that. She went back through those files, pushed for policy limits, and treated them as cases involving recklessness and heightened liability rather than simple negligence. In this episode, Meredith walks through how her firm reworked underperforming case categories by refining intake criteria, assigning litigation-ready lawyers early, and challenging low valuations head-on. You'll learn: Why firms undervalue DWI and reckless-driving cases when they treat them like routine auto claims. How intake teams hear sexual assault and abuse cases as criminal matters before recognizing civil liability. Why filing suit and demanding insurance companies pay their full policy limits early changes how insurers respond. If you like what you hear, hit Subscribe. We do this every week.

The tool matters less than the habit of capturing thoughts before they disappear.Starting with the task you least want to do lowers anxiety for the rest of the day. Avoidance only prolongs stress, whether with paperwork or difficult phone calls. Momentum is built by confronting discomfort early, not managing it away.Referrals grow out of trust earned through service, generosity, and long-term presence. Bar involvement and community leadership create credibility that no marketing tactic can replace. Strong reputations are built quietly and often pay dividends years later.Integrity functions as a filter for clients, colleagues, and career decisions. Fairness and honesty build trust even with opponents and judges. The same clarity guides how to retire, whom to trust, and how to leave a legacy. "Your reputation is everything, and it's hard to build, and it's easy to destroy." — Tom Conner Check out my new show, Be That Lawyer Coaches Corner, and get the strategies I use with my clients to win more business and love your career again. Ready to go from good to GOAT in your legal marketing game?

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Jennifer Gillman discuss:Building rainmaking as a sustainable, early-career practiceShifting mindset to overcome fear and unlock visibilityUsing small, consistent actions to compound business developmentGaining autonomy by moving from service partner to rainmaker Key Takeaways:Becoming a happy rainmaker is not a late-career scramble but a long game that should begin as early as law school or the first years of practice. By consistently maintaining relationships with classmates and peers, lawyers build familiarity and trust over time. This approach replaces transactional job-seeking with organic, referral-based growth.A core barrier to business development is the fear of judgment, captured by the reminder that what other people think of you is none of your business. This mindset shift frees lawyers to show up on LinkedIn, speak publicly, and introduce themselves without self-consciousness. Confidence grows through action rather than perfection.Rainmaking does not require massive time blocks but thrives on small, intentional habits repeated consistently. Even 15 to 20 minutes a week spent nurturing relationships or learning LinkedIn and AI tools can create long-term leverage. Like compound interest, steady effort builds momentum and results.Rainmakers gain control over clients, schedules, and priorities, while service partners remain dependent on others for work and timing. Building a book of business early reframes BD as an investment in future autonomy rather than an added burden. This shift creates greater flexibility and career control. "If you can develop one dollar of business, you can develop a million dollars or ten million." —  Jennifer Gillman Check out my new show, Be That Lawyer Coaches Corner, and get the strategies I use with my clients to win more business and love your career again. Ready to go from good to GOAT in your legal marketing game?

David Ellis doesn't talk about AI as a future concept. He talks about it as someone who builds AI agents that call leads within seconds, follow up 30–40 times without stopping, and sign cases your team already marked as dead. In this episode, David explains how he employs AI inside intake today—handling calls, texts, follow-ups, and contracts while staying fully integrated with firm systems. You'll learn: Why many “dead” leads were simply never worked long enough How AI schedules calls, adapts timing, and increases contact rates What intake looks like when you measure speed-to-lead in seconds If you like what you hear, hit Subscribe.

Yale. No scholarship. No NFL path.Everyone told him to be “realistic.”“Know your place.”“Be grateful.”He didn't listen.Because Mendoza understood something most people miss:The worst outcome isn't failing.It's never getting the chance to try.Two weeks before signing day in 2022, his phone rang.Cal needed a body.

Out of 134 schools.He took it.He arrived as the third-string quarterback.Spent a year on the scout team.Lost his first four starts.Got sacked 41 times behind a broken offensive line.Still got up. Every time.Then Cal brought in a transfer instead of building around him.So Mendoza left the only school that had ever said yes.He transferred to Indiana—the losingest program in college football history.People laughed.“Career suicide.”“Graveyard program.”“Nobody wins there.”One coach told him something different:“I'm going to make you the best Fernando Mendoza possible.”That was enough.Mendoza wasn't just playing for football.His mother has battled multiple sclerosis for 18 years.Before every snap, he thought of her.“My mother is my why.”Indiana went 16–0.Beat six Top-10 teams.Won their first Big Ten title since 1945.Mendoza threw 41 touchdowns.Won the Heisman—first in school history.First Cuban-American to ever do it.Then came the title game.Miami.

When a call hits Rob Levine's firm, it's instantly scrubbed against the CRM, classified as a lead, vendor, or existing client, and routed to the right person based on case type and closing performance. Nothing is random. And nothing touches intake unless it's worth closing. In this episode, Rob breaks down how his firm handles massive lead volume without leaks by using performance-based routing, real-time system logic, and a first-call-close mentality that treats intake like sales, not reception. You'll learn: Why Rob refuses to route calls evenly—and how reps are ranked instead. How he automatically separates new leads, vendors, and existing clients. Why you should never put intake calls on hold. If you like what you hear, hit Subscribe. We do this every week. Buy tickets for PIMCON 2026: pimcon.org Get Social!

Most firms chase growth by buying more ads. Chris Keller took the opposite path.

The result: 600 signed cases a month across six states without losing control of quality, culture, or profitability. You'll learn: Why fixing intake and operations before increasing demand prevents chaos at scale How data visibility changes decision-making from gut instinct to repeatable execution Why staffing weekends and verification teams reduces falloff more than more leads How leadership growth becomes the real bottleneck once firms pass early traction If you like what you hear, hit subscribe.
