There have been some tough things personally happening in the background. I always hate when people share things like this and don't say what, but that they will share lately. Sitting firmly in that seat, I now understand why they say that. My apologies for adding to that noise. I promise is not a trend or a marketing ploy. Anyway, this tough season has prompted a project for me that has been years in the making. I think it's lived rent-free in my brain and was waiting for the time to be released. That time is quickly approaching and it's time to share a bit about what that is. I'm writing a book. That seems so scary to say out loud because it means I have to do it…but previous to the release of the book, I'm writing on Substack about this process and how I got here.I have a passion for small business owners. The ones starting their business from a scary idea and taking the brave leap into action. The ones that grind it out at the kitchen table. Maybe they have little kids and are working during naptime. Maybe they are retired and wonder if they've always needed to leap into this venture. Regardless, the business starts and grows. Then there's this question of hiring, getting help, and not letting the business eat you alive. The spark that ignited the idea slowly feels crushing and worries about what if start to creep in. You want to hire but you don't know how. You want to take a vacation but honestly, can't step away from the computer for more than 12 hours. And if we're being frank, what if tragedy strikes and you need to step away to be present for that, and you're left with the question to let it all come crashing to the ground or keep working through pain. I believe there is another way. An emergency preparedness plan for your business that allows you to build something you can step away from for a season. That's what I'm writing about on Substack and the book. The story of how I built my company to be able to step away. Giving you the stories, tools, and leadership ideas I've held so closely but haven't shared. If you're a business owner who is looking for a path to build an emergency plan for your business that also allows you to take a vacation, I'd for you to follow along. https://substack.com/@kateahl —-------Here are some helpful links from the podcast:

How do you turn all of that into real, recurring income — without risking the paycheck that keeps the lights on? In this episode of Business Conversations with Pi and Piette 2.0, PI and Piette answer a listener's layered, real-world question from tuepodcast.net/askpi: how to monetize coaching calls, a side app, and teaching experience into a low-risk paid offer without jeopardizing a current job.

As we move into mid-career and the halftime of life, many of the routines that once shaped our days begin to change. The demands of raising a family lessen, careers evolve or completely change, and new opportunities—and responsibilities—emerge. Instead of having every hour spoken for, we suddenly have more choices about how to spend our time. That freedom is a tremendous gift, but it also requires intentionality.

As building gets easier and almost anyone can ship an app in an afternoon, what actually separates a product leader who creates leverage from one who doesn't?In this special live episode of Supra Insider, recorded on stage at the Toronto Product Conference, Marc Baselga sits down with Colin Matthews, Head of Education for Lenny's Newsletter and a former founder, PM, and longtime hobbyist builder. Marc lays out a thesis that the best way to prepare for the AI era is to build a real side project, one with actual users and ideally revenue, and Colin pressure-tests it with the framework he uses himself: start with distribution, then work backward to the customers and problems you can reach.They explore the blurring lines between product, engineering, and design, why the code review bar stays the same no matter who writes the code, when to ship a PR versus a prototype versus a spec, why Colin uses AI for comprehension rather than raw velocity, and the two distribution paths he has actually seen work for solo builders.If you're a PM wondering which skills matter most next, a product leader trying to get your team building, or anyone who keeps starting side projects that never find users, this episode is for you.Huge thanks to Balaji Gopalan, Andrew Williams, and the team at The Toronto Product Conference for hosting us.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

It's no secret we love lambics. When we found that 3F did two collaborations with two of our favorite American brewers, we had to try them. This might come as a shock, but we loved them. First we tried the Side Project Panache. This is a 6% lambic blend of Fermier 2024 with a 2020 Oude Lambik. The result is a funky, tart delicious treat. Next is De Garde Meer & More. It comes in at 9% ABV and blends a spontaneous wild ale with a lambic blend with Mourvedre grapes. Then it's aged on oak barrels for 2 to 7 years. If you can get your hands on this one, you're in for something special. We hope 3F does more of these collaboration in the future if they stay this amazing. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #lambic #saison #wildale

After building a career in enterprise risk management and rising to senior leadership in banking, Kenzel Fallen '12 and her husband Tio turned a shared passion for specialty coffee into Three Keys Coffee — a roastery and cafe focused on sustainability, creativity and music. What started as a side project during COVID has since landed on the shelves of Trader Joe's and been named Food & Wine's “Best Coffee Roaster in Texas.”As CEO of Three Keys Coffee, Kenzel is combining her Rice MBA training with her risk management mindset to navigate the daily challenges of owning a rapidly growing business. On this episode, she joins co-host Brian Jackson '21 to chat about the inception of Three Keys Coffee, why entrepreneurship was a surprising path for her, and how Rice Business provided the right launchpad.Episode Guide:00:00 Meet Kenzel Fallen01:02 How Love Brought Her to Rice Business05:27 From Risk to Coffee Entrepreneurship09:13 Shopping Your Values12:00 Working as a Couple14:59 COVID Launch and Growth18:08 Sourcing and Supply Chain21:35 Jazz Brand Inspiration25:03 Awards and Recognition30:41 Coffee Impact and Purpose35:04 What's Next for Three Keys37:31 Distinguished Alumni Honor39:10 Advice for Aspiring FoundersThe Owl Have You Know Podcast is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:Your network is your education04:36: Sometimes when people hear that, you know, your network is your net worth, it's almost more of a sense of, someone can just get you an introduction, or they can get you in a room. And it's not so much about having adjacency to people. I think that's more, that's like social climbing, right? But when you network, I see that as sharing. I see that as exchanging information and insights. And so, for me, when I think of that phrase, like "network is your net worth," I look at that as enhancing your education, enhancing your perspective, enhancing how deeply you understand the world and society that we live and work in. And sometimes you do have to rely on a lot of different experiences and perspectives. And for me, that's how that network expands.Bringing the cafe experience at home22:50: Jazz was actually one of the genres that helped with the advent of, you know, vinyl albums. You know, people wanted to be able to take that live music experience but be able to enjoy it and celebrate it at home. Prior to some of the early jazz recordings, there really was just, like, classical music that had actually been put on vinyl. And so jazz allowed people to bring home that concert and that live band experience, and that's the same thing that we kind of wanted to do with coffee. It's like, "Hey, you don't have to go to a shop. You get the right beans. You understand how to make them. You can have that cafe experience at home." And so kind of drawing that parallel as well in the way that we wanted to create coffee and share coffee with people.The email that changed everything25:25: I remember getting an email that was like, "Hey, we're thinking about doing, you know, highlighting different coffee shops. Can you send us some pictures of your shop?" And it was from Food & Wine, but I'm just thinking, "Oh, they're just going to highlight a bunch of folks." I had no clue. I truly had no clue until the announcement was made that we were named. They had us on the list as the best in Texas. We were just, I mean, mind-blown.Show Links: Three Keys CoffeeTranscriptGuest Profile:Kenzel Fallen | Rice BusinessKenzel Fallen | LinkedIn

This one's a bit of a TMBA throwback — a story about how to leverage the skills you already have to build a business and life that fits your goals. Hannah Wilnau co-owns Wilnau Design, a web design and digital marketing agency serving independent financial advisors — fully remote, built over ten years alongside her husband and co-founder Greg. It started with a side project she almost didn't do. That one project became her first client, which became a referral, which became a ten-year business. In this conversation: the specific savings number she and Greg used to decide when to make the leap, how she thinks about niche selection and why the right niche should align with the life you want to build, and how she's now engineering a sale — and what the financial discipline that requires looks like day to day.

DC Studios dropped three major animation announcements at Annecy this morning, and this episode breaks down all of them. The headliner is an Absolute Batman animated series with the comic's own creative team steering the ship, followed by Joker: Laugh Riot, an original anime that flips the Batman formula on its head, and a Krypto series that brings a much lighter, family-friendly energy to the slate. No manor, no money, all Batman, and that is just the start.Beyond the three big reveals, this one digs into why these announcements matter for the bigger picture. With projects like Mister Miracle from Tom King already in the works, DC is treating animation as a real priority rather than a side project. The takeaway is simple: animation has become the place where these characters can be told accurately and ambitiously, the same way Invincible and X-Men '97 proved the medium can carry the most compelling superhero stories around.00:00:00 DC Studios' Big Annecy Announcements00:00:04 Absolute Batman Gets an Animated Series00:00:29 Joker: Laugh Riot, DC's First Anime00:00:57 Krypto and the SpongeBob Connection00:01:17 Why Animation Is No Longer a Side Project for DC00:01:32 Listener Question and Sign OffAbsolute Batman is getting an animated series with Scott Snyder showrunning and artist Nick Dragotta producing, so the comic's creative team stays intact. No release date yet.The Absolute Batman comic has sold more than 6 million copies, with the first volume already on its 11th printing. This version is a working-class Bruce Wayne with no fortune, no manor, only one parent lost, and a civil engineer who builds all his own tools.Joker: Laugh Riot is an anime from WB Animation, DC Studios, and Japan's SOLA Entertainment, the studio behind The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, with the same director attached.The Joker story is original: after Batman is killed, the Joker tears through Gotham's underworld hunting the culprit, because he realizes he does not know who he is without Batman.The Krypto series is the furthest out and the most lighthearted, following Superman's dog as he runs with a gang of misfit criminals. C.H. Greenblatt of SpongeBob fame is developing it, so expect that playful energy.The bigger story is that DC is putting real weight behind animation now, with Mister Miracle from Tom King and more on the way. Following the lead of Invincible and X-Men '97, animation is where these comic-accurate stories can truly shine."If you're not on the absolute train yet, get on it. It's so good.""He works on the city during the day, fights crime at night, and he's beefy as hell.""Animation is no longer a side project for these guys.

Genau hier setzen wir an und sprechen darüber, warum Zeitmanagement oft gar kein Zeitmanagement ist, sondern Selbstverwaltung, Priorisierung und ein ziemlich ehrlicher Blick auf den eigenen Alltag.In dieser Episode ist Dirk Deimeke zu Gast, Systems Engineer bei der Swisscom, Open-Source-Enthusiast, Podcaster und Buchautor. Mit ihm diskutieren wir Methoden wie Getting Things Done, Inbox Zero, Time-Blocking, Eat the Frog und die Zwei-Minuten-Regel.

What if you could build a practice that serves not just kids, but their parents too—all under one roof? Today's guest launched her business during maternity leave, and now she owns a multidisciplinary clinic, supports other therapists, and even created a virtual parenting library. I can't wait for you to hear her story.I'm thrilled to introduce you to Jacklin Bloodgood, a speech-language pathologist, business owner, and one of the amazing students of the Start Your Private Practice program. Jacklin is a Jersey Shore native based in Manahawkin, New Jersey, and she is the owner and founder of Just Speechie LLC and The Therapy Hub LLC.What started as a way to spend more time with her newborn daughter has turned into so much more. Today, Jacklin runs a growing practice with multiple revenue streams: in-home therapy, school contracts, a shared clinic space, and now a virtual video library for parents. She proves that you don't need a business degree or a 5-year plan, you just need to take the next small step.Jacklin Bloodgood earned her Master's Degree in Speech and Language Pathology, as well as her undergraduate degree in K-12 and Special Education, from Seton Hall University. She is passionate about treating communication and feeding disorders in children and adults, and she brings that same dedication to mentoring other clinicians.In 2025, Jacklin opened The Therapy Hub, a multidisciplinary clinic that takes a whole-family approach by including child-centric and adult services under one comprehensive roof.

In this episode of the Cannabis Accounting Podcast, host Raymond Guns sits down with Nick Kenny, Founder of KBS Strategic Advisory, to pull back the curtain on how the world's largest, most established companies have been quietly studying — and entering — cannabis for nearly a decade.Nick spent 18 months inside Imperial Brands educating a FTSE-listed boardroom on cannabis before anyone could say the word publicly. That work led to real investments, a career pivot, and eventually to KBS — a consultancy built around one idea: helping highly regulated, mature industries navigate entry into highly regulated, immature ones.Nick opens up about:

Jede:r in Tech kennt sie: die Side-Project-Idee, die sich am Anfang wie der nächste geniale Wurf anfühlt. Ein echtes Problem, eine elegante technische Lösung, ein Wochenende Motivation und vielleicht sogar schon die passende Domain. Und dann? Dann kommen Alltag, Overengineering, fehlender Produkt-Market-Fit, Plattform Abhängigkeiten oder schlicht zu wenig Zeit. Genau darüber sprechen wir in dieser Episode. Ohne Hochglanz, ohne Gründerromantik, ohne nachträglich zusammengebasteltes Happy End.Wir schauen darauf, warum gescheiterte Side-Projects völlig normal sind und trotzdem kaum sichtbar werden. Mit dabei sind Themen wie Survivorship Bias, Startup-Statistiken, Payment first, Ship first, Dogfooding, Accountability und die unbequeme Wahrheit, dass Coding oft der einfache Teil ist, während Vertrieb, Distribution und Durchhaltevermögen der eigentliche Endgegner sind. Konkret wird es mit zwei ehrlichen Beispielen: einem Wohnungs-Crawler namens Wohnbot, der per WhatsApp neue Wohnungsanzeigen schicken sollte, und einer Fitness-App, die aus einem kleinen UX-Problem direkt in ein Rabbit Hole aus Flutter, CI, Monitoring und Perfektionismus gerutscht ist.Wenn du selbst schon Open Source Tools, Apps, Automationen oder andere Side-Projects gestartet und nie zu Ende gebracht hast, wirst du dich hier ziemlich sicher wiederfinden. Vielleicht nimmst du sogar etwas mit für dein nächstes Projekt.

What does it really take for a two-person indie team to turn an after-hours idea into a real shipped game?In this episode of Player Driven, Greg sits down with Max Mraz of Moth Atlas to talk about the long road behind Tombwater, a handcrafted horror western action game built over four years while balancing full-time jobs. What started as a small experiment quickly became something much bigger, forcing the team to figure out scope, structure, production, and eventually, what kind of help they actually needed to get the game across the finish line.The conversation digs into the reality behind indie development when you are not a full studio with departments, producers, and extra hands. Max shares how the team stayed organized, how they thought about what belonged in version one, and why building the game was only part of the challenge. The other half was everything around launch: QA, community, support, and the operational work that most people do not think about until it is staring them in the face.They also get into one of the more honest questions indie developers wrestle with: when does self-publishing stop making sense? Max breaks down why working with a publisher mattered for a team like his, what support actually made a difference, and which parts of the process he was most grateful not to have to own himself.If you are an indie developer, a publisher, or just someone who loves hearing how games actually get made, this episode is a great look at the gap between having a cool idea and getting a game into players' hands.In this episode, we cover:How Tombwater went from a small side project to a full commercial releaseWhat it looks like to build a game after work while holding a full-time jobHow a two-person team managed scope, production, and version one decisionsWhat most indie teams underestimate about launching a gameWhy professional QA is very different from casual playtestingHow publishing support helped remove major operational burdensThe value of community support without forcing the developer to run everythingWhat Max would tell other tiny teams trying to build something realAbout TombwaterTombwater is a handcrafted action game that blends Soulslike, Zelda-like, and Metroidvania elements inside an Eldritch Horror Wild West setting. Players explore a cursed town, uncover hidden mysteries, and battle through dangerous enemies, bosses, spells, weapons, and secrets.LinksWishlist / play Tombwater on SteamLearn more about Midwest GamesMore episodes at Player Driven#PlayerDriven #IndieGames #GameDevelopment #IndieDev #SteamGames #GamePublishing #Soulslike #GameDesign

You may be shocked to hear that Green Day have a lot of songs. Some may say, in fact, that they have too MANY songs, because there does come a point where they all just blend into on another. In this episode we explore this phenomenon, and it is exclusively (in our view) an issue that plagues the latter half of their career. We cover everything from American Idiot to Saviors, and whilst not all of these albums are afflicted in such a way, it definitely seems to become more prevalent as we more closer to the present era. We also ask a crucial question - is Green Day punk? The answer is probably not quite what you expect, but we do debate the finer points. Suggesting that perhaps they could be Schrodinger's punx...

What do you do when the soda you started making to complement your craft brewery ends up outgrowing the brewery itself? That's exactly what happened to Diana, co-founder of Callister Soda.  In this episode, Diana walks us through her unlikely journey — from office worker dreaming of a sustainable farm, to opening Callister Brewing in Vancouver in 2015, to hand-capping bottles and hand-seaming cans as her natural soda line quietly took on a life of its own. She shares the hard lessons of navigating supply chain chaos, a craft beer market in decline, and a rent increase that tripled over a decade — and how a perfectly timed facility opportunity in Port Coquitlam gave Callister Soda the home it needed to grow. If you're a food or beverage founder wondering whether to follow the momentum or stay the course, Diana's story is one you'll want to hear.   Check out Callister here: https://callistersoda.com/

Today we're talking about family bands with two guys who know a thing or two about them; Louis Michot and Corey Ledet. Both of these gentlemen are parts of families with deep musical roots. And they both give us a brief rundown of where they fit in the family tree. Corey's great grandfather was an early jazz pioneer while Louis' grandmother was a professional whistler! And Louis talks about their supernatural book connection.  We talk about life in family bands; where it makes things better and where it's more difficult. Is touring with the fam harder than with unrelated bandmates? Louis & Corey give us the good, the bad, and the ugly about working with family in the music business. Louis had to go part way through this, but not to worry, Corey sticks around to talk about his first ever live album: Corey Ledet Zydeco & Black Magic Live In Alaska. And while I was hoping it was the first live album from Alaska, it turns out there are others. Not many, but a couple. Anyway, it's a killer performance from a super-hot band.

"Follow your passion" consistently ranks as the most frustrating advice entrepreneurs receive. Today I'm breaking down why this well-meaning guidance becomes dangerous when followed blindly, and more importantly, what it actually decodes into when you think about it properly. Using my own experience with miniature painting and 3D printing, I'll show you how the real opportunity isn't doing what you love for money—it's finding others who share your passion and solving the problems they can't solve themselves.This episode of The Bootstraped Founder is sponsored by Paddle.comThe blog post: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/follow-your-passion-but-not-like-that/ The podcast episode: https://tbf.fm/episodes/434-follow-your-passion-but-not-like-that Check out Podscan, the Podcast database that transcribes every podcast episode out there minutes after it gets released: https://podscan.fmSend me a voicemail on Podline: https://podline.fm/arvidYou'll find my weekly article on my blog: https://thebootstrappedfounder.comPodcast: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/podcastNewsletter: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/newsletterMy book Zero to Sold: https://zerotosold.com/My book The Embedded Entrepreneur: https://embeddedentrepreneur.com/My course Find Your Following: https://findyourfollowing.comHere are a few tools I use.

Welcome to the second annual Seeing Them Live Year End Concert Review show, where a panel of returning guests shares their favorite live music experiences from 2025. Host Charles brings together an eclectic group of music enthusiasts including award-winning documentary filmmaker Eric Green, podcast host Jessica Catena, nurse practitioner Summer, antique shop owner Art Gregg, executive assistant Dawn Fontaine, accountant Steve Pothel, high school teacher Andy, and producer Doug Flozak to discuss the concerts that defined their year.Eric Green kicks off the discussion with an impressive lineup that showcased both legendary side projects and emerging talent. His year began with Close Enemies featuring Aerosmith bassist Tom Hamilton at City Winery Boston, followed by Kim Deal's solo tour at the Wilbur Theater. He caught Benmont Tench of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers fame doing an intimate VH1 Storytellers-style performance, and witnessed Shane Hawkins honoring his late father Taylor Hawkins with Chevy Metal at Brighton Music Hall. Eric also saw the Joe Perry Project's supergroup lineup featuring Chris Robinson and Robert DeLeo, enjoyed a nostalgic double bill of Billy Idol and Joan Jett at the Xfinity Center, caught the rising stars Wet Leg at a packed Roadrunner Boston show, experienced Jeff Tweedy's multigenerational band at Royale, and closed out his year with Throwing Muses at the new Racket venue in New York City.Jessica Catena attended three memorable indoor concerts that kept her dry after previous years of rain-soaked shows. She saw young jazz sensation Samara Joy at the newly renovated Ridgefield Playhouse in Connecticut with her uncle, experienced the Broadway spectacle of Moulin Rouge featuring Wayne Brady and Taye Diggs with updated contemporary songs, and capped off her year at iHeartRadio's Jingle Ball at Madison Square Garden, where she saw Ed Sheeran, Laufey, and a diverse lineup of pop and folk artists while dealing with some challenging sightlines.Summer's concert year included the intimate Metro show with Bridget Calls Me Baby where her son met the bass player's parents, a record-breaking night at Lollapalooza featuring Olivia Rodrigo's surprise Weezer collaboration, an energetic Yungblud performance at the Riviera that included some crowd drama, and a unique operatic interpretation of Smashing Pumpkins' Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness at the Lyric Opera of Chicago during a snowstorm.Art Gregg had a remarkable year highlighted by three unforgettable shows. He saw childhood hero Burton Cummings of The Guess Who at the North Shore Center for Performing Arts after accidentally meeting him in the lobby without recognizing him, caught Michael Schenker's 50 Years with UFO celebration at the Desplaines Theater, and scored a last-minute ninth-row ticket to see Robert Plant at the intimate Vic Theatre, where the Led Zeppelin legend performed six classic songs including an electrifying version of Ramble On that earned a rare standing ovation.Charles rounds out the discussion by mentioning his own concert experiences at new Chicago venues including Space in Evanston where he saw Mdou Moctar and The Old 97s, the female-focused Motoblot festival at Beat Kitchen, an incredible Buddy Guy performance at the Rialto Square Theater where the 89-year-old blues legend walked through the aisles playing guitar, shows at the new Garcia's venue and City Winery, and his anticipation for an upcoming Iron Maiden show. The episode concludes with a teaser for part two, which will feature Dawn's private jet experience with the Rolling Stones, Andy's Bonnaroo adventure, and Steve's concert highlights.BANDS: Aerosmith, Alex Warren, Bachman Turner Overdrive, Belly, Benmont Tench, Billy Idol, Black Crows, Black Sabbath, Bob Dylan, Bridget Calls Me Baby, Burton Cummings, Chapel Rowan, Chevy Metal, Close Enemies, DJO, Dogs in a Pile, Ed Sheeran, Elastica, Elastica, Elvis, Foo Fighters, Foghat, Foster the People, Gary Newman, Generation X, Gigi Perez, Guns N Roses, Iron Maiden, Jeff Tweedy, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Joe Perry Project, Johnny Cash, K-pop band Monsta X, Katy Perry, Kim Deal, King Gizzard, Laufey, Led Zeppelin, Led Zeppelin 2, Liz Fair, Mdou Moctar, Metallica, Michael Shanker, Miles Smith, Ministry, Neil Young, Nelly, Nine Inch Nails, Olivia Rodrigo, Ozzy Osborne, Pixies, Psychedelic Furs, Radiohead, Robert Plant, Rolling Stones, Runaways, Samara Joy, Sarah Larson, Shonen Knife, Smashing Pumpkins, Soraia, Stone Temple Pilots, Taylor Hawkins, The Babies, The Beatles, The Black Crows, The Boudines, The Breeders, The Guess Who, The Old 97s, The Police, The Scorpions, The Velvet Underground, Throwing Muses, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, UFO, Van Halen, Walk the Moon, Wayne Brady, Weezer, Wet Leg, Wilco, Wrought Iron Soul, Yungblud.VENUES: Aragon Ballroom, Barclays, Beat Kitchen, Box Center Wang Theater (Boston), Brighton Music Hall (Boston), City Winery (Boston), City Winery (Chicago), Credit Union One Amphitheater, Desplaines Theater, Garcia's, Grant Park, Great Woods (Xfinity Center in Mansfield, Massachusetts), House of Blues, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Madison Square Garden, Metro, North Shore Center for Performing Arts (Skokie, Illinois), Penn Station, Racket (New York City/Chelsea), Ravinia, Rialto Square Theater, Ridgefield Playhouse, Riviera, Roadrunner Boston, Royale (Boston), Salt Shed (Chicago), Sonia (Cambridge, Massachusetts), Space (Evanston, Illinois), Thalia Hall, Tweeter Center, Vic Theatre (Chicago), Wilbur Theater (Boston), Wrigley Field, Xfinity Center (Mansfield, Massachusetts).

They discuss the challenges of managing law firm operations, experimenting with side projects like the Modern Divorce Navigator, and the impact of AI and venture capital on legal services.Billie shares how AI can increase efficiency in the legal space. There is a current shortage of lawyers and because of this, many people are unrepresented or are having a hard time finding a lawyer. AI has the ability to transform the legal practice and allow lawyers to represent more people and cut down their processes and systems to provide them the time to do it.Billie and Tyson chat about how AI can handle client communications. It can really change the intake system and do tasks like handling client calls. Training AI to handle client inquiries can make things easier for lawyers who might not have the time to respond to clients when needed. It would be great for AI to read client files and provide updates. Though this could be very intrusive and take tasks away from admin staff or paralegals, it is a great way to cut down on firms that are extremely overwhelmed.Listen in to learn more!2:17 Modern Divorce Navigator: Concept & Failure 5:01 Recognizing When to Quit5:37 Law Firm Owners & Side Projects 9:30 AI's Role in Access to Justice10:19 AI, Fees, and the Legal Market 16:27 Challenges of Law Firm Acquisitions18:44 Legal Tech Investment & AI Tools21:05 Building vs. Buying Legal Tech23:31 Rapid AI Advancements & Future Predictions 30:40 Staffing Adjustments & Role Evolution37:34 AI for Current Clients & Future Potential 42:30 Hiring a House Manager: Challenges & TipsTune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here. Connect with Billie:Website Instagram Facebook Linkedin Youtube TikTok
