Kayla Williams-Campbell is Deputy Director of Community Legal Services of Prince George's County, where she oversees attorneys, manages grants, and supports eviction prevention programs. In this episode, Kayla shares how networking opened doors throughout her career, why public service became her passion, and how young lawyers can build careers around work they genuinely care about. Lawyer Side HustlesKayla's career story expands the idea of what lawyers can build beyond traditional client representation. Although she isn't pursuing a conventional side hustle, her role requires her to use skills that reach far beyond litigation. Grant writing, program management, data reporting, staff supervision, training development, and organizational leadership have all become important parts of her work. Those skills have allowed her to create impact without spending every day in the courtroom. “I just want to highlight the importance of taking advantage of different areas of law that your office provides,” Kayla Williams-Campbell expresses in Episode 260 of You Are a Lawyer.That approach has allowed Kayla to explore expungements, domestic violence matters, wills, and other areas beyond eviction prevention. Rather than allowing a job title to define the limits of her experience, she intentionally looks for opportunities to learn. For young lawyers, that mindset can turn a single position into a much broader professional education and create options for future career moves, leadership opportunities, or entirely new directions. This episode is produced by Skip the Boring Stuff, a podcast strategy company for business owners and creatives.

How much of your week disappears into questions other people could already answer? If nothing moves until you weigh in, the business runs at your speed and no faster.Martin and Khalil work through three questions listeners sent in: what a new hire actually costs before they generate a dollar, how an owner stops being the dumping ground for every decision, and whether it's normal that the owner works the most hours. The answers keep landing in the same place. Most owners delegate the task and keep the responsibility.If you're trying to buy back your week without anything hitting the floor, this one's worth your drive home. The owners who fix it stop carrying the whole business in their head.Key Topics & Timestamps00:48 - AI Is Like the Internet02:14 - Privacy and Connected Data04:01 - Health Scares and Stress Tests08:54 - Insurance Costs for Owners14:27 - Hiring Math and Seasonal Labor27:29 - Clarity in Hiring30:41 - Owner as Decision Bottleneck35:45 - Work Less Delegate ProfitablyMemorable QuotesDelegation is a capital investment. It costs you now in time, effort, training. Once it's paid, the machine just starts to run" — Martin"You've gotta be able to delegate responsibility and not just tasks." — Khalil"As long as you're willing to answer the questions, they're never gonna ever quit asking." — Martin"There are too many businesses, small businesses out there where the owner works the most and gets paid the least." — Khalil"You can't be their relief valve." — MartinKey TakeawaysBuild the all-in number before you make the offer. Wage and overtime are just the start, and benefits, paid time off, software, and equipment push a $65,000 salary close to $95,000. The offer letter never shows you that.Managing a new person eats a slice of your own week, so count that slice before you hire. It comes straight out of the time you were trying to buy, and owners who skip the math wonder why nothing got easier.Before you sign a salesperson, name the margin they have to bring in. Martin's rule of thumb is about three times what they cost you all in. Then look hard at whether the territory can actually produce it.Answer a question with a question. Point people back to the manual, the job description, or the contract. As long as you keep handing out answers, they'll keep coming to get them.Hand over a whole area, with the context behind it, the end state you want, who to call besides you, and when to escalate. Skip any of those and it lands back on your desk.Decide which two or three areas genuinely need you, then name someone else as the point person on everything else. They can sit outside the company. You still carry the responsibility, you just stop being the first phone call.A lot of owners can't fund help at the prices they're charging today. Fix the pricing first, and hiring the person who gets you out of the truck stops being a someday thing.ResourcesCrowdHealthPeter Lohmann⁠Quo⁠Need help with podcast production?

Everyone wants innovation. But what exactly are we asking for?In this Post-Pod, Marc and Vassilis unpack their conversation with Fiona Stevenson, co-author of Built for Breakthrough, and start with one of the simplest problems: organizations frequently use the word “innovation” without agreeing on what it actually means.Breakthrough? Disruption? A game changer? Incremental growth? A new tactic?That distinction matters because, as Fiona argued, an idea doesn't become innovation until it is implemented and creates value.From there, the conversation turns to the organizational conditions that innovation requires. Marc and V discuss why teams rush to solutions before properly understanding the problem, why genuine innovation creates fear, and how the pursuit of certainty can push organizations toward safer incremental improvements.They also revisit Fiona's Six I's framework:Identify → Insights → Inspiration → Ideation → Iteration → ImplementationRather than treating those stages as a checklist, Vassilis argues they should be viewed as multipliers. Skip one and you risk weakening the entire system.The conversation closes with two bigger questions.First, if innovation requires focused thinking, why do we expect it to happen between back-to-back meetings?And second, if AI is giving us unprecedented productivity gains, will we use that extra capacity to explore new possibilities — or simply fill it with more of the same work?A Post-Pod about innovation, uncertainty, AI, marketing and why being busy isn't the same thing as building the future.Chapters00:00 Welcome to the Post-Pod00:21 Why “Innovation” Means Different Things to Everyone01:43 What Kind of Innovation Are We Actually Asking For?02:24 Defining Innovation Before Starting the Work02:53 An Idea Isn't Innovation Until It Creates Value04:04 Are We Solving Before Understanding the Problem?04:47 The Optimization Trap06:42 Why Fear Kills Innovation08:39 Why Incremental Innovation Feels Safer10:04 Fear Creates Overanalysis10:21 “How Might We?” vs. “We Should”11:10 Fiona's Six I's of Innovation11:40 Innovation as a Multiplicative System12:53 Is Intuition the Seventh I?13:20 How Marketing and Innovation Overlap14:28 Should Marketing Be an Innovation Function?17:39 Innovation Doesn't Happen Between Meetings18:32 Are We Using AI for Efficiency or Growth?19:48 Why AI Should Create Possibility20:08 AI Increases the Need for Discernment20:55 Final Thoughts

If you're frustrated that your business results don't match the goals you've set, it might be time to look at the choices you're making along the way. In this episode of The Real Truth About Business podcast, I'm breaking down one of the most important principles in business strategy: you get to choose how you run your business, but you also have to accept the trade-offs that come with those choices. You can choose your pricing strategy, how much you work, whether you build a team, how you market, and how aggressively you pursue revenue growth. But you can't make one choice while expecting results that require a completely different one. After 9 years of experience working with service-based entrepreneurs, I've seen how quickly this disconnect creates frustration and revenue plateaus. The goal isn't to make the “right” choice. It's to understand the reality of your choice, build the strategy around it, and own the results that come with it.What You'll Learn:How to recognize when your expectations don't match the business choices you've madeWhy every pricing strategy comes with trade-offs around volume, capacity, and profitHow to build a business strategy around the lifestyle you actually wantWhy choosing to market less can create a less predictable pipelineHow staying a solopreneur impacts capacity and revenue growthThe one question to ask before making any major business decisionEpisode Highlights:[00:00] Introduction: Everything in business is a choice[02:00] Why there really aren't many rules in business[03:00] Pricing for profit and what happens when you choose not to raise your prices[05:30] When your pricing choices don't support your revenue goals[07:30] Building a business strategy around the lifestyle you actually want[10:00] The question to ask: If I choose this, what else am I choosing?[12:00] Choosing not to market consistently and accepting a less predictable pipeline[13:30] Staying a solopreneur and navigating capacity constraints[15:00] Making a choice, owning it, and building the strategy around it[16:30] Wrap-up: The three takeaways for making better CEO decisionsKey Takeaways:You Get to Make the Choice, But You Don't Get to Skip the Trade-OffOne of the greatest things about owning a business is that almost everything is a choice.You can choose what you charge. You can choose how many hours you work. You can choose whether you grow, scale, hire employees, stay a solopreneur, post every day, or completely rethink your business model.There really aren't that many rules.But here's the part we don't talk about enough: you don't get to make a choice and then opt out of what comes with it.Every yes has a trade-off. Every no potentially closes a door. The problem isn't necessarily that you're making the wrong choice. The problem is when you're expecting a result that doesn't align with the choice you made.If You Choose the Price, You're Also Choosing the VolumeI recently attended an SBDC event where we were talking about pricing for profit. Someone raised the concern that his clients would look at the numbers and say they simply couldn't raise their prices because the market wouldn't support it.And my immediate thought was: that's their choice.You can absolutely choose not to raise your prices.But then you also need to understand what that means for your revenue, profitability, capacity, and workload.If you choose a lower price, you're also choosing the client volume required to reach your revenue goal. If the lower price requires more clients, that means more delivery time and potentially reaching your capacity ceiling faster.Inside the Focused Visionary Framework, Pricing cannot exist separately from Pipeline and Sales. Every pricing decision changes what the rest of your business needs to produce.Build the Strategy Around Your Actual LifeI have a client who told me point blank that she likes living a lazy life.And I loved that she owned it.It isn't my job to convince her that she needs to work harder. My job as her strategist is to ask: How do we build a business strategy around the lifestyle you actually want?If she doesn't want a calendar full of calls, we're not going to build an offer ecosystem dependent on tons of one-to-one delivery. If she doesn't want to market everywhere, we need a simpler marketing strategy.Maybe growth happens more slowly.That's okay.The disconnect happens when you say you want to work less, don't want to market, aren't interested in selling, and want to double your revenue in six months.Depending on the business, those choices probably don't support that expectation.Ask: If I Choose This, What Else Am I Choosing?This is the question I want you to start asking yourself:If I choose this, what else am I choosing?If I choose not to raise my prices, I'm choosing the volume required at my current price.If I choose not to market consistently, I'm choosing a less predictable pipeline.If I choose not to build a team, I'm accepting that capacity may eventually create a ceiling.If I choose not to use Instagram, I need to choose another way to consistently market my business.There are two sides to every decision.Your job as CEO is to understand both before deciding whether that choice actually supports the business you want.There's a Strategy for Almost Every ChoiceYou don't want to be on Instagram?Fine. Where do you want to market?You don't want to sell constantly?Okay. Could retention, recurring revenue, or repeat clients reduce the number of new sales you need?You don't want to raise your prices?Fine. Can you handle the volume required at your current price, or can you improve your costs and profitability somewhere else?You want to remain a solopreneur?Great. Then we need offers that allow you to increase revenue without continually adding more delivery hours.This is why I always say that every strategy works, but they're not all going to work for you.Your job isn't to follow someone else's business strategy. It's to understand your choices well enough to build the right strategy around them.Your Expectations Have to Match Your ChoicesThis is where facts over emotion matters.You can look at the numbers and decide you aren't comfortable charging the price the calculator recommends.That's okay.But if that lower price means the big wish-list goal you've created will take longer to achieve, you need to be willing to accept that too.You have two options.Change the choice.Or change the expectation.What doesn't work is holding tightly to both when the numbers tell you they don't coexist.Make the Choice and Own ItThere are three things I want you to take away from this episode.First, you are the business owner. You get to make whatever choice you want.Second, you have to be willing to accept what comes with that choice. Ask yourself, “If I choose this, what else am I choosing?”Third, once you've made an informed choice, own it.Don't immediately second-guess yourself because someone else is doing something different. Don't abandon the strategy because somebody got in your ear. Constantly changing your mind makes it incredibly difficult to build a predictable pipeline, market consistently, and maximize your profitability.Make the choice. Understand the trade-off. Build the strategy around it. Then take action.That's what it means to operate like the CEO of your business.FREE WORKSHOP REGISTRATION - THEY FOUND YOU...NOW WHAT??Resources MentionedGet your FREE Ceo Income PlanBook a CEO Strategy Call Learn more about The Missing Piece IntensiveLearn more about The Focused Visionary AcceleratorDownload the FREE Lead and Conversion TrackerSubscribe to the Sunday Morning Brew NewsletterAbout the Host:Michelle DeNio is a business strategist based in Sarasota, Florida, specializing in helping service-based entrepreneurs break through revenue plateaus using her Focused Visionary Framework.

Why are kids more addicted to screens than ever before? The answer may have a lot to do with how quickly technology has changed the way children grow up. In this episode of the Prime Family Podcast, Dr. Skip Wyss and Dr. Julie break down how phones, tablets, video games, and constant access to entertainment are impacting the way children think, communicate, problem-solve, and interact with the world around them.

You know Codie Sanchez as the woman who made buying a laundromat sound cooler than launching a startup. Today, she's back to talk about her new book, Own or Be Owned, and why so many founders are secretly addicted to their own businesses. Codie explains why being "the hero" of your company is a trap (she compares it to heroin), the 12 owner archetypes she discovered after surveying 15,000 business owners, and why the goal isn't to work harder, it's to become unnecessary. She also gets real about the parts of founder life nobody talks about: the years she put her personal life on hold chasing a revenue number, the fear of telling her team she was pregnant, and why she now believes "later" almost never actually comes.

We take on the third leg of the strength series with Louie Simmons, Westside Barbell, and the conjugate method. Jerred lays out the actual structure, two max effort days and two dynamic effort days a week, why the max effort movement rotates every single session instead of repeating, how the three week dynamic effort waves are built, and what accommodating resistance with bands and chains is really doing to the strength curve. Then we get into the three principles worth stealing even if you never run the program: speed increases power and power increases strength, variance is fine so long as it is constantly rotating rather than constantly random, and athleticism has to be trained or you will quietly lose it. We also cover the honest cons, the steroid question, the recovery cost of going max effort twice a week, and why Jerred rates the conjugate system a one or two out of ten for the average athlete even though he has notebooks full of respect for the man who built it. Plus the story of Accelerate Strength and Conditioning, his conjugate program written for hybrid athletes, and where that might resurface.

"Idiocracy" is 20 years old THIS MONTH! Anyone else know this one? A textbook "cult classic", Idiocracy made less than half a million dollars when it was first released in 2006, but it's seen been hailed by some as not only an insightful comedy but a terrifyingly prescient prediction of modern society's downfall. But does it hold up? Float along with the manatees as they get waaaay more political than usual. The fed rolled back protections for wild manatees this last month and we're mad! Skip this one if you're already saturated with mentions of current societal problems, but otherwise float along with the manatees as they discuss the classics, like: how much of this has actually already happened? Is President Camacho even a bad president, really? Is this scenario possible without some kinda Morlock situation going on? And, does anybody still think IQ actually means anything? (One of the manatees has tested higher than Einstein and is living proof that, no, it doesn't.)

Skip the banter: 00:06:35For years, the Knotek home appeared to be a place where struggling friends and relatives could find support, while inside, Shelly Knotek's daughters were witnessing escalating abuse, control, and isolation. As Kathy Loreno, Shane Watson, and later Ron Woodworth disappeared from the family's life, Shelly offered explanations that those closest to her increasingly struggled to believe. The episode also examines the warnings that surfaced along the way, including injuries, troubling behavior, and a 2001 report to law enforcement that did not immediately lead to intervention. Allison walks through the sisters' accounts, the investigation, and the details that show how much was happening in plain sight before authorities finally acted.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Green Bay Greg has AI running through his entire business — ranking on Google, a mobile app, tools listening to every call. And he'll tell you straight up: none of it will save you. In this episode, Neil sits down with Green Bay Greg, one of the most tech-savvy agents in the business and the leader of a 14-agent independent brokerage doing over 450 transactions a year. Here's the twist: more than half of those deals still come from past clients and sphere, built on a decade of consistency, client events, and doing the mundane work most agents avoid. Greg is the rare tech expert who argues the tools aren't the point. AI is only valuable when it makes you a more efficient version of an agent who's already mastering the fundamentals — the calls, the matchmaking, the follow-up, the real customer service. Layer tech on top of that, and you become impossible to catch. Skip the fundamentals and buy tools to avoid them, and you get smoked. If you've ever felt behind on AI or buried in shiny objects, this episode is permission to double down on what actually works — and proof, from the most advanced tech agent Neil knows, that the fundamentals still win. If you want a business that's clear, consistent, and congruent with who you are, this one's for you.

Hey, Family Brand community! We're trying something new on the podcast this week—new chairs, a new setup, and a conversation that started with something Chris wasn't actually planning to do. A couple of months ago, Chris got a new phone and, when he was setting everything back up, decided not to reinstall social media. There wasn't some dramatic social media detox or big declaration behind it. He just felt like he shouldn't put it back on his phone. What happened next surprised both of us. Chris started noticing that he felt more present—with me, with our kids, with his team, and even with himself. Then he took the experiment a little further. One Saturday, knowing he'd be spending hours doing tractor work, he intentionally left his headphones behind. No podcast. No music. No inspirational content. Just a few hours alone with his thoughts. And strangely enough, that felt uncomfortable at first. It made us wonder: when did being alone with our own thoughts become something we needed to avoid? That question led us somewhere much bigger. We both love books, podcasts, coaches, mentors, and personal development, and they've absolutely changed our lives. But Chris realized that some of the most profound ideas and breakthroughs he's ever experienced didn't actually come from someone else. They came during the times when he slowed down enough to ponder, pray, ask questions, and listen. Melissa has been experiencing something similar while preparing for an upcoming talk at church. By intentionally creating more quiet instead of immediately filling every empty moment with another audiobook or piece of content, ideas and clarity have started coming naturally. It made us wonder: what if the wisdom and inspiration we're constantly searching for is more available to us than we realize? And in today's world, this conversation feels especially important. We can outsource our thinking to influencers, podcasts, experts, social media, and now even AI. Those tools can be incredibly useful—we use them too—but they can't replace your own intelligence, intuition, faith, or understanding of your unique life. Sometimes asking someone else to tell us what to do is simply easier than doing the uncomfortable work of getting clear about what we actually want. Maybe we don't always need another answer. Maybe we need enough silence to hear the answer that's already trying to get through. So we're leaving you with a challenge this week: choose one time when you'd normally reach for stimulation—driving, working out, doing chores, or sitting down at the end of the day—and don't. Skip the podcast. Leave the music off. Put the phone away. Bring one of those questions that's been sitting in the back of your mind and give yourself enough stillness to actually think about it. Pray, ponder, listen, or simply sit with your thoughts and see what comes up. You might be surprised by what you already know. Hit play to hear the full conversation! P.S. We're here to help you build your own Family Brand, one episode at a time. So go ahead, hit play, and let's grow together!

This is the All Local afternoon update for August 28, 2026.

Your LinkedIn feed will be full of “great to see you” posts after WSAA 2026, but the real value happens before the photos, in the hallways and late-night conversations where partnerships actually start. I'm joined by Amanda Beam, Vice President of Partner Relations at Exectras and a member of the WSAA Board of Directors, to give you a clear preview of what to expect September 15th through 17th in Palm Springs, California and why this conference continues to be a must-attend for the acquiring and merchant services community.We dig into what's being expanded this year, including a heavier focus on education, technology exposure, and structured opportunities to collaborate with leaders across the payments ecosystem. Amanda shares what it takes to make the event feel seamless, from the online registration process to the on-site experience and the mobile app, and why those details matter when you're trying to maximize meetings and make every conversation count.We also talk about what makes WSAA networking so effective: the density of decision makers, the mix of settings beyond the showroom floor, and the momentum that comes from being in the same place for three full days of connections. On the content side, expect two full days of conference programming covering emerging payment technologies, business growth strategies, and the evolving needs of merchants and consumers, plus updates from card brands and eight and a half hours of focused exhibitor time to evaluate solutions and spot trends quickly.If you want to stay informed, build real relationships, and avoid missing the conversations that shape next year's deals, make sure you're part of WSAA 2026. 

One forgotten task can cost thousands of dollars. HomeZada co-founders Beth Dodson and John Bodrozic reunite behind the mic to break down the difference between one-time tasks (repairs, troubleshooting, replacements) and recurring tasks (the preventative maintenance that keeps your home running efficiently and safely) — and why so many "sudden" repairs are really just skipped maintenance in disguise. They trade favorite and most-forgotten tasks, from air filters and dryer vents to draining the water heater and degreasing the stove hood, and explain the real costs of neglect: shortened equipment life, denied insurance claims, higher energy bills, and genuine fire and health hazards. Key Topics & Timestamps (01:13) — Why tasks matter Beth sets the stakes: one forgotten task can cost thousands, and today's mission is clarifying one-time vs. recurring tasks. (02:16) — What is a recurring task? John's definition: things done on a regular basis — monthly, seasonally, or annually — to keep the home operating efficiently, because a home is a collection of building materials and equipment in constant use. (03:01) — Beyond efficiency: safety and health Beth raises the stakes further — skipping some of these tasks isn't just costly, it can be life-threatening or cause health conditions. (04:23) — What is a one-time task? Something stopped working and needs troubleshooting, repair, or (after repeated fix attempts) replacement. Examples: a garbage disposal that won't spin, a refrigerator that's not staying cold, a leaky faucet knob, a shower head spraying oddly. (08:05) — The key insight: one-time tasks are often failed recurring tasks A warm refrigerator is frequently just a dusty compressor that needed an annual vacuuming. A weak shower head is mineral gunk that needed an annual cleaning. (08:17) — Beth's favorite: air filters Change them 3–4 times a year — even 6 during wildfire season, when they turn black shockingly fast. (11:19) — The hidden dryer vent Everyone cleans the lint trap; few clean the duct behind the dryer that vents outside. Clogged vents mean longer dry times, higher bills — and a serious fire hazard, because lint is highly flammable. (13:17) — The real challenge: nobody gives you a schedule Homes don't come with maintenance calendars. Homeowners forget, don't know, or argue over who's responsible. The fix is a system that remembers for you. (15:04) — How HomeZada solves it At signup, HomeZada auto-creates a recurring maintenance schedule with email reminders and a monthly digest. There are roughly 30–40 preventative tasks per home, spread across seasons — most take about 10 minutes with basic household tools. (17:42) — Rapid fire: tasks people never think about Beth: walk the house checking windows and doors for gaps that leak heating and cooling. John: walk the exterior checking for tree branches growing over the roof, into windows, gutters, or the HVAC unit — high winds turn overgrowth into broken glass and water damage. (19:43) — The task John forgot: draining the water heater Minerals build like a pyramid at the bottom of the tank. An annual partial drain preserves it; neglect means cold showers, flooding, and replacing a 15-year appliance in year five. (21:28) — The task Beth forgot: stove hood grates Grease and grime buildup above the stove is reportedly a leading cause of kitchen fires — one flame catches the grease, spreads to the cabinets, and "bamboo, you have a kitchen fire." (23:44) — Why it all matters: useful life Appliances have manufacturer-rated lifespans (fridge 15–20 years, water heater ~15), but only with maintenance. Skip it and you're paying $2,000–$3,000 replacements a decade early. As John puts it: spend that $3,000 on a vacation instead. (26:04) — The insurance angle Skipped preventative maintenance can void claims — and even honored claims come with $2,500–$5,000 deductibles that often exceed the repair cost anyway. (28:47) — The energy bill angle Uncaulked windows, clogged dryer vents, and struggling equipment all work harder and longer, quietly inflating monthly energy and water bills. (30:20) — John's #1 reminder for every homeowner: clean your gutters Every home gets rain; clogged gutters create leaks, leaks get into walls, walls grow mold, and mold becomes a health issue. (31:22) — Beth's #1: pest defense Regular spraying (including her aromatherapy concoctions) keeps spiders, squirrels, and cushion-eating critters outside. As they coin it: pest defense is the best defense — and possibly a future episode. Key Takeaways Recurring tasks keep the home running efficiently and safely; one-time tasks are repairs — and many repairs are just recurring tasks you skipped. Most preventative tasks take about 10 minutes with basic tools; there are roughly 30–40 per home spread across the seasons. The dryer vent duct and stove hood grates are two of the most-forgotten tasks — and both are genuine fire hazards. Drain your water heater annually or risk replacing a 15-year appliance in year five. Skipped maintenance can void insurance claims, and deductibles often exceed the repair cost anyway. Neglected equipment works harder, silently raising your energy and water bills every month. Nobody remembers 30–40 tasks in their head — use a system (like HomeZada) that creates the schedule and sends the reminders automatically. If you do only one thing this year: clean your gutters.

Running out of space in your fall cool flower beds? Wondering if there are any cool-season hardy annuals you can wait to plant until very early spring instead of this autumn? Today, Lisa and Layne discuss three cool flowers that you may want to wait to plant until very early spring, even if they are winter hardy in your area. They cover the advantages of planting Strawflower (Xerochrysum bracteatum), Lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum), and Stock (Matthiola incana) in very early spring rather than fall. Listen to the podcast and learn which flowers you can hold off on planting until very early spring and why this may be a better option!The video version of Lisa and Layne's conversation will be posted to The Gardener's Workshop's YouTube channel, where all “Seed Talk” episodes are organized into a ⁠⁠⁠⁠playlist⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Kristen Porter built a successful niche law firm in Australia, sold 75% of the business, and returned to her first love: marketing. In this episode, Kristen shares how entrepreneurship helped her rediscover her creativity, why lawyers should market according to their personalities, and why choosing one career path doesn't mean you're stuck with it forever. Lawyer Side HustlesEntrepreneurship has been a recurring theme throughout Kristen's career. Her law firm wasn't built like a traditional practice. Alongside custom legal services, the firm developed an online template store, a subscription membership model, courses, and training for real estate agents. Those experiences allowed Kristen to explore the creative and business-building side of herself that had been largely dormant during her earlier legal career. "I think once I went to law school, the creativity side of my brain just turned off,” Kristen Porter expresses in Episode 259 of You Are a Lawyer.Building her firm helped turn that creativity back on. Kristen discovered that she loved creating, launching, and marketing businesses, eventually leading her to establish a marketing agency specifically for law firm owners. Instead of leaving her legal experience behind, she found a way to combine it with the career she originally wanted.  This episode is produced by Skip the Boring Stuff, a podcast strategy company for business owners and creatives.

How many times have you seen a Star Wars post claiming a new movie or series is “OFFICIALLY IN DEVELOPMENT”… only to find out it was never officially announced at all? From supposed Obi-Wan movies to Jabba the Hutt projects and everything in between, social media is filled with fake Star Wars “news” that looks official, gets thousands of comments and shares, and convinces fans that these projects are actually happening. Then, when they inevitably don't appear, the blame gets placed on Disney and Lucasfilm for “canceling” something they never announced in the first place. Tonight on Sarlacc Digest, we're taking a closer look at the growing problem of fake Star Wars news, clickbait, AI-generated content, fan concepts presented as official announcements, and the outrage cycle they create. We're not talking about legitimate rumors or fan wish lists. There's nothing wrong with speculation or imagining what could happen in the Star Wars universe. The problem is when “I wish this existed” becomes “THIS IS OFFICIALLY HAPPENING.” We'll also cover the latest Star Wars news, rumors, announcements and developments from around the galaxy. So before you get excited… or angry… about the next “BIG” Star Wars announcement you see on social media: STOP. CHECK. IS IT ACTUALLY REAL? That's what we're here for.

Skip the foreplay around 5:00 (this is a guesstimation due to ad placement by AI and not human beings) When beloved author Helen Bailey vanished in 2016, her fiancé, Ian Stewart, had an explanation. Helen had simply disappeared. But something about the story didn't add up. As police began digging deeper, Helen's seemingly happy life with Stewart started to unravel. Then came a discovery that changed everything. So what really happened to Helen? Was this a carefully planned murder—or was someone else responsible? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
