Guest: Dr. Levi Boggs, Georgia Tech Research InstituteWhen we think of lightning, we picture bolts striking the ground during a thunderstorm—but not all electrical activity stays within the lower atmosphere. High above the clouds, mysterious and fleeting flashes of light dance across the sky—sprites, blue jets, and gigantic jets—phenomena that are still not fully understood. Today on Weather Geeks, we're exploring the enigmatic world of upper atmospheric electrical phenomena with Dr. Levi Boggs, whose latest research is shedding new light on these elusive events. From cutting-edge observations to the impact these events may have on aviation, space weather, and even our understanding of lightning itself, we're thrilled to have Dr. Boggs here to break it all down!Chapters00:00 Introduction to Upper Atmospheric Electrical Phenomena04:58 Transient Luminous Events: Types and Characteristics10:58 Differences Between TLEs and Traditional Lightning16:02 Observing TLEs: Opportunities and Challenges20:58 Research Focus: Gigantic Jets and Their Impacts25:14 Challenges in Studying Transient Luminous Events28:22 The Importance of Observations in TLE Research31:31 Field Campaigns and Citizen Science33:05 Understanding Lightning Through TLE Research36:24 Future Aspirations in TLE ResearchSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Navigating PCS Chaos, Saving Money, and Finding Adventure! PCSing is a constant in military life, often bringing stress, extra costs, and confusion. But it doesn't have to be a nightmare! In this episode, we dive deep into practical tips and strategies to help you survive your next Permanent Change of Station (PCS), save money, and maybe even make it an adventure. We cover everything from getting your paperwork in order to leveraging financial benefits and preparing your family for the journey. In this episode, we discuss key strategies for managing your PCS: Getting Organized & Paperwork: The importance of physical binders and electronic backups for documents. Tips for outprocessing checklists and hand-carrying essential items like orders, Power of Attorneys, birth certificates, passports, and social security cards. Keep vital documents separate from movers. Financially Preparing: The crucial need to start saving cash early for unreimbursed expenses. Access to liquid money helps with stress management and avoiding debt. Cutting expenses is the first step to saving. Understanding Financial Benefits: Dislocation Allowance (DLA): An entitlement can be taken as an advance upfront (not a loan). Rates vary by pay grade and dependents (e.g., O-5 w/ dependents $5,339, E-4 w/ dependents $3,400 in 2025).  PCS Pay Advance: Option for up to one month's base pay, interest-free, paid back over 12 months. A tool for necessary situations, better than high-interest loans. Moving Your Stuff (HHG government move vs. PPM): Options include full government shipment (through TMO) or the Personally Procured Move (PPM). A partial PPM is recommended for conus moves to get paid for weight in your car. A full PPM offers significant profit potential by paying you the government's cost (examples mentioned: Jamie's $14,000 profit in 2023, and potential $10,000 profit in 2025). Challenge misinformation about PPM rules by referencing the JTR. Temporary Living Expenses (TLE) & Temporary Living Allowance (TLA): TLE (CONUS to CONUS, CONUS to OCONUS, or OCONUS to CONUS variants): Max $290/day, limited to 21 days, can be split between old and new PDS. Can be used for M&IE even when staying with family/friends. TLA (OCONUS): Up to 60 days upon arrival, 10 days upon departure. Covers lodging plus M&IE. Reference the JTR due to common misinformation. Prioritize minimizing stress over maximizing per diem. Preparing Your Family: Frame the move as an adventure. Acknowledge feelings (sadness, excitement) for everyone. Involve older kids in packing. Remember it's a team effort. Decluttering: Less stuff makes moving easier, especially with PPM. Reduces mental stress. Try methods like the hanger trick, Marie Kondo ("spark joy"), or the "poop test" for toys. Holding a garage sale can generate extra cash. Smart Travel & Leave: Explore circuitous travel or taking leave en route by getting it on your orders. PCS is a prime opportunity to take leave between assignments. Can take leave before departing or upon arrival. Understand BH timing. Inventory & Support: Video and photograph your belongings for inventory in case of loss or damage. You are not alone. Lean on your support network, friends, family, or sponsor for help.

Quand la cyberattaque frappe : deux récits bouleversants

Dans le cadre de la réforme du Bac général, les élèves de Seconde doivent choisir avant l'entrée en classe de Première 3 enseignements de spécialité parmi 13 matières proposées.La spécialité Langues, Littératures et Cultures Étrangères (LLCE) qui concerne 4 langues au choix : allemand, anglais, espagnol ou italien. Les thématiques sont différentes en fonction de la langue choisie. C'est l'anglais qui est majoritairement proposé en lycée comme enseignement de spécialité.Elle s'adresse à tous les élèves souhaitant consolider leur maîtrise d'une langue vivante étrangère et acquérir une culture approfondie et diverse relative à la langue étudiée. En s'appuyant sur des supports variés (œuvres littéraires, articles de presse, films, document iconographiques, documents numériques…), les élèves étudient des thématiques telles que « le voyage » ou « les imaginaires », tout en pratiquant l'ensemble des activités langagières (réception, production, interaction).Les principales compétences travaillées sont :Explorer la langue, la littérature et la culture de manière approfondieDévelopper le goût de lireEn ce qui concerne l'anglais, les deux thématiques du programme de Première sont divisées en axes d'études. En choisissant des œuvres liées à ces axes, l'élève étudie l'histoire, la littérature et la culture anglo-saxonne.En première, la spécialité LLCE est enseignée 4h par semaine.Si la spécialité est abandonnée en fin de première, c'est la moyenne des notes de l'année qui est prise en compte sous forme d'un contrôle continu avec un coefficient de 8 au Bac.Si l'élève choisit de poursuivre la spécialité LLCE en Terminale, alors l'enseignement passe à 6 heures par semaine avec une épreuve terminale de coefficient 16 au bac.Il existe une autre spécialité libellée Langues, littératures et cultures régionales (LLCR) enseignée et évaluée de la même façon que LLCE en 1re et en Tle.La spécialité LLCR s'applique à sept langues régionales : Basque, Breton, Catalan, Corse, Créole, Occitan-langue d'oc, Tahitien.Quelles poursuites d'études après la spécialité LLCE?Voyons à présent les études que permettent cette spécialité.La spécialité LLCE est indispensable pour entrer en faculté des langues (licences LEA etLLCE) ainsi que pour entrer en école de traduction.Elle est recommandée pour les secteurs du tourisme :BTS tourisme,du commerce :BTS CI Commerce international, MCO Management Commercial opérationneles écoles de commerce, de la communication et du journalismeElle peut être un plus pour entrer en classe prépa littéraire A/L ou B/L.Elle peut également s'avérer utile pour intégrer une classe prépa économique et commerciale ECG ou pour s'orienter vers des études de droit.Le programme détaillé de la spécialité est à retrouver sur le site du Bulletin Officiel de l'Education Nationale.

"Sven showed us that the goal of a presentation is to transfer knowledge and insight, not to show people how smart you are." In this heartfelt episode, we honor the legacy of Sven Treitel, a beloved figure in geophysics and at SEG. Kurt Marfurt and Sam Gray join host Andrew Geary to reflect on Sven's profound impact on their work and the field. In this episode, we talk about: > How a 25 cents coffee subsidy proved an invaluable investment for Amoco > The power and usefulness of the "chicken test" > How the gaming and AI industry of today relates to the oil and gas industry > The groundbreaking contributions of Sven and Enders Robinson, particularly in digital signal processing > Sven's approach to making complex concepts accessible and understandable > Sven's dedication to professional societies and his mentorship beyond Amoco > How Sven's international background shaped his perspectives and interactions > The humor and humility that made Sven a beloved mentor and colleague Listeners will gain a deep appreciation for Sven's lasting contributions to geophysics and his ability to bridge the gap between research and practical application. This episode is a tribute to a geophysical giant whose influence will be felt for generations. GUEST BIOS Kurt J. Marfurt is the recipient of SEG's highest honor, the Maurice Ewing Medal, awarded to a person deserving of special recognition for making major contributions to the advancement of the science and profession of exploration geophysics. Marfurt is a remarkably productive geophysicist, author, and educator with a distinguished career in academia and the oil and gas industry. After completing his Ph.D. in applied geophysics at Columbia University in 1978 and teaching there, he joined the Amoco Research Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, as a research geophysicist. During his tenure at Amoco, Marfurt made significant contributions to several processes and patents, particularly the development of seismic attributes. In 1999, Marfurt joined the faculty at the University of Houston, where he served as director of the Allied Geophysical Laboratories. He continued researching seismic imaging, interpretation, and data simulation, notably generating well-used synthetic data sets for the Marmousi model. In 2007, Marfurt joined the faculty of the University of Oklahoma, where he served as the Shultz Professor of Geophysics and is now professor emeritus. He has been involved with SEG as a short course instructor, associate editor of GEOPHYSICS, editor-in-chief of Interpretation, director at large on the SEG Board of Directors, and coauthor of more than 800 papers and abstracts. Samuel Gray received a PhD in Mathematics in 1978, and he joined the oil and gas industry in 1982 at Amoco's Research Lab in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he worked on seismic imaging, amplitude analysis, and velocity estimation problems. He moved to Amoco Canada in 1994, where the near surface humbled him. He joined Veritas (now CGGVeritas) in 1999. Gray has published and presented widely and has won awards for Best Paper in Geophysics and The Leading Edge, Best Presentation at SEG and CSEG meetings, and Honorable Mention for Best Paper in Geophysics. He has also served several times as an Associate Editor of Geophysics. In 2010, he received the SEG's Reginald Fessenden Award for his work on both the theoretical and practical sides of imaging. He won the SEG Maurice Ewing Medal in 2017. Sam retired as Senior Researcher, Subsurface Imaging, CGG (now Viridien).

"There's so much high-quality data, and more and more is being made publicly available. By shifting to open source, we're choosing that the value proposition is the people." Dr. Lindsey Heagy discusses February's special section in The Leading Edge on the future of applied geophysics. In this forward-thinking episode, we explore open-source software and its possibilities to transform the geosciences. As the world potentially shifts away from a hydrocarbon-based economy, the need for innovation in areas like mineral exploration, groundwater management, and urban geophysics has never been more pressing. Lindsey shares her insights on the power of open-source software to democratize science, allowing a broader community to engage in problem-solving and innovation. She explains the nuances of open-source licensing and its implications for collaboration and commercialization. We also get an inside look at the creation and impact of SimPEG, an open-source framework for geophysical inversions, which has become a sandbox for researchers to plug in new ideas without reinventing the wheel. This episode is a treasure trove for anyone interested in the intersection of technology, education, and research. Lindsey highlights how tools developed for teaching can lead to new research insights and how the open-source movement is redefining the value of scientific contributions. OVERVIEW * The timely importance of re-evaluating priorities in geophysics * The role of high-quality, publicly available data in expanding participation in science * The definition and implications of different open-source licenses * The story behind the development of SimPEG and its impact on geophysical research and education * How open-source software fosters collaboration between academia and industry * The future of open science and the evolution of scientific contributions TIMESTAMPS > 1:50 - The February issue of TLE explores the future of applied geophysics > 3:22 - What are some of the opportunities for applied geophysics? > 4:50 - Defining open-source software > 6:58 - Why the licensing terms matter > 8:29 - The motivating factors behind SimPEG > 14:46 - Making the business case for using open-source software > 20:31 - The importance of sharing data and code for the future of geophysics LINKS * Visit https://seg.org/podcasts/216-rethinking-data-geophysics-in-the-era-of-change-lindsey-heagy/ for the complete interview transcript and all the links referenced in the show. BIOGRAPHY Lindsey Heagy (https://lindseyjh.ca/) is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences (EOAS) at the University of British Columbia. Her research interests are in data science and inverse theory applied to questions in resource exploration, groundwater, and environmental applications. Her research group primarily focuses on machine learning and inversion methods for characterizing the subsurface using geophysical data, including electrical and electromagnetic data, as well as potential fields (gravity and magnetic data). Lindsey contributes to open-source projects, including software for computational geophysics and open-access educational resources for geosciences.

En France, le gouvernement a promis d'alléger les difficultés de la classe moyenne avec une baisse massive des impôts. Cela suffira-t-il à réconforter cet électorat revenu au centre des préoccupations du président de la République ? Pas sûr, selon la note de l'institut Montaigne publiée cette semaine. Cette étude de l'institut Montaigne (un think tank d'inspiration libérale), cherche à mieux cerner cette catégorie volontiers citée, mais dont la définition demeure floue. Pour son autrice, Lisa Thomas-Darbois, le plus petit dénominateur commun à ses membres reste le revenu. La classe moyenne englobe donc les Français qui se rapprochent le plus du revenu médian avant impôt, qui est aujourd'hui de 2 260 euros.Ceux qui gagnent entre 1 440 et 3 100 euros appartiennent à la classe moyenne. Cela concerne un large éventail : la moitié des Français de plus de 15 ans. Vingt pour cent sont plus riches et 30% plus pauvres. Mais si on sonde les Français, c'est beaucoup plus : 63% s'identifient à cette catégorie. En faire partie, c'est être doté de ce statut social censé assurer l'avenir. Une promesse de plus en plus difficile à tenir. Les membres de la classe moyenne sont hantés par la peur du déclassement.Baisse du pouvoir d'achatLa classe moyenne française, « c'est la France de l'angle mort », selon le président Macron. Des Français, a-t-il précisé lors de ses vœux, « qui gagnent trop pour être aidés et qui ne sont pas assez riches pour bien vivre ». L'étude le confirme. Ces Français contribuent largement aux recettes fiscales, à hauteur de 100 milliards d'euros, sans avoir le retour de l'État protecteur. Les ménages de la classe moyenne ont, par exemple, souffert de l'inflation sans bénéficier des boucliers mis en place par le gouvernement.Appartenir à la classe moyenne, c'est aussi disposer d'un capital financier, immobilier, culturel qui fait défaut aux catégories les plus pauvres. Or, cet avantage est en train de s'éroder, souligne l'institut Montaigne. Le pouvoir d'achat immobilier a baissé de 50% par rapport à la fin du XXe siècle. Et pour assurer aux enfants un avenir meilleur ou au moins équivalent à celui d'un membre de la classe moyenne, il faut dépenser toujours plus. En logement si on cherche à avoir accès à une bonne école ou en frais de scolarité si l'option retenue est de recourir au privé.Allègement d'impôtLe cadeau fiscal promis par le président va-t-il soulager ces ménages ? Les deux milliards d'allègement d'impôt annoncé pour 2025, c'est beaucoup pour l'État. Ramené aux dizaines de millions de contribuables qui peuvent y prétendre, ce ne sera plus que quelques centaines d'euros, pas de quoi changer la vie. Pour restaurer le contrat moral entre cette classe moyenne et l'État, ce n'est pas forcément sur le revenu qu'il faut agir, mais sur les points névralgiques de la crise, préconise l'institut Montaigne. Comme le logement avec l'accession à la propriété devenue hors de portée depuis l'envolée des taux d'intérêt. L'école ou encore les aides à la transition énergétique qui échappent à cette catégorie. Le Premier ministre Gabriel Attal précisera les pistes qu'il envisage pour reconquérir cette population. Souvent qualifiée de ventre mou de la société, la classe moyenne est aussi historiquement un groupe moteur pour l'adhésion aux valeurs de la société.

This is a classic rerun of my episode with Tom Tate. The email inbox can be the bane of an attorney's existence, easily stealing half of your day if you let it. But email marketing is an affordable and highly effective form of marketing for solo and small firms, so the inbox also shouldn't be ignored. However, you can save a lot of time and hassle with a good strategy and a bit of automation.Joining us today to help us conquer our inbox is Tom Tate, a marketing specialist with AWeber, creators of a suite of popular email marketing products. I use AWeber for both my law practice and my podcast, and although it's already helped me save a lot of time, I'm still just scratching the service of what the product offers. The sheer number of options in email service providers such as these can look a little daunting on the surface, but after this episode, I think you'll see that it's approachable for almost anyone.Get in touch with Tom Tate:Website: https://tomtatejr.com/ Try out AWeber: https://www.aweber.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/tnrtLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomtatejr/ Do More with Zapier + AWeber: https://zapier.com/apps/aweber/integrations Thank you to our sponsors!Ruby Receptionist - Virtual receptionist & live call services that will help you grow your office (and save money), one call at a time - to learn more, go to https://get.ruby.com/TLE or call 844.311.7829The Net Profit CFO - Ryan Kimler works with attorneys who want to enjoy higher net profits without working longer or harder.

Today my guest is Karl Seelbach. Karl is an attorney down near Austin, TX with a very interesting practice in which he defends or works with corporate clients that have the option of opting out of worker's comp (and self-insuring, so to speak) which creates a really interesting opportunity, and I think has a lot of pluses and some minuses to it. So I enjoyed exploring that with him. He's also the co-founder of a company called Skribe.ai. They seek to revolutionize the video deposition world with the introduction of AI tools to help create an efficient and effective way of doing depositions in this modern legal landscape. It's a fascinating discussion, and it addresses a lot of other concerns and issues I had when I was a litigator doing deposition. I hope you enjoy.In this episode, Neil and Karl discuss:Why Karl started his firm and Skribe.ai.Changing business from the beginning of your firm to having a more established firm. Introducing and implementing new tech at your firm and with your team. Using technology to improve your law firm. Key Takeaways:If you are starting out, you need to get your name out there and be willing to hit the pavement. Sometimes lowering your rate will get you the work that you want, which can help to reel in larger work later down the road. If you are trying to find the truth, you will be taking many depositions. Using technology to keep them all straight and organized can cut down on the amount of time you are using to review and take them. Using a program like Skribe.ai will allow you to get video deposition, with a transcript for less money and more quickly which can empower attorneys and better serve clients.

Today, my guest is John Mahoney. John is the founder of The Law Offices of John Mahoney, and they focus exclusively on federal employment law, which is a subject area near and dear to my heart being from the Washington, DC area - although, as John quite clearly points out, federal employment laws pertain not only all over the country, but indeed internationally with federal employees being stationed all around the world. It's a fascinating discussion with him about his virtual practice in the federal employment law space and how he was influenced by his father's experience in the industrial area of Worcester, MA. It's an interesting conversation that he and I have, a little bit more in the substantive area of the law than we normally do on this program, but I hope you enjoy listening to John and learning a little bit about how he built a virtual practice in the federal employment law space.In this episode, Neil and John discuss:How John first got interested and involved in employment law. The history of the labor movement, and why labor laws are so important and were created in the first place. Running a virtual law practice with remote employees. Virtual growth practice, law, and sustainability. Key Takeaways:Federal law is not limited geographically - there are federal employees all around the globe. By building a virtual practice, you can attract attorneys from wherever the government is. Many people today take for granted the work that was done by early labor lawyers, unions, and others in the labor movement. Many of the benefits we experience today are because of these individuals. There are ways to build culture and comradery with your team in a virtual environment. Starting with the right people can help. Understanding what your capacity is for yourself and each of your attorneys can help you to have a better understanding of when you need to hire. "These whistleblower retaliation or complaint or grievance retaliation are considered prohibited personnel practices, federal employees cannot be terminated for any of those reasons. And that has stood from 1889 to 2023." — John MahoneyGet in touch with John Mahoney:Website: https://www.attorneymahoney.com/ Phone: 202-350-3881Twitter: https://twitter.com/attorneymahoney Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JPMLawyer LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/john-p.-mahoney-esq.-attorney-at-law YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJFuKuPeMRndDEYxZ7lKdGw Thank you to our sponsors!Ruby Receptionist - Virtual receptionist & live call services that will help you grow your office (and save money), one call at a time - to learn more, go to https://get.ruby.com/TLE or call 844.311.7829The Net Profit CFO - Ryan Kimler works with attorneys who want to enjoy higher net profits without working longer or harder.

This is a classic re-run of my episode with John Pontius. John Pontius is based in Rockville, Maryland, and represents individual and business clients before the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

Jason Rice is a solo practitioner up in the beautiful state of Maine, having left the Sunshine State of Florida to pursue his illegal practice near his wife's hometown was a matter of fact, and he has a family law practice there called Dirigo Divorce. One of the planning tools he used in preparation to go solo was listening to this podcast and recommendations, and so that's very gratifying for me to hear. So I'm thrilled to have him on and to talk about his journey. And as you will see, it's one that I think many of us can relate to, and find inspiration in.In this episode, Neil and Jason discuss:Skills that can help you be a great family law attorney. Collaborative law and mediation. Making the decision and preparing to go solo. How the current housing economics have affected marital homes in divorces. Key Takeaways:No two cases are alike in family law - each family and individual is unique and has their own story that needs to be reflected in the solution. Private mentorship in solo and small firms can help newer attorneys to understand the practice and, eventually, grow their own firms. This would help both the mentor and the mentee. Technology has helped to level the playing field for new attorneys looking to go solo. Working with virtual assistants, remote answering services, and other such staffing options can help you to grow your law firm with less in-person staff than you would have needed previously. "I don't want to become a big law firm, but the technology has really allowed and afforded me the ability to run a practice almost at the same level I was at and where I have seen others at with multiple staff members." — Jason RiceGet in touch with Jason Rice:Website: https://www.dirigo-divorce.com/ Email: jrice@dirigo-divorce.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/JasonRiceESQ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DirigoDivorce LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonmrice/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dirigo_divorce/ Thank you to our sponsors!Ruby Receptionist - Virtual receptionist & live call services that will help you grow your office (and save money), one call at a time - to learn more, go to https://get.ruby.com/TLE or call 844.311.7829The Net Profit CFO - Ryan Kimler works with attorneys who want to enjoy higher net profits without working longer or harder.

Today, my guest, Peter Smith, founded a law firm in beautiful Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Peter's firm does a number of things, but much of it is centered around the mining industry. While we don't often talk about specific areas of law on the show, but today it is a fascinating conversation touching on the starting of Peter's firm that focused on creating a different kind of firm, mining law, real estate, and so many other things. It's a great conversation that everyone can take something from. I hope you enjoy! In this episode, Neil and Peter discuss:Staking a mining claim, and how mining ties in with business and real estate. Running your law firm as a business and treating your employees with respect. Creating mentor/mentee relationships in your firm. Evolving your law firm as technology and situations change. Key Takeaways:There is a larger process to actually mining on claimed land that involves multiple groups of people, including the indigenous tribes of the area. Most mining projects today go through vigorous processes to ensure minimal impact on the environment in a way that was not done in the previous centuries. Paying forward in life is what it is all about. Engage your younger attorneys (and even interns) into the work from the beginning and let them follow through on things. It will benefit the business but also benefit the attorney. "If you ask the lawyers that work here, I think they get a real, meaningful experience and they feel very supported. Anyone, at any time, can ask for help from anyone else, and I think they're always willing to give it. And that's something that we defend that vigorously." — Peter SmithGet in touch with Peter Smith:Website: https://www.smithmalek.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pjsiv/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/smith_malek Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/smithmaleklaw/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/6470576/admin/ Thank you to our sponsors!Ruby Receptionist - Virtual receptionist & live call services that will help you grow your office (and save money), one call at a time - to learn more, go to https://get.ruby.com/TLE or call 844.311.7829The Net Profit CFO - Ryan Kimler works with attorneys who want to enjoy higher net profits without working longer or harder.

Today my guest is Katherine Porter. She is a litigation attorney out of Southern California who developed, originally as a side gig, a project management consulting firm that has become more and more of her primary role. We have a really interesting discussion about how project management can be used to understand the workflows, resource allocation, and recognize the bottlenecks in your firm to, ultimately, improve your ability to deliver legal services to your clients. It's a great discussion for law entrepreneurs of any size. Take a listen!In this episode, Neil and Katherine discuss:The science and discipline of project management. Workflow process and customer journeys for law firm consistency.Gaining a visual reference for who is doing the work, for both simple and complex items. Technology for project management. Key Takeaways:Budgets are a key aspect of project management that is becoming more and more important to law firms and to their clients. There is value in creating a workflow chart for all aspects of your law firm, regardless of size. Start with the workflow and other analysis necessary before you create the procedure and process. Doing this will give you a more complete picture of what those procedures need to be from the creation of them. Taking the time to map out the workflow and understand your procedures can be a game-changer for any lawyer. It will also help with better understanding your law firm as a business. "The better you have things mapped out directly, the better your budget is going to be, which is always really important for any size firm to be able to predict what resources they're going to need and also how much the client is going to end up paying for the service." — Katherine PorterGet in touch with Katherine Porter:Website: https://www.theresourcefullawyer.com/ Email: katherine@theresourcefullawyer.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/KPorterJD LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kporterjd/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7gr6wKdRl2PJH0ndmI7xUw Thank you to our sponsors!Ruby Receptionist - Virtual receptionist & live call services that will help you grow your office (and save money), one call at a time - to learn more, go to https://get.ruby.com/TLE or call 844.311.7829The Net Profit CFO - Ryan Kimler works with attorneys who want to enjoy higher net profits without working longer or harder.

Today, I am happy to welcome back Wendy Meadows! If that name seems familiar to you, she was a guest back on Episode 307 talking about time management techniques. This time, I am excited to speak with her primarily about her first book: sparkle and GRIT: Live a Technicolor Life by Finally Finding Balance, Escaping Monotony, and Beating Burnout. Honestly, it is one of the best books I've read on the subject. Wendy is an attorney, a reformed litigator, a mom, a life coach, and now, a best-selling author. She shares insights into her book, the services she offers, and how law firms can help to coach up their employees. It's a great conversation, and I hope you enjoy!In this episode, Neil and Wendy discuss:Wendy's newest title of Best Selling Author and her new book!Challenges addressed in the book. Building in one anchor, then stacking habits from there. Looking at how you are using your limited time for your highest and best value. Key Takeaways:Morning routines do not have to start all at once - it is better to start small and with an anchor of just one thing. As a working parent, it is imperative that you start your day before your kids, otherwise, you are starting behind with your day. Your morning routine will evolve as you grow and evolve. You will get to the point that you do it without realizing it because it is just what your body does. Don't read your email until you are at work - whatever that looks like for you. "Not one of us is perfect. You can follow a morning routine more often than not, and start good habits as early as tomorrow." — Wendy MeadowsGet in touch with Wendy Meadows:WebsiteEmail: wendy@wendysmeadows.com Instagram FacebookLinkedInCheck out her new book here:sparkle & GRIT: Live a Technicolor Life By Finally Finding Balance, Escaping Monotony, and Beating Burnout: https://wendysmeadows.com/home/book/ If you missed it, take a listen to our first episode with Wendy here: https://thelawentrepreneur.com/episodes/307-time-management-in-life-coaching-and-law-with-wendy-meadows/ Thank you to our sponsors!Ruby Receptionist - Virtual receptionist & live call services that will help you grow your office (and save money), one call at a time - to learn more, go to https://get.ruby.com/TLE or call 844.311.7829The Net Profit CFO - Ryan Kimler works with attorneys who want to enjoy higher net profits without working longer or harder.

Today, my guest is Christine McDannell. Christine is a mergers and acquisition specialist and advisor. I wanted to have her on the program today to talk about a subject area that we solo and small firm practitioners don't spend an awful lot of time thinking about - exiting the profession. And I'll freely admit, I'm getting to that point in my life where I'm starting to give that some thought. Having Christine on today, we explore some of the issues about possibly selling a practice or transitioning out of a practice, what we should be doing, how we should be structuring that process, and what I thought would be something that a lot of other folks would like to listen to as well.In this episode, Neil and Christine discuss:Exiting and selling your law firm, no matter how your firm is set up (even if you are a true solo). Different transfer-out strategies and approaches. Positioning your firm as a target for selling. Pros and cons of acquisition for both seller and buyer. Key Takeaways:Many lawyers just fade out when they are ready to retire, but that is not typically the best option for your employees or your clients. If at all possible, you do not want any negative reviews online, especially if you are looking to sell your firm. Even without a brick-and-mortar building, you will still have assets that can be sold - client lists, ongoing revenue, retainers, etc. There are creative options for selling firms, including combining with other law firms for a larger, more tempting package for another lawyer or firm to acquire. "Above and beyond everything is reputation, no matter what. The second would be net profit and your team." — Christine McDannellGet in touch with Christine McDannell:Website: https://themagnoliafirm.co/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/themagnoliafirm Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/themagnoliafirmco LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christinemcdannell/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themagnoliafirm Thank you to our sponsors!Ruby Receptionist - Virtual receptionist & live call services that will help you grow your office (and save money), one call at a time - to learn more, go to https://get.ruby.com/TLE or call 844.311.7829The Net Profit CFO - Ryan Kimler works with attorneys who want to enjoy higher net profits without working longer or harder.

I am pleased to welcome back, Janet Falk. While we talked previously about PR in episode 199, in our conversation today, we're going to talk about another aspect of services that she provides - marketing and communications services. Specifically, we're going to address the 25 things you should do to get the most out of the next conference you go to, whether it's a legal conference, a bar association meeting, or some other public event where you're going to be in and around people. Janet has a lot of great tips, but there are a couple that really blew me away that I think are completely exceptional and really relevant for us, as solo practitioners. In this episode, Neil and Janet discuss:How public relations has changed in a post-COVID world. Understanding who might be a good networking contact for you. Building a better business card (or business card substitute). Maximizing your time at the conference (hint - it requires pre-prep and follow-up). Key Takeaways:You need to be available and present in the spaces people are in - comment on LinkedIn, connect through the virtual world, and be willing to meeting digitally. While the speakers are great, connect with others who are attending the conference - get to know them and use it as a networking opportunity. There is value in the transition periods and socials.Finding commonalities with other people is a great way to introduce yourself and make an initial connection with someone you're wanting to meet or reconnect with. Turn off devices and strike up conversations with those around you. There are opportunities all around you at conferences if you are open and aware of them. Alternately, use your device to take selfies with others as a later connection point. "I think that a lot of people would do well to have, either in addition to or as a substitute for a business card, this business card sized item that they can give away." — Janet FalkGet your Falk Four-Panel Business Card Giveaway PDF Here Get in touch with Janet Falk:Website TwitterFacebook LinkedInIf you missed it, check out the previous episode with Janet here!

Today, my guest is Alexandra Watkins. Alexandra has a company based around her website, EatMyWords.com - which you'll understand once you listen to the podcast - she is a naming specialist, that nuanced and niched aspect of copywriting where people come up with names for companies, services, and products (you ever heard of the Baconator from Wendy's? Well, Alexandra is the one who named it). We have a delightful conversation about brand names she's developed for law firms. As we think about branding, or even rebranding our law firms, it's never really been easier to do that if you're so inclined. This is an important topic to cover, and Alexandra shares some great information. In this episode, Neil and Alexandra discuss:Naming and branding your law firm.Creating a marketable and sellable brand for your firm. How SMILE and SCRATCH can help you select the best name for your firm. Creative strategies for making your name pop. Key Takeaways:If your name is difficult, you may not want to name your firm after yourself - it can be hard for potential clients to find you if they can't spell it.If a name makes you scratch your head, scratch it off your list. People remember words and names that they have an association with. If you're buying a domain with a difficultly spelled word, buy the common misspellings as well and have them redirect to your correct website. "Your name shouldn't be ambiguous. Nothing about your business should be ambiguous." — Alexandra WatkinsGet in touch with Alexandra Watkins:Website: https://eatmywords.com/ Book: https://eatmywords.com/brand-names-book/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/eatmywords LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexandrawatkins/ Thank you to our sponsors!Ruby Receptionist - Virtual receptionist & live call services that will help you grow your office (and save money), one call at a time - to learn more, go to https://get.ruby.com/TLE or call 844.311.7829The Net Profit CFO - Ryan Kimler works with attorneys who want to enjoy higher net profits without working longer or harder.

Today, my guest is Fern Chan. Fern is an author, a presenter, speaker, course developer, and trainer working with people like us, attorneys, and others for the purposes of helping you become a more dynamic presenter, so that you never lose your audience. As attorneys, we're always communicators - we are always charged with the responsibility of getting a story or getting up point across, whether it be to the Bar Association audience, your local community, opposing counsel, a jury or a judge. Communication is what we do business it, it's how we get our points across. Learning to become a better presenter, particularly if you have structured presentations, is a skill set that really helps to set attorneys apart. Fern has so much to share and I'm sure you'll enjoy!In this episode, Neil and Fern discuss:Fern's professional journey and how she transformed her own communication and presentation skills. Captivating your audience and clearly communicating your message. How to do a self-assessment of your presentation skills. Laying the foundation and clearly communicating the information. Key Takeaways:Nobody wants to listen to a presentation that is a long PowerPoint full of words that the presenter just reads. Your ability to communicate is central to your ability to excel as an attorney - whether with clients, in the courtroom, or with other attorneys. When practicing, try to find an audience who doesn't know your industry - if they can understand it, you've nailed it. There is an art to communication and storytelling. You can't just jump in the middle, your audience needs to know the purpose of your presentation. "There's always somebody in the audience who's listening to you for the first time or getting this information for first time. They need to know what on earth is happening - it's classic storytelling, right? You don't just jump into the middle, people have to know what the plot is about." — Fern ChanEpisode References: Videosocials - https://videosocials.net/ Join Fern for Solve the Crime of Death by PowerPoint on Fri, 13 Oct 2023 at 12 PM EST, and craft an unforgettable presentation! https://fernchan.com/ Get in touch with Fern Chan:Website: https://fernchan.com/ Book: How to NOT Suck at Presentations - https://www.amazon.com/How-NOT-Suck-Presentations-Presentation-ebook/dp/B09G1XNDYN/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/fernchanauthor LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/fernchan/ Thank you to our sponsors!Ruby Receptionist - Virtual receptionist & live call services that will help you grow your office (and save money), one call at a time - to learn more, go to https://get.ruby.com/TLE or call 844.311.7829The Net Profit CFO - Ryan Kimler works with attorneys who want to enjoy higher net profits without working longer or harder.

With spooky season upon us, we are cracking out the old scary movies. One of which is The Exorcist, but we can't leave well enough alone and needed to know the real story. Was Anneliese Michel truly possessed like she claimed despite her not fitting the criteria or was this a case of a mental health issue before it's time. One thing is for sure, Hollywood for sure added their own touches to make her seem possessed.

Today, my guest is Amber Saunders. Amber is an attorney with her own firm, The Saunders Firm in Atlanta, Georgia. She started out, like many of us, thinking she was going to do one type of law, then ended up doing something completely different - now focusing primarily on estate planning and business law in the Atlanta area. We talk about that journey, and the intersection between those two practice areas. Amber is very candid about the mistakes that she made and the hurdles she had to overcome, and how almost all of them were centered around her, and I think that's a lesson that we can all learn a great deal from.In this episode, Neil and Amber discuss:Different workplace models for law firms. The relationship between estate planning and succession planning. Learning to be a good employer.Setting expectations, building SOPs, and properly communicating with your team. Key Takeaways:Having a will and your documents in place well before you pass will make things so much easier for your family and organization after you pass. Procrastination is one of the biggest challenges facing estate planning attorneys - everybody thinks they're going to have more time. Learning to lead a business is a practice - you have to learn to be a good employer in order to attract and retain good employees. Being a solo firm lawyer, you are still a business. You need to pay attention to the reports and other financials. It is a business that needs to be monitored. "I screwed up a lot. I went to therapy and realized, we can't be everyone else.

This is a classic rerun of my episode with Lexlee Overton. Today we're covering a slightly different type of topic, but a critical topic for both attorneys and entrepreneurs: how to improve your outlook and mindset through the use of mindfulness meditation.Our guest, Lexlee Overton is a 5th generation lawyer (that's right – her parents, her parent's parents, and her parent's parent's parents, and her parent's parent's parent's parents were all trial attorneys) who has seen firsthand the impact that being an attorney can have on someone's physical and mental health. So she founded Mind Over Law to help other attorneys learn scientifically proven techniques for releasing stress, anxiety, and fear – without changing professions.Get in touch with Lexlee Overton:Website: https://mindoverlaw.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/LexleeOverton Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/mindoverlaw/ Thank you to our sponsors!Ruby Receptionist - Virtual receptionist & live call services that will help you grow your office (and save money), one call at a time - to learn more, go to https://get.ruby.com/TLE or call 844.311.7829The Net Profit CFO - Ryan Kimler works with attorneys who want to enjoy higher net profits without working longer or harder.

This is a classic rerun of our episode with Neen James. Neen is a leadership and attention expert known for delivering high-energy keynote presentations that challenge audiences to leverage their focus and pay attention to what matters most at work and in life – and the value of attention is exactly what we're going to be talking about today.Neen recently wrote a new book, Attention Pays: How to Drive Profitability, Productivity, and Accountability, in which she argues that we live in an attention-deficit society and that by having more intentional attention in our actions and relationships with others, we can improve our profitability, productivity, and accountability. Plus, I know that you all will be delighted by her personality, wisdom, and Australian charm.Neen is also generous enough to offer Law Entrepreneur listeners a FREE gift: you can get a sample chapter for Attention Pays and a copy of her 5-Step Attention Challenge by going to thelawentrepreneur.com/neenjames.Episode Reference: How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale CarnegieGet in touch with Neen James:Website: https://neenjames.com/ Book: Attention Pays: How to Drive Profitability, Productivity, and AccountabilityYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/AussieNeen Twitter: https://twitter.com/neenjames Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NeenJamesCommunications LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/neenjames Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/neenjames/ Thank you to our sponsors!Ruby Receptionist - Virtual receptionist & live call services that will help you grow your office (and save money), one call at a time - to learn more, go to https://get.ruby.com/TLE or call 844.311.7829The Net Profit CFO - Ryan Kimler works with attorneys who want to enjoy higher net profits without working longer or harder.

I'm really excited to have Joshua Lastine on the show today. Joshua is an entertainment law attorney, and as many of you know, I'm connected to the entertainment industry through my daughter who is a professional actress at the musical theatre world on the west coast. So I've seen a lot of what goes on in the entertainment world from the performers side and from the creative side, but very little about what is behind the curtain on the legal side. Joshua has worked with all the big entities in that arena. He started his practice right after the pandemic and he has built that up and three years since was built into a thriving entertainment law practice. So it's a great opportunity for me to talk about two things that I like a lot, solo and small firm practitioners and the entertainment industry. And there's no better representative of that intersection than Joshua Lastine. I hope you enjoy. In this episode, Neil and Joshua discuss:Overcoming adversity in entertainment and/or law. Tenacity and anti-fragility. Starting a solo practice during lockdown. Maintaining relationships to stay top of mind. Key Takeaways:Life is about leveling up and the journey it takes to get there, not the final location. It takes different types of lawyers for different types of work that need to be done. If someone declines working with you, it would just be a different personality match. Network early in your law school experience, especially if you know what area of law you are looking to go into. Find a way to organize your contacts into different levels of importance to you and your business and make sure to stay in contact with and top of mind for those people. "For every battle I have, I just gain that much more experience and become that much better of an attorney." — Joshua LastineGet in touch with Joshua Lastine:Website: https://lastinelaw.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lastinelaw/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Lastineimpressions/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshua-r-lastine-b3632b42/ Thank you to our sponsors!Ruby Receptionist - Virtual receptionist & live call services that will help you grow your office (and save money), one call at a time - to learn more, go to https://get.ruby.com/TLE or call 844.311.7829The Net Profit CFO - Ryan Kimler works with attorneys who want to enjoy higher net profits without working longer or harder.

Today we are excited to have a returning guest, Brett Trembly, the founder, and CEO of Get Staffed Up. In this conversation, we talk about Brett's newest book, 24 Months to Freedom, and go through some of the chapters which he has laid out like a roadmap on the important positions in your law firm and how to know when and how to hire for them. As founder of Get Staffed Up and a lawyer himself, Brett knows the struggles that lawyers face in this process and I know you'll get a lot out of our conversation today. Enjoy!In this episode, Neil and Brett discuss:Bringing on a staffer to serve your law firm.How a virtual assistant can assist your law firm. Why you need to be doing consistent marketing. The secrets of growth as you bring on additional staffers. Key Takeaways:If you don't have an assistant, you are your assistant. Delegating will allow you to find time freedom that you couldn't do before. Your marketing doesn't need to be perfect - it just needs to be good and be consistent. Having a great system in place to convert clients, such as an intake coordinator, can present the right portrait and impression of your firm.Sourcing your staff from the same company will ensure you know that they are being trained consistently and know how to work together to best serve your clients. "You have to protect your time as an attorney, you have to get rid of it every 10 minutes that you do work, that a $10 an hour assistant shouldn't be doing, you're losing $50." — Brett TremblyGet in touch with Brett Trembly:Website: https://getstaffedup.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/Getstaffedup1 Twitter: https://twitter.com/btrembly Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GetStaffedUp/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/getstaffedup LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bretttrembly/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/getstaffedup/ Check out Brett's Book and other resources at: 24 Months to Freedom: How Modern Law Firms Use Smarter Staffing Solutions to Fast Track Their Way to Success - https://getstaffedup.com/lawentrepreneur/ To hear more from Brett, check out Episode 195 - Staffing Up Your Firm for Faster Growth - with Brett TremblyThank you to our sponsors!Ruby Receptionist - Virtual receptionist & live call services that will help you grow your office (and save money), one call at a time - to learn more, go to https://get.ruby.com/TLE or call 844.311.7829The Net Profit CFO - Ryan Kimler works with attorneys who want to enjoy

Today, my guest is Christine Raniets. Christine is the owner of a company called Peran Design, a design firm that builds brands and helps market businesses, particularly for solo and small firm law practices. And, even more specifically, for women-owned or female-based law firms. In our conversation, we get into a lot of discussion about what is it that we ought to be looking for as attorneys and as business owners, when we look to hire a design firm to help bring our branding, our marketing, our social media, and all of our design elements together into one cohesive plan. Christine shares a lot of light on the subject and some insights as to how we can go about doing this in a systemic and organized manner. I think you'll get a lot out of it. In this episode, Neil and Christine discuss:A broad-scope approach to branding and image creation. Creative reach outs, both direct and indirect. Integrating design for consistency and cohesion. The changing landscape of marketing and social media. Key Takeaways:Dig deep to understand your story and what problems you're trying to solve. That is a great way to understand what you want your branding to be. Digital is your number one marketing priority, but print is not outdated or unimportant. Social media is king for content. For law firms, you need to be on LinkedIn, have a great profile, post content, and interact with influencers in that space. Short-form video is the key. People want to see you, get to know you and your firm, and connect that way. "I advise you to explore LinkedIn a little bit further. It is the place where people are going. There's content that's incredibly informative, helps you grow your company, webinars are available, and you get immediate notification of people switching jobs so you can be in touch with them. It's such a great resource, and such an important valuable business development tool for law firms." — Christine RanietsGet in touch with Christine Raniets:Website: https://www.perandesign.com/ Email: craniets@perandesign.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christine-raniets-93203560/ Thank you to our sponsors!Ruby Receptionist - Virtual receptionist & live call services that will help you grow your office (and save money), one call at a time - to learn more, go to https://get.ruby.com/TLE or call 844.311.7829The Net Profit CFO - Ryan Kimler works with attorneys who want to enjoy higher net profits without working longer or harder.

Today my guest is Joe Tamburino. Joe is a transplanted New Yorker who moved out to Minneapolis, Minnesota to go to law school and never left the city after that. Today, you're going to hear about his journey. We don't have too many criminal defense attorneys on the on the program so it's really nice to touch base with somebody as well known as Joe and get his observations on some of the nuances of developing a criminal defense for primarily criminal defense, and why some of the things that are necessary in that type of environment are different from say if you were to do a family law, or estate planning or something of that nature. It's a great conversation, and I hope you enjoy listeningIn this episode, Neil and Joe discuss:How trial law is similar to acting. Joe's journey from the prosecutor's office to being a public defender, to opening a private practice. Why criminal lawyers get recruited more often than those doing civil work. Creating a work-life balance as a criminal litigation attorney. Key Takeaways:Being in front of a jury is like being on stage - you have to convey your message not only with your words but also with your body language, you need to know your audience, and you need to know your material. You need to have a good office manager. If they are good with the business administration and are willing to learn, they can be invaluable to growing and managing your firm. If you want to work from home, do not get into criminal litigation. There are factors that will prevent it due to the nature of the field. If you don't know what tech is going to be available in the court room, call the clerk ahead of time. The jury wants something of a tech nature because they expect it and learn well with it. "Really to learn how to manage people because everybody's different. Everybody has their own, pluses and minuses, not everyone can get along, not everyone is friendly. But you try to match that and you try to pick the best people that you can." — Joe TamburinoGet in touch with Joe Tamburino:Website: https://www.caplantamburino.com/ Email: jtamburino@caplanlaw.com Phone: 612-341-4570LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joe-tamburino-78aa5b10/ Thank you to our sponsors!Ruby Receptionist - Virtual receptionist & live call services that will help you grow your office (and save money), one call at a time - to learn more, go to https://get.ruby.com/TLE or call 844.311.7829The Net Profit CFO - Ryan Kimler works with attorneys who want to enjoy higher net profits without working longer or harder.

This is a classic rerun of my episode with Mike Morse. Mike Morse is a superstar personal injury attorney out of Detroit, and he runs one of the biggest and most profitable law firms in the state of Michigan, doing millions of dollars worth of business annually. So what does that have to do with small solo practitioners trying to grow their businesses?Mike has written a book called “Fireproof: A Five-Step Model to Take Your Law Firm from Unpredictable to Wildly Profitable,” and it outlines the system he used to take his successful law firm to stratospheric levels—but the principles are even more readily applied the smaller your firm is.You really should check out his YouTube channel as well. Not everyone, nor most solos, can afford to do the TV commercials that Mike is a master of, but there is a lot to learn regarding how to craft video marketing messages from watching his content.Get in touch with Mike Morse:Website: https://www.855mikewins.com/ Email: mike@855mikewins.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/mikemorselawfirm Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/855mikewins/ Book: Fireproof: A Five-Step Model to Take Your Law Firm from Unpredictable to Wildly ProfitableThank you to our sponsors!Ruby Receptionist - Virtual receptionist & live call services that will help you grow your office (and save money), one call at a time - to learn more, go to https://get.ruby.com/TLE or call 844.311.7829The Net Profit CFO - Ryan Kimler works with attorneys who want to enjoy higher net profits without working longer or harder.

Today, we welcome back Seth Price to the show! I've asked him to come back because he has a ton of information to share with us about some really valuable stuff based on his experience as the founder of a very successful law firm in Washington, D.C., Price Benowitz, and BluShark Digital, which he heads. He's going to give us the lowdown on ChatGPT, where he thinks AI-based platforms and services in the legal space are going, and what the impact will be. Listen in for some truly key information for the future of AI and digital marketing. In this episode, Neil and Seth discuss:Executing replicable fundamentals over time. Why ChatGPT stands out from prior tech evolutions. The pros and cons of ChatGPT (and how to stay out of trouble when using it). How AI might change intro legal positions. Key Takeaways:ChatGPT is not just the next shiny thing - this is the real thing and it is going to be making change. Start to learn it now. Like in all areas, ChatGPT is data in/data out. It will change how we do business, but it does need oversight. As the data is curated and AI is applied against it, that is when the magic happens. The younger generation has a different interface with technology. They are interacting with it in a different way than lawyers currently are in the legal industry and it is changing how lawyers connect with their clients. "ChatGPT is a co-pilot. It is something that is giving us information that, in certain arenas, is incredibly valuable, and almost seems like magic." — Seth PriceGet in touch with Seth Price:Website: https://blusharkdigital.com/ Website: https://pricebenowitz.com/ Email: seth@pricebenowitz.com Phone: 347-661-9999Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/blusharkdigital LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sethprice/ Listen to the previous episode with Seth here!: https://thelawentrepreneur.com/episodes/ep-229-how-to-stand-out-scale-up-with-digital-marketing-with-seth-price/ Thank you to our sponsors!Ruby Receptionist - Virtual receptionist & live call services that will help you grow your office (and save money), one call at a time - to learn more, go to https://get.ruby.com/TLE or call 844.311.7829The Net Profit CFO - Ryan Kimler works with attorneys who want to enjoy higher net profits without working longer or harder.

Today we welcome back an old friend of the show, Joey Coleman! A couple of weeks ago you listened to the classic rewind episode where we talked about Joey's first book and, today, we welcome him back to talk about his newest book, Never Lose an Employee Again, which drops on June 27, 2023! I've said on many occasions that Joey's first book was the single greatest business development book I've ever read - it was the only one that caused me to take massive action. I have no doubt that the same experience is going to happen with his newest book. So listen in and learn how you can create remarkable experiences for your customers, your employees, and yourself. I hope you enjoy! In this episode, Neil and Joey discuss:Creating remarkable experiences. Taking actionable tips to never lose an employee or a customer again. The challenge faced in keeping employees globally and how COVID affected that challenge. Creating a better environment than what you originally experienced. The evolving landscape of remote work, workplace competition, and empathetic leadership. Key Takeaways:Employee experience has a lot of underlying principles and traits that can be applied across all cultures because, at the root, everyone is human. Regardless of the size of your firm, the underlying principles and systems you use should work whether you're hiring your first employee or your thousandth employee. Post-COVID, the world of employer/employee-relationship has changed dramatically and it will never return to the way it was before. Human interactions within the enclave of the work environment are the culture. It is more than the accouterments around the office and the relationships within the workplace. "Your customer experience is only ever going to be as great as your employee experience. As you improve the customer experience, the employee experience goes up. As the employee experience falls, so does the customer experience." — Joey ColemanGet in touch with Joey Coleman:Website: https://joeycoleman.com/ Book: https://joeycoleman.com/book/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/thejoeycoleman Never Lose an Employee Again: https://www.amazon.com/Never-Lose-Employee-Again-Remarkable/dp/059354238X Thank you to our sponsors!Ruby Receptionist - Virtual receptionist & live call services that will help you grow your office (and save money), one call at a time - to learn more, go to https://get.ruby.com/TLE or call 844.311.7829The Net Profit CFO - Ryan Kimler works with attorneys who want to enjoy higher net profits without working longer or harder.

Today my guest is Jodie Zerega. Jodie is the owner of a legal recruiting firm operating out of Sarasota, Florida. As the name implies, they provide all types of recruiting services in the legal space for attorneys, or law firms looking to hire attorneys, and frankly, for attorneys looking to be hired by law firms. In addition, they recently started a division, catering to the needs of recruiting law firm staff, such as paralegals and administrative staff. As I go around the country listening to people talk about their concerns about the business of law, the recurring theme that I hear over and over again is the difficulty in firing in hiring good help, good attorneys, and good staff. So using a legal recruiting firm, like Zerega Consulting, might solve that issue and that's one of the reasons I wanted to have Jodie on the podcast. So without any further delay, let's learn a little bit about legal recruiting with Jodie Zerega. In this episode, Neil and Jodie discuss:The evolution of what law firms are looking for when hiring an employee. Hot topics in legal recruiting in 2023. Compensation when working with a legal recruiter. Hiring and retaining legal staff. Key Takeaways:Understanding why there is a need is vital for your recruiter to understand so they can look to hire the right person for your firm. You want your recruiter to curate the resume list that you receive. If you want piles of resumes, you can get that yourself without a recruiter. The Attorney Jobs App by Zerega Consulting will allow you to save time, if you are searching for a new opportunity, by providing you only with jobs for attorneys and keeping your information private. If you have a legal staffing problem, you need to look at whether or not the nature of the job you're trying to recruit for is attractive. "It's really become a candidates market, which puts the law firms in a very precarious situation." — Jodie ZeregaGet in touch with Jodie Zerega:Website: https://www.zeregaconsulting.com/ Attorney Jobs App: https://www.zeregaconsulting.com/attorney-jobs Email: jzerega@zeregaconsulting.com Phone: 404-660-3414LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodie-zerega-8265586/ Thank you to our sponsors!Ruby Receptionist - Virtual receptionist & live call services that will help you grow your office (and save money), one call at a time - to learn more, go to https://get.ruby.com/TLE or call 844.311.7829The Net Profit CFO - Ryan Kimler works with attorneys who want to enjoy higher net profits without working longer or harder.

Today, my guest is John Hinson who works with Spotlight Branding, a digital marketing agency that focuses primarily on solo and small law firms. I wanted to have John back on the podcast today to talk about some of the issues revolving around how the marketplace has changed as a result of COVID, what has happened to law firms since then, and how that influences their approach to marketing. We then revisit some ideas about marketing, funnels, and all that good stuff. Hope you enjoy!In this episode, Neil and John discuss:Marketing funnels and content loops. Where law firms fall short in their marketing process. Providing valuable education in your monthly newsletter. Actionable tips for better marketing, newsletters, and social media. Key Takeaways:Losing contact with the people already in your network and funnel is throwing business down the drain. Maintaining relationships and contact can help with referrals and repeat business. Turn your marketing funnels into loops - don't have a start and an ending, keep contacts circling through your content loop. Create an updraft and reenergize your contacts. While automation is great, having a personal touch can shake up the connection and give strength to that contact. People are consuming short-form content. This is where more value can be generated for your law firm and your potential clients. "There's value in that consistent loop and just creating ongoing touchpoints that keep you in front of people and keep you top of mind." — John HinsonGet in touch with John Hinson:Website: https://spotlightbranding.com/ The Law Firm Marketing Minute: https://spotlightbranding.com/the-law-firm-marketing-minute/ Center Stage: https://spotlightbranding.com/center-stage/ Spotlight Insider: https://spotlightbranding.com/insider/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhinson/ Thank you to our sponsors!Ruby Receptionist - Virtual receptionist & live call services that will help you grow your office (and save money), one call at a time - to learn more, go to https://get.ruby.com/TLE or call 844.311.7829The Net Profit CFO - Ryan Kimler works with attorneys who want to enjoy higher net profits without working longer or harder.

This is a classic rerun of my episode with Joey Coleman. Joey Coleman is an author, keynote speaker, advisor, coach, and a former attorney. He wrote a book called “Never Lose a Customer Again” — and if you only read one book this year, it should be that. It was a Wall Street Journal best-seller and lays out a remarkably clear description of the customer experience from when they first came into contact with you to when they become a raving fan of yours. He gives you a structured approach to this process that is incredibly easy to follow, and I think implementing these principles will make a significant difference in your law practice.Get in touch with Joey ColemanWebsite: https://joeycoleman.com/ Book: https://joeycoleman.com/book/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/thejoeycoleman Thank you to our sponsors!Ruby Receptionist - Virtual receptionist & live call services that will help you grow your office (and save money), one call at a time - to learn more, go to https://get.ruby.com/TLE or call 844.311.7829The Net Profit CFO - Ryan Kimler works with attorneys who want to enjoy higher net profits without working longer or harder.

Today, my guest is Shelby Bothun. We don't really spend that much time talking about the substitute aspects of law, but Shelby is a lawyer in North Dakota who focuses on estate planning in the agricultural community. And owes it to her roots as an agricultural insurance agent and the fact that her family has been in the agricultural business for a couple of generations now. What I find fascinating is to learn how much I didn't know, frankly, about the agricultural business on a large scale in the Midwest. Many people have this romanticized version of what a farmer or what it means to be a farmer, but really, I should think, more along the lines of a big corporate business owner, because that's what farmers are. This is a fascinating conversation, and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. In this episode, Neil and Shelby discuss:Why an agricultural economics degree is so marketable in the Midwest. The importance of service in an industry with identical products. Facilitating the transfer of wisdom, not just assets. Working around the crop seasons to best serve clients. Key Takeaways:There are generational benefits to having a proper succession plan for your agricultural estate. The farm transition is going to be emotional for both parties. Working with an estate planner can help to ease the transition and make it more successful. Get an undergraduate degree in what you are passionate about and want to focus on in law school. In a farming community, land is the most valuable resource. "Most farmers want to leave a legacy. It is a livelihood, it is a career, it is not just a job." — Shelby BothunGet in touch with Shelby Bothun:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shelby-g-bothun-esq-21428316a/ Website: http://www.progressiveag.com/ Thank you to our sponsors!Ruby Receptionist - Virtual receptionist & live call services that will help you grow your office (and save money), one call at a time - to learn more, go to https://get.ruby.com/TLE or call 844.311.7829The Net Profit CFO - Ryan Kimler works with attorneys who want to enjoy higher net profits without working longer or harder.

Today, we welcome back Mark Rockwell to The Law Entrepreneur. What Mark does is help solo and small, firm practitioners. Now he's an attorney by trade, but most of his adult life in business and I think that gives him a little different insight into challenges faced by solo and small firms. Because of that, he brings a different approach to coaching those law practitioners. We have a great conversation today about time tracking, charging what you're worth, and creating an open and honest environment with both your clients and those working in your law firm. Listen in for some great takeaways to help you run a more successful firm today. In this episode, Neil and Mark discuss:Challenges solo and small firm law firms face. Setting out expectations and scope of work with your client. Keeping on top of your accounts receivable and your time. Tracking time, managing distractions, and avoiding incorrect time reporting. Key Takeaways:Nobody wants to gouge their clients, but if the client understands the value that is created and the work that is involved, they will be more willing to pay you for what you are worth. If you let your AR go too far, you will go from a big, well-paying client to a pro bono client very quickly. Interruptions are destructive to billable time and will be fatal financially. If you do not bill the number of hours in a day that you expected and planned for, you need to understand where that time is going and what activities are pulling you away from that time. Without knowing what those habits and problems are, there will be no change. "At the end of the day, when lawyers aren't billing enough, it's a lack of confidence. I believe that in billing and capturing all your time, you have to be confident that you are creating value, the total number of hours that you're going to have billed against this project is going to be met with the acceptance of the client, and they're going to be willing to pay the bill. That is why it goes back to that upfront conversation of managing expectations and understanding the value that is being created." — Mark RockwellGet in touch with Mark Rockwell:Website: https://coachrockwell.com/ Email: Mark@coachrockwell.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/coachrockwell Listen to Episode 277 with Mark Rockwell here: https://thelawentrepreneur.com/episodes/277-law-is-not-just-a-profession-its-a-business-with-mark-rockwell/ Thank you to our sponsors!Ruby Receptionist - Virtual receptionist & live call services that will help you grow your office (and save money), one call at a time - to learn more, go to https://get.ruby.com/TLE or call 844.311.7829The Net Profit CFO - Ryan Kimler works with attorneys who want to enjoy higher net profits without working longer or harder.

Today, my guest is Steph Tuss. Steph is the CEO of a company called Light Is Now, a consulting company that works with small firms and businesses, including law firms, to help them grow, prosper, and to give time back to those who are leading those endeavors to live their best life. We had her business partner, David Neagle, on last year and I wanted to have Steph on because she has more of the hands-on, tactical role in their company, whereas David is the more visionary individual, and so I wanted to kind of complete the picture with her. She gives some great tips and you will get some great takeaways. In this episode, Neil and Steph discuss:Understanding why you don't do the things you know you need to do. Utilizing an integrator in your business to focus on your areas of genius. Putting dissatisfaction into action. Working with your team not controlling and micromanaging. Key Takeaways:There are two parts to change: awareness and applying new behaviors. If you don't hire the right people, it will be harder for your business to succeed. Your team is only as good as your worst player. Set your team up for success from the beginning. Until you have the right things in your business, you don't know if you are stifling your A-Players. Be willing to pay for one person who can do the jobs you need done well, rather than spending less on multiple people who will do it less well. "You've got to start employing new behaviors because that's the only way that change actually occurs. If you just have the awareness, nothing changes, nothing happens. You have to show up differently, which means you have to act differently." — Steph TussEpisode References: The Law Entrepreneur - Understanding the Art of Leverage with David Neagle: https://thelawentrepreneur.com/episodes/333-understanding-the-art-of-leverage-with-david-neagle/ No Rules Rules by Reed Hastings: https://www.amazon.com/No-Rules-Netflix-Culture-Reinvention/dp/B0845Z14DX/ Get in touch with Steph Tuss:Website: https://www.lifeisnowinc.com/ Successful Mind Podcast: https://www.successfulmindpodcast.com/ Instagram: https://instagram.com/stephtuss Thank you to our sponsors!Ruby Receptionist - Virtual receptionist & live call services that will help you grow your office (and save money), one call at a time - to learn more, go to https://get.ruby.com/TLE or call 844.311.7829The Net Profit CFO - Ryan Kimler works with attorneys who want to enjoy higher net profits without working longer or harder.

My guest today is Corey Kupfer. Corey is an attorney that deals with mostly high-level business law, mergers, acquisitions, deal-making, and all that good stuff. But he's also a highly sought-after and well-recognized content creator in the area of deal-making, has authored a book, and is the host of the very popular DealQuest Podcast. We have a broad discussion today about how he entered the practice of law, how he built his business, and about one of his passion projects - bringing diversity into the legal, entrepreneurial, and business development spaces. To Corey, diversity is more than just a buzzword, it is something that he lives fully and completely every day. I hope you enjoy it. In this episode, Neil and Corey discuss:Looking at negotiations as the start of a relationship. AI in the legal industry. Creating authority with content and authority marketing. Living authentically and the business case for diversity. Key Takeaways:There are always deals that are happening, they are just going to be different during a recession or other hard times. It takes a conscious effort and plan to expose yourself to different groups, get comfortable in circles not of your own, and to put yourself out there. You will make mistakes. Continue to learn, continue to grow, and learn to apologize when you are in the wrong. If you are writing a book, make sure you aren't writing an article with 150 extra pages. Write your book with the intention of sharing the information you don't want to take with you to the grave that can help better serve your audience. "It takes more than an openness, it takes a conscious effort and plan to get yourself out there and expose yourself more to different groups, learn cultures, get comfortable, and build trust. The best way that we grow our businesses is that we build trust and more and more people who feel comfortable with us will give us business in return." — Corey KupferGet in touch with Corey Kupfer:Website: https://www.coreykupfer.com/ Website: https://www.kupferlaw.com/ Book: https://www.coreykupfer.com/the-book DealQuest Podcast: https://www.coreykupfer.com/podcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/coreykupfer Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CoreyKupfer/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/coreykupfer/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coreykupfer/ Thank you to our sponsors!Ruby Receptionist - Virtual receptionist & live call services that will help you grow your office (and save money), one call at a time - to learn more, go to https://get.ruby.com/TLE or call 844.311.7829The Net Profit CFO - Ryan Kimler works with attorneys who want to enjoy higher net profits without working longer or...

Today my guest is Sarah Allen. Sarah is the partner account manager for Ruby Receptionists - the same company that is a sponsor for this podcast and has been for many, many years. In terms of full disclosure, I was a client of Ruby long before I started the podcast, and so it was a natural connection there when they agreed to become a sponsor and have been from near the beginning of this podcast. But Ruby has evolved over the years. And they recently really went through a management shake-up and they've added a bunch of features that they didn't have at the time when I first started with Ruby. We've had a feel representative from Ruby back in the day when we talk just about Virtual Receptionist. Today, we talk about why Ruby is such a great company, and why the services offered are so appropriate for solo and small firm practitioners. So without any further delay, here is my friend Sarah Allen.In this episode, Neil and Sarah discuss:What Ruby does for law firms. Capturing more client calls and standing out with your client experience. Utilizing the calls you're receiving to track your marketing strategies. The importance of having live chat on your website to better serve your clients. Key Takeaways:The number one thing you should do if you are looking to automate and grow your law practice is to hire a virtual receptionist. Your virtual receptionist can do more than you are likely allowing them to do. As they work with you, they will get to know you and your firm and will be able to serve your clients better.Your website is your new front door - that is where people are coming to meet you, learn about your service offerings, and learn more about what they need. It takes a lot of moving parts to run a business, which is what your law firm is. Utilizing a virtual receptionist, like Ruby, will save you time, save you effort, and free you up to do the important work that only you can do. "Every call is more than just a conversation, it's more than just answering the phone. There's a lot more that goes into handling all those calls, and everything that goes along with them." — Sarah AllenGet in touch with Sarah Allen:Website: https://get.ruby.com/TLE LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarahcallen/ Thank you to our sponsors!Ruby Receptionist - Virtual receptionist & live call services that will help you grow your office (and save money), one call at a time - to learn more, go to https://get.ruby.com/TLE or call 844.311.7829The Net Profit CFO - Ryan Kimler works with attorneys who want to enjoy higher net profits without working longer or harder.
