Many lawyers know they need to delegate. Far fewer actually do it in a way that leads to real growth. In episode 616 of the Lawyerist Podcast, Chad Fox sits down with Ellen Williamson to explore what it looks like to build a law firm that doesn't rely on you for every decision. Ellen breaks down the mindset shift from being the person who does the work to the person who leads it. She shares how she moved from handling every task herself to creating systems, training her team, and trusting others to take ownership of client work. The conversation also explores why delegation can feel inefficient in the short term, how to think about the long-term payoff, and what it takes to build a team that can think, not just execute. If you want to scale your firm without burning out or becoming the constant bottleneck, this episode offers a clearer way to approach delegation, leadership, and sustainable growth.

Knowing how clever parrots are, researchers wanted to see how they'd respond to another parrot saying hi on a tablet or phone. After being trained how to start a call, many parrots chatted amiably on calls and stayed on for the maximum amount of time. Some birds even seemed to develop friendships, choosing to stay in touch even after the experiment ended.

You're booking weddings — but your income still isn't growing the way you want it to. If you've ever done the math and realized the only way to make more is to take on more, this episode is for you.Shayna is here to tell you something important: charging more doesn't have to mean booking more. In this episode, she reframes how you think about your offer completely — from a photography package with an optional video add-on, into a stronger, more complete experience that naturally justifies a higher price. This is not about convincing clients to spend more. It's about building something worth more.No awkward pitch. No forcing video on people who don't want it. No burning yourself out.

12 points to kill a Russian soldier, 40 points to blow up a Russian tank — These are some of the points rankings in a new incentive program for Ukrainian drone operators, who can now compete for points against other units and cash their points in to buy new weapons. Ukrainian officials say this program is helping maintain motivation in a war that is coming up to four years, but others have questioned the ethics of equating points to lives and incentivizing killing.
This week's guest on The Publisher Podcast is Juliet Riddell, Head of New Formats at the Financial Times. Her focus is on telling stories using video, and she spoke to Peter following the September release of the 13-minute film, Recall Me, Maybe, written by comedian David Baddiel and starring Stephen Fry and Gemma Whelan. Juliet talks about why a news organisation like the FT is making this type of drama, the other films in the FT's Standpoint series, and the power of external collaborations in bringing new perspectives to big issues.

Late last year, OpenAI reportedly tried to buy Medal and its vast trove of video game data for $500M. Today, the company spun out a frontier research lab that's using that data to build AI agents that understand how they move through space and time, a concept called spatial-temporal reasoning. Also, electric aviation startup Beta Technologies has priced shares for its initial public offering between $27 and $33, in hopes of raising as much as $825 million, according to a regulatory document filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. If the company attracts investors at the top of that range it will debut with a valuation of about $7.2 billion. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

When Luke Murphy was growing up in rural Kerry, his father, a chemistry lecturer and environmental scientist, had a habit of turning even the simplest questions into full-scale lessons. "Ask about water testing and you'd get a deep dive into inorganic chemistry. It was fascinating, but also totally overwhelming," Murphy recalls. "It really made me think about how hard it is for experts to communicate the value of what they do." Waking Dreams from County Kerry Years later, that early insight would become the foundation for Waking Dreams Media, the Dublin-based video production company Murphy founded in January 2021. What began as a solo venture during the bleakest days of Ireland's third pandemic lockdown has since evolved into a growing team. Today, Waking Dreams Media delivers strategic video communications for some of the country's most technically complex businesses. But Murphy insists this is not a story about creative cinematography or camera gear. Instead, his team's work is about making complicated ideas easier to grasp. In particular, he's found a sweet spot in helping founders and teams who are building the kinds of products that don't yet have a ready-made market, or whose value can't be easily summed up in a single sentence. "These aren't off-the-shelf products," Murphy explains. "They're innovations, often emerging from research, deep tech, or life sciences. The challenge is not just showing what the product does, but helping someone who's never seen anything like it before understand why it matters." From the story of a gravestone to the story of a product Murphy's entrepreneurial streak showed up early. While completing a degree in Film and Media at UCC, he worked freelance behind the camera to support himself. He also co-founded a startup called The Story Of, a business that used QR codes to link gravestones with short videos about a person's life. The concept gained serious traction, even attracting media attention in Australia. But what Murphy took from that experience wasn't just media momentum. It was clarity about what he actually enjoyed. "I realised I was less interested in being the founder of a tech company than I was in helping tech companies communicate what they do," he says. "I loved the storytelling side, especially when it meant getting to grips with something complex and making it accessible." This impulse shaped the vision for Waking Dreams Media. Today, the company works with clients ranging from UCC Innovation and Blockchain Ireland to SMEs building smart RFID tools or pharmaceutical spinouts. Several of the startups they've supported have gone on to raise high six-figure funding rounds and land enterprise contracts. And they've often usd the videos in pitch decks and investor meetings. In one instance, a multinational client saw over 100,000 organic impressions from a single video campaign. "We start with messaging, not cameras" According to Murphy, the biggest misconception about video production is that it's simply about visuals. "People often assume video means showing up with a camera and recording whatever's there. But that's not how it works when you're dealing with complex B2B products. You can't explain a semiconductor startup the same way you'd shoot a wedding." Devising a strategy is the first stage of every project Murphy takes on. Murphy's team works with clients to clarify their core messaging, and ask questions. What changes in the customer's daily life if they use this product? What makes it different from what already exists? Why should a buyer or investor trust you? That messaging document becomes the foundation for everything else, not just the video but the website, sales deck and investor materials. It is a tool for internal alignment as much as external explanation. As Murphy puts it, "It's not about polishing a script. It's about revealing the story that already exists." Clients say the results speak for themselves. One founder described their Waking Dreams video as "...
