About this listen
Business owners call lawyers most often after a problem explodes contracts go sideways, terminations go wrong, partners fall out. In this episode, Kevin Eddins, Co-founder and Partner at Eddins Dominion Law Group in Louisville/St. Matthews, explains why the smartest move is proactive counsel on the front end when it’s cheaper, calmer, and far more controllable.
Kevin shares how he grew from associate to entrepreneur, the identity shift from “lawyer doing the work” to “owner building the firm,” and the culture he insists on: humility over hierarchy, collaboration over ego, and getting the right people on the bus. He walks through hiring beyond the conference room, building a network that actually sends business, and the uncomfortable but necessary choice to pull the ripcord and bet on yourself.
You’ll learn: practical moments when to engage counsel, how to think about team fit, what real networking looks like, and a simple mantra for anyone debating a big move: overcome inertia and go.
If you’re a founder, operator, or professional considering your next leap, this conversation will give you both the mindset and the moves to do it wisely.
