What happens when a lawyer stops thinking like a prosecutor—and starts thinking like a business owner?

In this episode, Pat Miller sits down with Damian Conforti, a former prosecutor turned trusted corporate counsel, to unpack what it really means to practice the business of law. Damian shares how relearning law through an entrepreneurial lens transformed the way he advises CEOs, founders, and leadership teams facing real-world operational and governance challenges.

In this conversation, you'll hear about:

• Why effective legal counsel requires an entrepreneurial mindset
• The difference between practicing law for businesses vs. with business leaders
• How CEOs can leverage lawyers as strategic partners—not just problem solvers
