  • #10 - Why We Built Lawft: The Law Firm Software We Couldn’t Find
    Mar 13 2026

    In Episode 10 of Tapped In, Anna Summersett and Benson Varghese break down the real story behind Lawft—the law practice management platform built to help lawyers and law firms grow.

    What started as frustration with existing legal software turned into something much bigger: a platform designed not just to manage cases, but to solve the real problems growing firms face every day. From reporting gaps and scattered data to disconnected systems and missed efficiencies, this episode covers the pain points that pushed them to build Lawft from the ground up.

    They also talk about what makes Lawft different, why timing mattered, how AI and automations fit into the platform, and who Lawft is really built for. If you’ve ever felt like your current software helps you survive but not actually scale, this episode will probably hit home.

  • #9 - When to Niche Down vs Expand (And Why Most Firms Get It Wrong)
    Feb 23 2026

    In Episode 9 of Tapped In, Anna Summersett and Benson Varghese break down one of the most common growth decisions for law firm owners: should you niche down—or expand?

    They unpack the myths that keep firms stuck (like “niching down means turning away too many cases”), explain how firms can grow while still getting more specialized, and share the real reasons most expansions fail: hiring the wrong people, chasing trends, and expanding before the firm has the systems, runway, or clarity to support it.

    You’ll also hear the practical framework they use to decide whether a new practice area, new market, or new growth initiative is actually smart: Alignment, Capacity, Clarity, and Demand—plus the overlooked “fifth filter” that tends to drive everything: the right person.

    If you’re in a focus season or a growth season, this episode will help you make the decision with confidence—and avoid the mistakes that cost most firms years.

  • #8 - New Year, New You: Reflection, Accountability & Intentional Growth
    Feb 4 2026

    In Episode 8 of Tapped In, Anna Summersett and Benson Varghese take a different approach to New Year’s resolutions—starting with honest reflection before chasing change.

    They talk through what actually worked over the past year, what was tolerated for too long, and why real progress often comes from removing misalignment, not adding more tasks. From leadership accountability and productivity to fitness, wellness, and intentional relationship-building, this episode focuses on redefining success beyond pure output and revenue.

    You’ll also hear how small, consistent changes can have outsized impact, why attorneys struggle with burnout, and how shifting from a task-based existence to identity-based growth can reshape both your firm and your personal life.

    If you’re heading into the new year feeling busy but not fulfilled, this conversation will help you reset with clarity and purpose.
