  • 115. Spring Cleaning Your Law Practice: Managing Capacity, Catching Up, & Letting Go
    Apr 14 2026

    It’s that time of year when we naturally think about spring cleaning our homes and clearing out the clutter. But this year, I’m encouraging you to apply that same mindset to your professional commitments. As legal professionals, we often take on more than we can handle, and that’s when overwhelm sets in.

    In today’s episode, I’ll walk you through why it’s important to first assess your capacity and why honest self-reflection is key to maintaining a sustainable workload. I share a clear framework for evaluating your workload and prioritizing what really matters so you can let go of what’s no longer serving you or your practice.

  • 114. The Case for Better Meetings: A Smarter Way to Move Legal Work Forward
    Apr 7 2026

    Do your meetings actually move work forward, or do they just take up time on your calendar?

    In this episode, I share three examples from my recent work that illustrate what well-designed, well-run meetings can actually accomplish. From Agile cadence meetings like weekly planning and daily standups, to larger strategy discussions and even simple client check-ins, I walk through how real-time conversations create alignment, surface better ideas, and move work forward more effectively than email.

    By the end, you will have a clearer understanding of when meetings are the right tool, how to structure them for better outcomes, and why they are essential for creating fast feedback loops in legal work.

  • 113. Building a Practice That Lasts: Kanban, Credibility, and the Long Game with Jordan Couch
    Mar 31 2026

    Are you building a practice designed to last, or one that only works as long as you can keep up with the pace? It is easy to focus on immediate demands, chasing efficiency or output, without stepping back to consider whether your systems, your reputation, and your way of working are actually sustainable over time.

    In this episode, I talk with Jordan Couch, an attorney and innovator at Palace Law, about what it really looks like to take a long view of your legal practice. We explore how tools like Kanban can help make work visible and manageable, but also how credibility, consistency, and service shape the foundation of a practice that endures. This conversation goes beyond workflow and into how you think about your role, your clients, and the kind of practice you are building.
