  • 070. Profit First for Lawyers: A Conversation with RJon Robins
    May 20 2025

    Is your law practice truly profitable? Not just cash-flow positive, but actually generating the kind of profit that allows you to serve your clients well, take care of your team, and live the life you want? In this episode, I dive deep into the critical topic of law firm profitability with RJon Robins, founder of How to Manage a Small Law Firm and author of Profit First for Lawyers.

    We explore why so many lawyers struggle with profitability, how to properly calculate your cost of goods sold, and why understanding the difference between static and dynamic overhead can transform your practice. While RJon and I have different communication styles, we align on the core principle: putting profit first isn't selfish—it's essential for creating a sustainable practice that truly serves everyone involved.

    May 13 2025

    If you've ever tried to turn one of your documents or templates into something repeatable, you probably already know it is harder than it looks. Whether you're looking to streamline routine documents or create client-facing tools, this week's conversation will help you find the most effective and straightforward solution for your needs.

    I'm joined by Quinten Steenhuis, co-director of the Legal Innovation and Technology Lab at Suffolk Law School and owner of Lemma Consulting. His work with the Document Assembly Line project during the pandemic revolutionized access to justice when courts physically closed but legal needs remained urgent. We explore the intersection of document automation, generative AI, and legal practice, uncovering practical insights for firms of all sizes.

  • 068. Adaptability by Design: Building Law Practices That Respond to Change
    May 6 2025

    It’s easy to say lawyers need to “be more adaptable” in today’s shifting tech and economic climate, but real adaptability isn’t about working harder or reacting faster. It’s about responding intelligently to change by staying grounded in your mission, your goals, and the strategies that support them.

    In this episode, I break down what intentional adaptability looks like in practice, and how clarity at the strategic level helps you navigate complexity without losing your footing. I share how to make better tech decisions and future-proof your practice without sacrificing what matters most: delivering real results to your clients.
