153: They Don’t Teach You This in Law School – How to Build a Personal Brand & My Interview on Charley Mann’s Great Podcast


Listen Later

Most people think building a personal brand is about being everywhere—but the real power comes from being consistent in one place.

I had the chance to be interviewed by Charley Mann on his podcast They Don’t Teach This in Law School, and we went deep into building a personal brand that drives real business. We talked about my story and how I went from working in top marketing roles at Coca-Cola, McDonald’s Restaurants and Sprint to launching Ten Golden Rules, and why niching down into law firm marketing helped us triple our revenue. I shared simple ways attorneys can build visibility by just answering one question a week—and how to turn that into blogs, video, SEO, and social media without burning out. If you're trying to stand out as a lawyer or grow your firm, this one is packed with practical strategies you can use today.
