🎙️ This Week’s Guest: Tim Lupinacci

He runs a law firm with hundreds of employees across the U.S. — and he’s doing it by flipping traditional leadership on its head.

Tim Lupinacci is the CEO and Chair of Baker Donelson, a 130-year-old U.S. law firm. But unlike the archetype of a power-hungry managing partner, Tim leads through vulnerability, service, and personal values.

In this conversation, Tim shares how he’s built a culture of trust and transparency in a sector that’s famously high-pressure, high-burnout, and historically low on empathy. Expect real-world lessons on humility, motivation, and leading with impact in complex, change-resistant environments.
