What if the final piece of the puzzle for your growth was right here?

This is the second and last part of a powerful two-part conversation on Be That Lawyer Live, where Steve Fretzin sits down again with Daniel Scola, Eido Walny, and Karl Seelbach. Together, they dive deep into rainmaking, relationships, and leadership in ways most lawyers never discuss publicly. You’ll hear candid stories, real mistakes, and strategies that connect directly to your own journey. Don’t miss this closing segment — it’s your chance to take the full picture and turn it into action.
 

In this episode, Steve, Daniel, Eido, and Karl discuss:

• Authentic business development through personal passions
• Building and sustaining client relationships
• Gaining visibility with thought leadership
• Lessons from mistakes and missed opportunities

Key Takeaways:

• Aligning personal passions like music, car restoration, or cufflink-making with client connections creates natural and sustainable business opportunities.
• Avoiding the “too busy” perception is critical, since clients and prospects may hold back opportunities if they think you’re overwhelmed.
• Speaking engagements, timely PR responses, and consistent online presence remain the most effective ways to stay top of mind and be recognized as a leader.
• Complacency, failure to delegate, and clinging to unproductive organizations can stall growth, while being proactive ensures long-term success.

"You gotta love it, or else you’re not going to be good at it." —  Eido Walny

"No matter how busy you may be, if you want to bring in more work… don’t talk about how busy you are." —  Karl Seelbach
