Jared is joined by Jonathon Fishman, CEO & Co-founder of LeanLaw, to talk about law firm finances, retention, and defunct holidays.

First, Jared shares his monologue on law firm retention strategies. He argues that the market is too tight to run your firm on "vibes" and offers seven tips to keep your best people, including the need for transparent incentives, financial clarity, and more frequent payouts. He also offers a strong argument for why lawyers love bullsh*t titles.

Then, Jonathon Fishman discusses the founding of LeanLaw and its mission to help small firms be better businesses. He delves into his three major areas of focus: the power of LeanLaw's deep QuickBooks integration for compensation tracking, how to stop "revenue leakage" in your firm, and his strong take on trust accounting, which he argues should drive the universal adoption of evergreen retainers.

Finally, stick around for our fun and utterly unhinged Counter Program segment, "Holidays on Holiday." Jonathon is quizzed on whether bizarre, defunct holidays—like the "Festival of the Whispering Wax" and "Old Clem's Night"—are real or fake.
