Episode 29 of the "Everything Except The Law" podcast has arrived! This time we're speaking with Robert Ingalls, the Chief Podcast Strategist at LawPods.

In this episode, Robert and podcast host Nick Werker discuss why lawyers should be eager to dive into the podcasting world, what is needed to launch a podcast, how to make your podcast stand out from the pack and much more!

About our guest:
Robert Ingalls is a recovering attorney, professional speaker, and the founder of LawPods, one of the first podcast content marketing agencies for law firms. At LawPods, Robert and his team help some of the premier law firms in the world launch and grow branded podcasts that build relationships, boost SEO, and drive revenue.

Robert's path from trial lawyer to Podcast Producer was anything but direct. For years he battled anxiety from the pressure, long hours, and constant conflict of a litigation career. When he was finally ready to throw in the towel, he had no idea what to do next. With no business/marketing background and only a love for podcasts he discovered making one for his firm; Robert decided to see if lawyers would pay him to help them launch podcasts. Within four years, LawPods was producing podcasts for the biggest brands in law.

As a speaker, Robert frequently speaks on Podcast Content Marketing, Prioritizing Mental Health, Entrepreneurship, and Law Office Technology. In his spare time, he enjoys teaching podcasting at community events, traveling, spending time with his wife and daughters, and riding his skateboard.
