  • 25 Years of Coaching Lawyers: What Drives Profit, Focus, and Growth with Glenn Finch | Ep 204

    Twenty-five years advising attorneys. Twenty-eight years of military service. Glenn Finch has spent much of his career learning what it takes to perform at a high level without letting every demand dictate your time.

    And after decades of working with law firm owners, he's seen which lessons tend to matter most.

    In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life, Steve Riley sits down with Glenn to talk about what his unusual career has taught him about helping law firm owners build more profitable practices without letting the practice consume their lives.

    They discuss knowing what your time is worth, hiring people you can trust, becoming more selective about the clients you take, and protecting your capacity as the firm grows. Glenn also shares how his military experience shaped the discipline and boundaries he brings to his work with attorneys, and why fear and old assumptions can quietly influence some of the biggest decisions a law firm owner makes.

    After 25 years of helping attorneys build stronger practices, Glenn has plenty to say about what works, what gets in the way, and what law firm owners may need to think differently about if they want both a great practice and a great life.

    ___________

    In this episode, you will hear:

    • How to make your law firm more profitable without simply taking on more work
    • Why the people you hire can change what's possible for your firm
    • When saying no to a client can be better for your business
    • How fear and old assumptions can keep law firm owners stuck
    • How Glenn uses discipline and boundaries to protect his time and attention

  • AI Is Changing Roles Inside Your Law Firm with Matt Symes | Ep 203

    "I can't find good people" is one of the most common frustrations in law firm management.

    But what if the people aren't actually the problem?

    Rushed work, competing priorities, poor scheduling, and broken workflows can make capable team members look like they're underperforming. And when the work starts falling apart, who usually steps in to fix it? The law firm owner.

    In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life, Steve Riley talks with business transformation strategist Matt Symes about why hiring another person, adding more training, or throwing AI at the problem won't necessarily fix what's happening inside your firm.

    They discuss how to identify what's really slowing your firm down, rethink the way work moves through your team, and determine where AI can actually make a difference.

    Before you decide you have a people problem, Matt argues there's a more important question to ask: Is the way your firm works setting good people up to succeed?

    ___________

    In this episode, you will hear:

    • Why a people problem may actually be a process problem
    • How to find the constraint that's slowing down your firm
    • Why your team should help redesign the way work gets done
    • How AI could change the roles of attorneys, paralegals, and administrators
    • Why your vision for your practice should come before your AI strategy

  • When AI Scammers Impersonate You and Your Law Firm with Angel Leal | Ep 202

    Imagine getting a call from someone who thinks they hired you, paid you, and trusted you with their legal problem.

    Except you've never spoken to them before.

    That's what attorney Angel Leal faced when scammers began using his name, image, voice, and law firm to impersonate him online.

    They talk about fake websites, AI-generated videos and voices, client verification, documenting fraud, and what to do when someone else is using the reputation you spent years building.

    If you have a website, a social media presence, or simply a name people can find online, this is a problem worth paying attention to.

    ___________

    In this episode, you will hear:

    • How scammers can use AI to impersonate attorneys and law firms online
    • Why attorney identity theft quickly becomes a problem for the entire firm

  • How to Delegate Without Sacrificing Client Experience with Dr. Ruth Mannschreck | Ep 201

    If you stepped away from your law firm tomorrow, what would stop working?

    For Dr. Ruth Mannschreck, that question became very real when her daughter's traumatic birth forced her to cut her dental practice from five days a week to two and a half.

    She could have accepted that working less meant earning less. Instead, Ruth and her team changed the way the practice operated. They returned to their previous revenue, continued to grow, and built a business that no longer depended on Ruth being involved in everything.

    In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life, Steve Riley talks with Ruth about what law firm owners can learn from her experience. They discuss building a team that takes ownership, creating a better client experience, hiring the right people, and letting go of work without losing accountability.

    If your firm still needs you to answer every question, solve every problem, and make every important decision, Ruth's story offers a different picture of what your practice could look like.

    ___________

    In this episode, you will hear:

    • How to build a client experience that goes beyond getting the work done
    • Why your team needs ownership, not just another list of tasks
    • What to look for when hiring beyond technical skills
    • How to decide what should come off your plate
    • How to build a firm that depends less on you without losing accountability

  • How AI is Helping Attorneys Grow More Profitable Practices with Jennifer and Fred Felten | Ep 200

    AI can help you get legal work done faster. But if you bill by the hour, that creates an uncomfortable question:

    What happens when the work that used to take three hours takes 30 minutes?

    And billing is only part of the conversation.

    In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life, Jennifer Felten and Fred Felten join Steve Riley to talk about what they're actually doing with AI inside their law firm. They share how they're using technology to capture knowledge, train their team, improve processes, and rethink work that has traditionally depended on an attorney's time.

    They also get into some bigger questions about staffing, flat fees, subscriptions, AI agents, and what a law firm could look like when technology creates more capacity instead of simply helping everyone work faster.

    If you're trying to figure out where AI actually belongs in your firm, this insightful discussion offers a firsthand look at what happens when you start putting it to work.

    ___________

    In this episode, you will hear:

    • How Jennifer grew her practice from $600K a year to $400K a month
    • How internal GPTs turn attorney knowledge into a resource for the entire team
    • Where automation can take repetitive work off your team's plate
    • Why Jennifer and Fred moved away from hourly billing
    • How AI is changing training, staffing, and capacity inside the firm

  • The Gallbladder Test: Is Your Law Firm Too Dependent on One Person? with Sam Price | Ep 199

    What would happen if one of your most important employees was suddenly out for three weeks or three months?

    For Sam Price, a team member's gallbladder surgery exposed a problem many law firm owners don't recognize until it's too late: too much of the firm depended on what one person knew.

    Sam joins Steve Riley on Great Practice, Great Life to talk about reducing key-person dependency through better law firm systems, training, delegation, and cross-training. They explore how unclear instructions and hidden assumptions create bottlenecks, and how better processes can keep your firm moving when someone is unavailable.

    • Why key-person dependency can put your law firm at risk
    • How to document processes without overcomplicating them
    • Why unclear delegation creates avoidable mistakes

  • Build a Million-Follower Legal Brand Without Letting Growth Overwhelm Your Firm with Angel Leal | Ep 197

    You know your clients and referral sources are on social media. You know you should probably be there, too.

    But what are you supposed to post? How often? And is any of it actually going to bring business into your firm?

    In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life, Steve Riley sits down with attorney Angel Leal, who went from a zero-dollar marketing budget to building an audience of more than one million followers.

    Angel shares what changed when he stopped trying to sound impressive and started approaching social media differently. Steve and Angel also explore how visibility can become a real law firm marketing strategy without creating another full-time job for an already busy attorney.

    If social media has always felt awkward, inconsistent, or like one more thing you "should" be doing, Angel's story may change the way you think about showing up online.

    ___________

    In this episode, you will hear:

    • How Angel built more than one million followers.
    • Why consistency matters more than perfect posts.
    • How media interviews build authority and content.
    • When to add a publicist and support team.

  • Let Go of Guilt and Build a More Profitable Law Firm with Jennifer Felten | Ep 195

    Do you ever feel guilty no matter what you choose?

    You're at work thinking you should be home. You're home thinking about work. You grow your firm, but somehow the success doesn't feel the way you expected it would.

    Attorney Jennifer Felten knows that feeling well.

    When Jennifer first joined Atticus, her law firm was struggling. Years later, she has a team of nearly 30 people and has grown her revenue by more than 500%. But one of the biggest breakthroughs she experienced wasn't about marketing, hiring, or systems. It was realizing how much guilt was driving the decisions she made every day.

    In this conversation, Jennifer and Steve Riley talk about the expectations we put on ourselves, why guilt can quietly limit both your life and your business, and how learning to pause instead of automatically saying "yes" changed the way Jennifer leads her firm.

    If you've ever ended the day wondering why you still feel behind, even though you've accomplished a lot, this episode will probably feel familiar.

    ___________

    In this episode, you will hear:

    • Why guilt follows so many attorneys, at work and at home
    • How guilt can quietly hold back your firm's growth
    • A different way to think about your calendar and your priorities
    • Why "no" is sometimes the best answer for you and your clients
    • One simple question to ask before saying "yes"
