What happens when a trial lawyer stops overthinking and just hits record?

In this episode, Marc sits down in Los Angeles with Harry Nalbandyan, partner at Levin & Nalbandyan and host of Harry Handles It, to talk about the real value of content creation for lawyers (hint: it is not “becoming an influencer”).

They get into why podcasting is a cheat code for communication, leadership, and relationship-building, plus what changes when your firm scales from a scrappy team to 115 people. Harry shares hard-earned lessons on hiring, culture, developing A-players, and why the best leaders focus on making everyone around them better.

If you’ve been sitting on an idea, waiting until it’s perfect, this conversation is your reminder: Just handle it.
