In the third episode of How to Run a Law Firm in 2025, Mathew Kerbis and I tackled a big question: how do you keep learning and stay up to date without completely overwhelming yourself?

We shared the resources we rely on for both legal updates and business growth. Mathew talked about using bar association memberships and Lexology to stay current on legal developments, and we both agreed that some of the best business advice actually comes from outside the legal world.

I shared some of my favorite go-to resources, like the Business Made Simple and Online Marketing Made Easy podcasts, while Mathew talked about how he works in learning during daily routines—listening to podcasts while driving or doing chores. We also recommended a few standout resources for solos, including Justin Welsh’s Sad Saturday Solopreneur newsletter, MyShingle.com, and Laura Frederick’s How to Contract.

The key takeaway? Be selective with what you consume. Unsubscribe from the noise, focus on high-quality content, and find ways to make learning fit into your day—whether that’s speed listening, time blocking, or stacking it with other activities.

The goal isn’t to learn everything—it’s to learn the right things that will actually move your practice forward.
