In this episode, I’m addressing a critical issue that many service-based business owners face: the enforcement and implications of communication clauses in your contracts. Using a real-life scenario from the TLP community, I’m breaking down the legal intricacies of handling client communication expectations, especially when a client attempts to claim a breach of contract. I explain what constitutes a material breach and offer practical advice on how to craft and enforce communication clauses that protect both parties.

• The importance of communication clauses for response times and methods of communication, protecting both you and your client.

After taking a little hiatus from the podcast (because it simply didn’t feel aligned) I’m back with a CLEAR vision on what I want for this podcast moving forward. The gist? While I love love love sharing legal content,  I also want to share a bit more about my business mindset, CEO mindset, and business tips + tricks. A decade into this gig and I have some wisdom, failures, and successes that will be helpful for others to learn from! 

In this episode, I give an unfiltered update on all the things happening in my life both personally + professionally.  Press play and you’ll get a glimpse into:

• How maternity leave really went
• The lessons I learned from trying to execute 2 big launches in less than a month
• The 6 new job titles I’m adding to my team
• The area of my business I’m managing for the first time in years,
• How I’m prioritizing health and friendships during a particularly busy season of life

If I can ask anything from you, it’d be to go give it a listen and write a review with your feedback. As I bring the podcast back to life, I’d love to know what resonated with you + what you’d like to learn about in the upcoming episodes.
