What happens when a trial lawyer burns the boats, leaves litigation behind, and builds an entire business by posting on LinkedIn?

In this episode of Life Beyond the Briefs, Brian sits down with Tony Albrecht—former litigator, founder of Contender, and the go-to ghostwriter for trial lawyers who want to grow their influence online without sounding like everyone else.

Tony shares his personal journey from asbestos defense to digital storytelling, including the moment LinkedIn clicked and changed the trajectory of his career. Together, they unpack what it really takes to build a personal brand as a lawyer in today’s attention economy—and why most attorneys are still playing the wrong game when it comes to content.

Inside this conversation:

• The surprising upside of consistent posting (even when no one’s watching)
• The 1-5-10 Method Tony teaches lawyers to build visibility, trust, and relationships
• How to use content to generate demand—not just leads
• The difference between being a funnel and being a magnet
• And why the most powerful form of marketing might be the one you can’t measure at all

Whether you’re brand new to LinkedIn or already posting but feeling stuck, this episode is a tactical, mindset-shifting guide for showing up with more clarity, consistency, and confidence.
