Unlimited PTO? Inside the Law Firm Breaking All the Rules with Daniel Gielchinsky
In this episode of The Wealthy Lawyer $quad Podcast, host Lauren Klein sits down with attorney and visionary law firm founder Daniel Gielchinsky for a compelling conversation about what it really means to build wealth as a lawyer — not just financially, but holistically.
With a background on Wall Street, experience in Big Law, and a fearless leap into entrepreneurship, Daniel shares his story of launching a values-driven law firm grounded in health, happiness, and humanity. From creating a culture that prioritizes wellness and leadership to redefining the client-attorney relationship through “powerful kindness,” Daniel pulls back the curtain on what it takes to practice law differently — and successfully.
