This isn’t another “new year, new me” video. Most law firm owners set resolutions every January… and forget them by February. This episode offers a radically different approach to preparing your law firm (and your life) for 2026.

If you’ve ever felt burned out, stuck between practice and business ownership, or unsure whether the work you’re doing is actually the work you want to be doing… this conversation will hit home.

Inside this episode, we walk you through a mindset shift used by top-performing law firms. One that forces clarity, strips away noise, and helps you make decisions driven by meaning rather than momentum. We cover ownership levels, profitability traps, burnout patterns, and a couple of powerful personal exercises that will shape the way you think about the next decade of your career.

Build a more profitable law firm by getting clear on priorities for 2026 using long-term thinking. Stop doing low-value work that drains your energy and reconnect with the reason you opened your firm in the first place.

If you're ready to build a law firm that serves your life, this episode will help you set a foundation for a stronger, more focused 2026.

Most law firm owners don’t realize the biggest bottleneck in their firm isn’t hiring, revenue, or systems… It’s that every challenge still runs through them.

In this episode, we break down why your firm can’t scale if you’re the only leader and what it actually takes to develop team members who can solve problems, break bottlenecks, and lead beside you.

You’ll hear insights inspired by Simon Sinek’s leadership principles, the “circle of safety,” and why proactively maintaining your people (not just your processes) is the key to a thriving, trustworthy team.

But more importantly: you’ll see why leadership isn’t about being in charge… it’s about taking care of those in your charge and how that shift can completely change the trajectory of your practice.

If you want your team to take more ownership and you want your firm to grow without you doing everything, this is your episode.

From Simon Sinek’s “Infinite Game” to the four finite systems every profitable practice must master, this episode will challenge how you think about growth, burnout, and team building.

If you’re ready to develop leaders, not just employees, and build a firm that can run without you, this episode is for you.

Running a busy law firm, but feel like it’s running you?

After working with over 1,000 law firms, we’ve identified the four systems every law firm owner needs to scale profitably without burning out.

Most attorneys were trained to be great lawyers, not business owners. That’s the real reason so many firm owners hit a wall, even when revenue is up. In this episode, we break down the core business frameworks that separate firms that run smoothly from those that constantly feel like a grind.

We’re not talking about fancy software or apps. These are business principles that can completely change the way your firm operates from client intake to profitability to team performance.

If you’re ready to stop living in constant reaction mode and start scaling your firm intentionally, this video will show you exactly where to start.

If you’ve finally hired a remote phone agent, whether they’re across town or in another country, the next big question is: how do you actually get your firm’s calls to them… reliably?

Most law firms get this wrong. Calls drop, clients get frustrated, and new leads slip through the cracks. But when your phone system is set up correctly, you can increase your appointment set rate, improve client satisfaction, and stop missing opportunities.

In this episode, we break down the two versions of setting up your phone systems the right way, from basic VoIP forwarding to advanced smart routing that separates new client calls from existing traffic.
