Want to know the secret tool that transformed Sterling Lawyers from chaos to a coordinated 25+ attorney firm doing $15+ million in revenue? In this interview, I interviewed our CFO, Todd Clauer, who revealed our game-changing daily management huddle—a 30-minute meeting that revolutionized how they operate.

Drawing from 30+ years across manufacturing and professional services, Todd breaks down their proven system:

• The four-part daily agenda that keeps every division aligned
• How our color-coded metrics drive immediate action on what matters most
• Why real-time consult tracking shrunk lead-to-appointment time from 2 weeks to under 5 days
• The Friday NPS readings and shoutouts that reinforce client-first culture
• How firm-wide data access turned attorneys into business-minded partners requesting marketing increases

Listen in for the exact framework that eliminates silos, accelerates communication, and builds ownership mentality across every level of the organization. Todd's systematic approach shows how one simple daily habit can transform firm culture while driving measurable business results.

Tired of the feast or famine cycle that plagues most family law practices? In this video, I reveal why consistent marketing is the only way to break free from the devastating ups and downs that keep attorneys trapped in survival mode.

We tackle:

• The three psychological traps that kill marketing momentum when you get busy
• Why redefining marketing as simply "getting attention" changes everything about how you approach growth
• The compounding benefits of daily marketing habits—from client selection power to weathering seasonal slowdowns
• Simple daily actions that count as marketing: one text to a referral source, bringing pastries to court clerks, or checking in with your marketing team

Listen in for a paradigm shift that transforms marketing from an overwhelming burden into manageable daily habits. Our practical approach shows how even the busiest solo practitioners can maintain consistent growth momentum without sacrificing client work, because today's marketing creates tomorrow's clients.

Wondering if mastermind programs are worth the investment? In this episode, I sit down with Richard James, founder of Your Practice Mastered, who helped transform our practice after I discovered his work during my niece's graduation ceremony.

This discussion reveals:

• My biggest 10-year mistake was avoiding industry-specific masterminds (despite being in other groups for 20+ years)
• The "third mind" concept that separates successful masterminds from networking groups
• Richard's unexpected journey from asking "dumb questions" in a $27,000 mastermind to helping 900+ attorneys
• The critical difference between free and paid mastermind commitments
• His hybrid approach that goes beyond traditional quarterly "hot seats"

Listen in for practical guidance on choosing the right mastermind environment, whether you're seeking accountability, benchmarking opportunities, or simply that safe space where you're not building your practice alone.
