Season 1 · Episode 23
Wednesday, March 8, 2023 • Duration 30:51
There are a million reasons not to rebrand a firm. It is time-consuming, expensive, and has the potential to lose hard-earned goodwill. It could be a complete disaster.

22. Law Firm Refresh: Growing an Established Practice | Mike Agruss, Agruss Law Firm
Wednesday, March 1, 2023 • Duration 40:48
When Mike Arguss started his firm in 2012, it was just him in a basement apartment. Like most firms, his growth was slow and steady. The tipping point was when Mike decided to learn everything he could about the business side of law and integrate it into his practice. That decision changed everything. Mike's Chicago-based Arguss Law Firm has expanded substantially and today employs 5 attorneys and 10 staff. Most of this evolution has taken place over the past four years. Mike reveals how he moves one strategic goal at a time. He shares his experience implementing data-rich client management systems, ramping up marketing, and perfecting customer service.
Key takeaways:
Make data-driven decisions. When implemented correctly, client management systems can reveal how best to spend resources.
Seek help. A vision is only as good as the execution and integrators can help you bring ideas to life.
Take down the walls. Learn from others. Offer guidance in return. Find the right mentoring groups, conferences, or masterminds to exchange ideas and accelerate the firm.

20. Courage and Intention: How Radical Honesty Creates Stronger Attorneys | Joe Fried, Fried Goldberg
Wednesday, February 15, 2023 • Duration 57:14
Joe Fried is synonymous with truck accident law. He pioneered trucking litigation best practices used around the country. And co-founded the Academy of Truck Accident Attorneys. In practice for over 18 years, the founding partner of Atlanta-based Fried Goldberg has recovered over $1 billion for clients.
Today we discover what makes Joe, Joe. He made a choice over a decade ago that sounds simple enough, but requires incredible courage - he chose to be honest. To himself and to everyone around him. This shift has changed his life, how he approaches the business of law, and even how he gives depositions. He offers practical advice on how to harness our emotional states and influence those around us.
Key takeaways:
Lead by example. When people in positions of power express vulnerability, it gives everyone around them permission to do the same.
Change your posture, change your state. Body language and even the breath can cause both physical and emotional changes. Ramp it up to change the states of those around you.
Flip the switch. If you're having a bad day, take ownership of your state. Draw from the memory bank of positive emotions and turn your day to good. It only takes two minutes.
