Profitable Can Still Be Too Expensive

October 5, 2026

What do Marie Kondo, Jurassic Park, and a law firm owner staring at a profitable lunch on the calendar have in common? It is not that Marie Kondo could have saved Jurassic Park with better labels. Although “raptor paddock” does feel like a category that should have received more attention. All three force the same

Working 80 Hours Is Not a Growth Strategy

September 22, 2026

A law firm growth strategy should not require an 80-hour week. If ordinary operations need emergency-level effort, the model is broken. What do Michael Jordan playing through the flu, John McClane crawling through the air vents in Die Hard, and a law firm owner answering a “quick question” at 11:47 p.m. have in common? It

Your Life, But Better: My Great Decade

August 30, 2026

What do Taylor Swift, Iron Man, and the random lawyer who swears they’ll “start working on the business…after this one last fire” have in common?

Change Anything

August 30, 2026

What do Luke Skywalker trying to leave Tatooine, companies that roll out big strategic plans every January, and lawyers who swear this is the year they’ll finally lose the weight, delegate, or stop being the bottleneck have in common? They all want change, they all mean it, and most of them still end up exactly

The “Parental Leave” Playbook Your Firm Actually Needs

August 30, 2026

What do Serena Williams, Jim Halpert, and the Ostroffs when our son was born in 2018 have in common? It’s not that all three of them have ever tried to answer an email with one hand while holding a baby, a coffee, and their sanity…well maybe it is… But it’s really about preparing for maternity

What do LeBron James, Bluey’s dad (Bandit), and the law firm owner whose kid just walked into a Zoom call wearing a Batman cape have in common?

August 30, 2026

What do Kevin Hart, Cat’s in the Cradle, and every law firm owner who “just has to pop into the office for 20 minutes” have in common? It’s not that all three of them have mastered the ancient art of being in two places at once (if you have, call me, I have questions). Instead,
