During the first few years of Dina Cataldo’s career with the District Attorneys office, things took a turn. She was in the midst of prepping for trials when she received a diagnosis of breast cancer three years into her five-year plan for success. That diagnosis forced her to pause and reevaluate the way she was living her life.  It also forced her to face her fears and go after the life she truly wanted.

This episode originally aired as Episode 143 on May 7, 2018. 

After two decades, Lee Rosen figured out how to own a lucrative law firm without having to work in his firm 24/7/365. One he realized he could be the owner, not the practitioner, Lee found a team to run the business and then sold it. Now, he travels full-time while teaching other lawyers how they can build their practices into sellable businesses. 

Lee joins former host, Karima Gulick, in this episode to share how he built a lucrative firm, how he set up his systems that eventually helped him expand his business, and how you can build a solid business that allows you to work from anywhere.

Sexual harassment and bullying in the workplace occur more frequently than one would think. For many lawyers who find themselves victims of sexual harassment and assault, it can be difficult to speak up or seek the necessary help, especially in the workplace. They suffer in silence out of fear that speaking up will cause too much damage to their careers or that their reports won’t be taken seriously.

Joining me to shed light on sexual harassment, bullying, and what law firms should be doing to end workplace harassment is Lauren Rikleen, Founder and President of the Rikleen Institute for Strategic Leadership.  She is the author of the new book:  The Shield of Silence: How Power Perpetuates a Culture of Harassment and Bullying in the Workplace.

Lauren speaks, trains, and consults on a variety of issues relating to workplace culture including women’s leadership and retention, unconscious bias, multi-generational teams, and negative workplace conduct including sexual harassment.

If you’re convinced that you have a powerful message, valuable insight, or helpful experience when it comes to your practice area or business subject matter, then you must share it with the world. This particular episode is focused on one way you can do that using live streaming video but ultimately, the platform doesn’t matter. The message and your dedication to consistently showing up and sharing your knowledge is what will help you build brand awareness and grow your business.

I’m joined by livestreaming coach and trainer, speaker, and author, Jenny Q. Jenny Q has been in the digital and social media marketing space for many years, and now she teaches professionals how to use live video to build their brands. She literally wrote the book on livestreaming, called Leverage Livestreaming to Build Your Brand: Start, Master, and Monetize Live Video.

Jenny shares why all lawyers should be using live video to build their practices and even walks us through the exact process of starting, delivering, and ending our live broadcasts powerfully.

Many Millennials are at a point in their lives where they’re thinking about having or are already having babies.  The thought of having children while managing a full workload as a lawyer can be stressful because, lets face it, being a parent is a full time job on its own.  So if you’re considering starting a family, are currently pregnant, or already have a kiddo, what can you be doing right now to best prepare yourself for parenthood while also running your law practice?

I’m joined by Family Law attorney and Certified Family Law Specialist in Redondo Beach, Ca, Lovette Mioni. Lovette runs her own law practice and along with her husband, is raising two young children. She joins me to talk about how having children affected her business and changed her view of how she wanted to practice. She talks to me about what she had to do to prepare her assistant and those she worked with to carry on with office work while she was on leave and what she did to manage her client’s expectations while she was unavailable.

Are you inching closer and closer to burnout? Be honest! You might be. It’s fairly common for high achievers to burn out, especially if they’re not taking care of themselves physically and mentally. That’s what happened to me at the end of last year, 2018, when I found myself facing a breakdown of the sort I’ve never experienced before. I had been busy trying to grow my business for two years that I drove myself into the ground.

Luckily, I discovered meditation and yoga right at the 11th hour. In this episode, I share a personal story about how I how I spent 2 years building a business that led me to a breakdown, the one thing I did that proved to be a breakthrough, how I became 10% happier, and how you can too.

Joining me for segments of this conversation are attorneys and yoga and meditation instructors Lee Holcomb and Joanna McCracken of www.lawyersandyoga.com

We are living in a DIY world and lawyers can no longer be protective of their old ways of practicing law. Consumers are turning online for legal answers and many even go to YouTube to get help. This is a good sign for lawyers looking to fill a gap in the market by providing help to consumers who don’t need full representation but instead, require help with a specific aspect of their legal matter.  That’s why I wanted to explore the world of limited scope representation. 

This conversation will shed light on the growing appeal of limited scope representation, especially for lawyers who are seeking an alternative way of practicing law. Joining me are Brooke Moore and Laura O’Bryan, co-Founders of MyVirtual.Lawyer, a virtual law firm offering limited scope representation in the areas of Family Law, Estate Planning, and Business Law. Brooke and Laura break down what limited scope representation is, how it can help your existing law firm grow (or how it can replace your existing practice all together), and what you can do to get started with LSR.

On March 3rd, 2019, I woke up, I went to Instagram and proceeded to delete the app off of my phone. I also deleted the Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter, and LinkedIn apps and made the decision to not log in for the next 30 days.  I needed a break.

I’m a social media-lover so this decision was huge for me, but it was necessary. I noticed that there's this feeling of overwhelm going around when it comes to social media. There’s a lot of push back against this state of always having to post on the platform in order to remain relevant. Many people are outright deleting their accounts because they're exhausted.  As more and more articles surface highlighting the negative effects of social media on our mental health and behaviors, the more intrigued I became with reassessing my own usage of the platforms.

In this episode, I share the results of my 30-day social media detox experiment and describe how I plan on using the platforms in a more sustainable way going forward.

The legal environment these days almost demands that lawyers become experts in their practice areas. So before you can begin building your authority in a specific practice area or industry, it’s important to select a niche that provides the best possibilities for growth. That’s what we’re discussing in this episode: how to identify the five qualities of a lucrative business niche to build your law practice around.

Joining me today is Jacob Slowik, a partner with Joseph, Aleem & Slowik who represents healthcare businesses and co-author of the book, Small Law; Big Success: How to Use Business Niche Specialization to Grow a Multi-Million Dollar Law Practice. Jake and his law firm partners built a multi-million-dollar law practice before they were 30 years old. That is impressive! They did this by using a novel strategy of business niche specialization.

Prior to Joseph, Aleem & Slowik, LLC, Mr. Slowik was an attorney with the real estate practice group of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP in New York, New York. Mr. Slowik is a graduate of Harvard Law School and received his B.S. in Industrial and Labor Relations from Cornell University.

We are celebrating our four-year anniversary on the pod! Yowza! Thank you so much for your continued support. It means the world to Karima and me. In this celebratory episode, Karima and I are chatting about a symptom that many Millennials seem to be suffering from and don’t even realize it – Millennial burnout. We also touch upon the issue of perfectionism that many lawyers find themselves grappling with. Must we spend hours reviewing a simple email out of fear of sending a less-than-perfect draft? We round out the conversation by exploring what “self-care” really means and if it truly lives up to its promise.

For many, public speaking is terrifying. For others, it’s just a fun hobby. For me, having the opportunity to stand in front of a crowd and capture their attention for a prolonged period of time is a privilege and an opportunity for business development, when done right. Over the past 7 years, when I decided to take public speaking more seriously and to make it part of my business, I’ve learned how to work the stage, so to speak, to make public speaking an additional source of revenue in my business.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:  

  • Before you begin your speaking journey, you should know what you’re talking about
  • Why selecting a few topics to become known for is way more effective than listing about 30 things you can talk about
  • Practice and preparation is key and can mean the difference between delivering a mediocre presentation and delivering a presentation that helps you secure business long after you present
  • Even if you’re serving on a panel with others, how can you best prepare?
  • Set up a speakers page either on an existing website or as an entire website dedicated to you as a speaker
  • Should you speak for free or only accept engagements that pay you?
  • What can you be doing with your slides to help provide the necessary information for attendees to know about you
  • When responding to questions
  • How can you promote an upcoming speaking engagement on social media without sounding obnoxious?
  • What is the best way to get the most out of video footage that you might have recorded while you were presenting?
  • How to find conferences to apply to speak at

The way you think about things affect how you feel and that impacts how you behave and how you show up in the world. If you’re like me, you might have a lot of negative self-talk that feels limiting. If only we knew how to change our mindset, we could probably unlock a whole new level of amazingness, right? Well, let’s undo some mindset damage, shall we?

My guest today is Master Certified Life Coach, former women’s rights lawyer, and host of the popular podcast, Unf*ck Your Brain, Kara Loewentheil. Kara holds a B.A. from Yale and a J.D. from Harvard Law. She helps women break through their confidence issues and negative self-talk and finally put into action their true desires. Her work isn’t based on manifestation and law of attraction bs, it’s rooted in cognitive psychology-based techniques and feminist theory.

Kara shares how we can decipher between helpful and unhelpful thoughts, what the two steps are to begin retraining our brains, why “fake it til you make it” is utter crap, and how to assess our thoughts throughout the day.

As we celebrate Valentine’s Day this week (and yes, we realize this is a totally made up “holiday”), we thought it’d be fun to talk about love and relationships as a lawyer. Lawyers are busy and often work long hours so finding time to date or nurture a loving relationship can often be difficult.

Joining me today is Dr. Sharon Cohen, relationship and love consultant.  She received her PhD from the University of Texas and has been helping busy professionals have committed and fulfilling relationships.

Dr. Cohen shares why it’s important for women to tap into their inner energy when seeking a partner, how you can reignite the spark in a long-term relationship, and how to make time for your loved ones.
