Episode notes

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Ruby Powers discuss:

The role of content creation in modern legal practice
Building a personal brand as a legal professional
Leveraging technology and AI in law firm marketing
The intersection of entrepreneurship and legal career growth

Key Takeaways:

A thoughtfully created core asset—such as a podcast episode, webinar, or article—can be broken down and reimagined into a wide range of content like blog posts, LinkedIn updates, short videos, newsletters, and downloadable resources, maximizing effort while expanding reach across platforms.
Having digital workflows, remote communication systems, and flexible client service models in place early on allows a practice to stay fully functional and even thrive during major disruptions like relocations, global crises, or shifting life circumstances.
Maintaining a well-organized archive of previously created materials—ranging from PowerPoints to articles and recorded webinars—makes it easier to consistently publish client-facing or educational content without always starting from a blank slate.
Enhancing video content with subtitles, multilingual accessibility, and platform-specific formatting dramatically increases engagement, reach, and brand recall, especially in a mobile-first world where most viewers scroll with sound off and attention spans are short.

"If we’re not repurposing, if we’re not maximizing all of this content, then I’m upset." — Ruby Powers
