Picture this: a young boy enters a computer programming project in his school science fair. It's so sophisticated that his teacher mistakenly assumes a parent must have helped – and awards him last place. The boy then grows up to become CEO of a legal technology company worth $650 million. That story belongs to Jake Heller, Head of CoCounsel – a revolutionary generative AI product for lawyers.

In this episode, Jenn and Lauren sit down with their colleague Jake to chat about his journey from coding to law school to founding Casetext, where Jake envisioned making legal research as easy as finding movie times online. And, through the powers of AI, determination, and teamwork, his vision eventually became a reality. Jake also gets candid about family life and what it's like to have his own "co-counsel" at home – four children under the age of 5 – with his high school sweetheart.
