In today’s episode, Jim and Tyson chat with, James Hux! They dive into the journey of conveying the message through employment discrimination law. If you’re interested in learning more about growth, social media, and running a tech-driven firm, check out this week’s episode.
James Hux didn’t decide to go to law school until he was a junior at The Ohio State University. He had, in fact, never considered being a lawyer while growing up. His father was a pastor, his mother worked with nonprofits, and the only thing young James was sure of was that he wanted to help people. He wanted to make sure that everyone had their chance to be heard.
Immediately following law school, James was fortunate enough to represent injured workers and victims of police misconduct at a personal injury firm in Dayton, Ohio. It wasn’t long before James was exposed to an employment law case and found his calling.
Employment law was a perfect combination of the technical skills he had learned since law school and his innate ability to connect with people from all walks of life. He embraced the opportunity to educate employees across a wide array of industries and companies, big and small. Educate while helping them to get through a devastating time in their lives and, of course, see them prevail.

Jim’s Hack: When you deal with angry people, convey to them that you hear them and understand their frustration. Tell them something like, “I will personally take this on and help you get a resolution.” It’s a very powerful statement and great customer service.
James’s Tip: For those that work from home, find places outside of your home to work. It’s easy to get stuck working in the same space. A change of scenery can help a lot with productivity.
Tyson’s Tip: Unsubscribe from at least one thing in your life each week for the next month.
