The Renegade Lawyer Podcast Ep. 164 – Renegade Lawyer Marketing (Audio Book) – Chapter 5: Banned by the Local Bar
This is Chapter 5 of the free audio edition of Renegade Lawyer Marketing (Second Edition)—only on the Renegade Lawyer Podcast.
In this episode, Ben Glass tells the story of how one local bar president tried to shut down his presentation to young lawyers, less than 24 hours before he was scheduled to speak. Why? Because Ben believes lawyers should learn marketing. And some traditionalists can’t handle that.
You’ll hear:
- What happened behind the scenes of Ben’s “almost-canceled” talk
- Why most bar associations don’t support the real needs of solo and small firm lawyers
- A no-holds-barred rebuttal to bar leaders who fear LegalZoom, Avo, and online legal tech
- What we can learn from LegalZoom and Amazon—if we’re willing to drop our ego
- And Ben’s renegade plan to fix lawyer wellness (hint: it’s not more CLE)
This one’s part rant, part call to arms—and all truth.

What Makes The GLM Tribe Special?
In short, we are the only organization within the "business builder for lawyers" space that is led by two practicing lawyers.
One thing we're sure you've noticed is that despite the variety of options within our space, no one else is mixing
the actual practice of law with business building in the way that we are.
There are no other organizations who understand the highs and lows of running a small law firm and are engaged in talking to real clients. That is what sets GLM apart from every other organization, and it is why we have had loyal members that have been with us for two-decades.
