184 - Marketing in Tough Markets - Dennis Meador’s Leadership Lessons from the Legal World

Leadership isn’t about making noise—it’s about making an impact. In this episode of Leaders and Legacies, host Craig Andrews talks with Dennis Meador, founder of the Legal Podcast Network. Meador’s leadership journey started early, from hustling in sales as a teenager to scaling businesses to multi-million-dollar success.

Meador shares why authenticity is the ultimate leadership tool—especially in marketing. His approach? Cut the fluff, get to the point, and let expertise speak for itself. He highlights how attorneys, often seen as difficult clients, actually appreciate directness and value-driven conversations. His marketing strategy focuses on thought leadership, using content to position professionals as trusted experts.

Throughout the conversation, Meador drops gold nuggets on building remote teams, firing bad clients, and using content to attract high-value leads. He also reveals why vanity metrics like views and likes are meaningless unless they convert into revenue.
