Every bar association is unique, so there’s a whole lot we can learn from each other. Jared chats with Julie Armstrong, executive director at the Indianapolis Bar Association, about the importance of being a culturally aware and forward-thinking organization. Julie shares their approach to strategic planning and discusses how new programs are developed by talking with members and non-members alike to understand the needs of their legal community.

And, Jared monologues on law firm fees—every lawyer’s favorite topic! We know you hate talking about money, but, honestly, you really need to. Jared’s got plenty of tips on setting appropriate fees and sticking to ‘em like glue.

As always, Jared finishes things off with the Rump Roast. He and Julie play “Hoosier Hysteria,” an Indiana trivia game highlighting popcorn, baseball, the Jackson 5, and more.

Julie Armstrong is the executive director at the Indianapolis Bar Association & Foundation.
