The GLM Tribe's Philosophy: How Leaders Handle Conflict in a Law Firm and Why Turnover is Often the Best Thing to Happen for Everyone Involved

If you have ever wondered whether you would be a good match for Great Legal Marketing (GLM) and it's founder's philosophy of life and law, then this is the the episode to listen to.GLM is not for everyone and we don't try to be. We firmly reject the status quo, think most state bar organizations don't understand why many lawyer are sad and depressed and wouldn't know what to say if a law firm owner came to them and asked: "can you help me build a better life for myself and my family." Before a gathering of leaders of some of the largest plaintiff law firms in the country, Ben Glass took lessons from the soccer refereeing world  to show law firm owners how to grow a team that loves coming to work for you.  This the "secret" to your own happiness, he argues: Figure out what you want from life, build a business that is fully aligned with that life and one in which team members can thrive in their own lives and then find people who are inspired by that story.Over time, folks will come and they will go. As Ben often says: the people who travel with you to a certain level of success are often not the people who can run with you to the next level.That's life and we all have to be OK with that. Listen in as Ben reveals his "magic question" that almost no one is brave enough to ask (but should ask of spouse, business partner and team members!)  and brings in what he has learned about the human brain as he raised nine children, including four adopted from hard places.Get ready for a transformative episode of The Renegade Lawyer Podcast.

Greg Dupont's Vision: Ushering in a New Era of Legal Practice

Have you ever wondered how the legal world could overcome its common pitfalls and offer a more comprehensive approach to clients? That's exactly what we uncover in this captivating conversation with Greg Dupont, a seasoned wealth planner and estate planner hailing from Dublin, Ohio. Greg takes us on his journey from his law school days to his realization that a holistic approach is the key to enhancing legal practices. He sprinkles his narrative with insightful stories, including one about a family that, despite having advisors in each field, lacked a trusted advisor to guide them through complex legal matters.Our conversation branches into exploring the Well Solutions Network, an innovative platform developed by Greg. This network empowers attorneys to streamline solutions for their clients swiftly and potentially triple their revenue. It's not just about the money, though. Greg emphasizes the priceless value of trust in the legal profession and how the industry has often inflated costs trying to secure this trust. If you've ever considered joining a network like this or wondered how it could augment your legal practice, you'll find this discussion eye-opening.As we navigate through this dialogue, we also touch on the Legal Practice Membership and AI Levels offered by the Wealth Solutions Network. These tools and resources equip attorneys with the necessary support to assist their clients in managing state taxes, credit card debt, student loan debt, and mortgages. Moreover, we delve into how AI and GPT can help lawyers expedite document production while staying abreast of the commoditization of the practice. Lastly, we shine light on the Lawyer Podcast and Legal Marketing Community to illustrate the immense benefits Well Solutions Network membership can offer attorneys eager to grow their businesses.Ben Glass is a nationally recognized personal injury and long-term disability insurance attorney in Fairfax, VA.
