Sometimes it’s better to get things done than to be a perfectionist. Don’t let it keep you from moving forward. Share your passion. Chances are someone else is passionate about the same thing you are.

51. Ed Ciarimboli - Why Trial Lawyers Should Advertise and Buying and Selling a Law Firm

Should you put your face on a billboard? What about starting a TV show? Do people still use the Yellow Pages? Can I get leads off of magnets in 2023? Is there money in acquiring law firms? Get answers to all these questions and more as we discuss advertising and acquisition with Pennsylvania attorney Ed Ciarimboli.Attorney Ed Ciarimboli concentrates his practice on trucking and auto collision and medical malpractice litigation. Ed began the Safe Prom Pledge in 2010 to promote a drug-free and alcohol-free prom night for students throughout Eastern Pennsylvania. To date, they have spoken to more than 25,000 high school students about the dangers of driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol. As of this podcast’s release he has also completed acquisition of three outside law firms and is working on a fourth. On this week's episode, Maria sits down with Ed at the MTMP conference in Las Vegas. They discuss the benefits of offline advertising, how a couple magnets turned into a lot of business, why juggling got Ed 20,000 views on social media, and the best ways to sell or acquire a law firm.Key takeawaysYou never know where your next lead may come from. Be open to new marketing opportunities. Whether it’s television, billboards, social media, SEO, conferences or charity events, always be networking, and be on the lookout for new connections.Always plan your exit strategy. Don’t wake up one day at 75 and realize you have no way out. Build your business to be sellable or have a plan for succession. Why put all that hard work to waste because you didn’t think ahead?Don’t let screens mesmerize your kids. A bit of time on the tablet is ok, but don’t let it consume their life.

49. Jay Vauhgn - Traumatic Brain Injury Cases: Understanding Them, Working Them, & Educating Others

Traumatic brain injury (TBI), one of Jay’s areas of expertise, is a leading cause of death and disability among children and young adults in the United States. Each year an estimated 1.5 million Americans sustain a TBI.Jay Vaughn has made a career out of helping TBI victims. He is one of the first attorneys to be board certified in truck accident law by the National Board of Trial Advocacy. Since 2013, he has been named to the Kentucky Super Lawyers, which recognizes only 5 percent of attorneys in Kentucky. Jay understands that his clients have had their lives turned upside down and works tirelessly to achieve justice for them.On this week's episode, Jay goes in depth on what it’s like working with clients living with TBIs. We talk about why it can be so hard for them to find justice and what you can do to educate others about this condition. And we discuss billboard marketing and whether advertising really works.Key takeawaysBrain injuries are not always obvious. Just because someone isn’t falling over or slurring their speech, doesn’t mean they are ok. Many symptoms of mild brain injury hide under the surface and without treatment can lead to long term repercussions. It’s ok to have a billboard. Many lawyers see billboards as beneath them, but not everyone agrees. In 2022 over 6.2 billion was spent on billboard advertising. All those people can’t be wrong. Can they?Do what you can to educate others. Many people stay uneducated when it comes to recognizing TBI symptoms. Take a moment to pass along some of the knowledge you gained from this podcast. You could end up saving someone’s life.Concussion Quick Check for iPhoneCDC - Traumatic Brain Injury & ConcussionCDC - Acute Concussion EvaluationTo contact Jay Vaughn, visit https://justicestartshere.com/ or follow him on instagram @thegingerwolverineTip The Scales PodcastTip the Scales InstagramTip the Scales TikTokTip the Scales YoutubeMaria Monroy InstagramMaria Monroy LinkedInLawRank WebsiteLawRank InstagramLawRank TikTokLawRank X (Formerly Twitter)LawRank FacebookLawRank LinkedInHendy Johnson Vaughn Emery WebsiteHendy Johnson Vaughn Emery InstagramHendy Johnson Vaughn Emery FacebookHendy Johnson Vaughn Emery X (Formerly Twitter)Hendy Johnson Vaughn Emery LinkedInHendy Johnson Vaughn Emery YouTubePrevious Guests: Andre Regard, Bob Simon, Mark Anderson, Chad Dudley, Bob Simon, Gary Sarner, Jen Gore-Cuthbert, Muhammad Ramadan, Amanda Baggett, Sara Williams, Joe Fried, Bibi Fell, Sahm Manouchehri, Sevy Fisher, Taly Goody, Teresa Diep, Dan Ambrose, Rick Ferri, Glen Lerner, and many othersOther episodes you might enjoy:4.
