    How To Make All Systems Go, with Ben Gideon and Jeff Wright
    Mar 13 2026

    The law firm that runs on systems runs better — but you have to actually follow them. Ben Gideon reflects on a "best practice breakfast" that exposed that hard truth. In this episode, he and Gideon Asen COO Jeff Wright break down why a systems-based approach is the engine behind law firm growth. They share candid lessons about what makes systems fail, including lack of buy-in, absent accountability, and leadership that doesn't model the behavior it demands.

    The Profit First Method, with Mike Michalowicz
    Jan 30 2026
    Entrepreneurs may think that taking an accounting class or learning leadership skills will help them manage their businesses. “I call BS on that,” says Mike Michalowicz. His “Profit First” system encourages entrepreneurs to do what they would naturally do. “Whatever your natural flow is, go with it, and you’ll travel so much further,” he explains to hosts Jeff Wright and Taylor Asen. Mike reflects on his journey from losing it all as a failed angel investor to becoming a bestselling author, entrepreneur, and speaker. Tune in as he breaks down “Profit First” and highlights his new book, “The Money Habit,” which helps entrepreneurs go beyond deploying “Profit First” in their businesses and into their personal finances.Learn More and Connect☑️ Mike Michalowicz | LinkedIn☑️ Mike Michalowicz on LinkedIn | Facebook | Instagram | Substack | TikTok☑️ Ben Gideon | LinkedIn | Facebook | Instagram☑️ Taylor Asen | LinkedIn☑️ Jeff Wright☑️ Gideon Asen on LinkedIn | Facebook | YouTube | Instagram | X☑️ Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTubeProduced and Powered by LawPodsSponsored by Supio, VisionSpark, and 1% for the Planet.

Alec visits with Jeff and Ben Gideon to pull back the curtain on how he identifies killer talent.

  • Core Values that Matter, with Ben Gideon and Jeff Wright

    Core Values that Matter, with Ben Gideon and Jeff Wright
    Dec 19 2025

    Creating culture isn't about hiring people and forcing them to adopt your values—it's about finding people who already share them. Hosts Ben Gideon and Jeff Wright discuss how Gideon Asen transformed from vague attribute lists like "integrity" and "compassion" to specific, actionable core values that drive hiring, firing, and daily operations. Tune in as they break down lessons learned including: generic traits fail ("every business wants somebody who works hard"). So do core values that are stuffed in a drawer and forgotten (“we keep it front and center”).

  • Building ‘Comes Down to Balance’, with Andrew Garza

    Building ‘Comes Down to Balance’, with Andrew Garza
    Nov 21 2025
    “Even if it's going to mean we're less profitable, short term, if it provides sanity, we're going to do it,” Andrew Garza says as he reflects on his entrepreneurial journey, including co-founding Claggett, Sykes & Garza Trial Lawyers. “It all comes down to a balance.” In this wide-ranging conversation with hosts Ben Gideon and Jeff Wright, Andrew reveals how balance informs the firm’s decisions, from balancing automation and systems to balancing referrals and digital marketing. He also describes why the hardest decisions typically surround maintaining your law firm’s culture, why he rejects the myth of work-life balance, and why he doesn’t mind if the firm’s job posting turns people off. Spoiler: If it turns you off, you’re not a fit.Learn More and Connect☑️ Andrew Garza | LinkedIn☑️ Claggett, Sykes & Garza Trial Lawyers on LinkedIn | Instagram | Facebook | X | YouTube ☑️ Ben Gideon | LinkedIn | Facebook | Instagram☑️ Jeff Wright☑️ Gideon Asen on LinkedIn | Facebook | YouTube | Instagram | X ☑️ Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTubeProduced and Powered by LawPodsSponsored by Supio, VisionSpark, and 1% for the Planet.
