Are you on a journey of success and need some helpful tips? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson chats with Marc Brown, a former big law insurance defense attorney who shares his inspiring journey to founding a successful personal injury firm and co-owning a restaurant. The conversation explores his career pivots, marketing strategies and the challenges of competing with national firms.

Marc shares his experience in pivoting in his career and what success means when starting a new path. Because he was unhappy with his career as a lawyer, he decided to leave to become an entrepreneur and found a new path of happiness. Success can come in many ways and for Marc, it was knowing he achieved his goal of being a lawyer but deciding on a new goal and pursuing it. It is completely fine to want to change your direction in life and if you decide to do so, put as much good energy out there to ensure it comes back to you when you are working on something new.

Marc and Tyson discuss personal brands and the need to stay true to yours. It is important to understand your own DNA and what you represent. Once you determine this, make it your personal brand. Learn your capabilities, what makes you happy and what you can offer people. That way, people are getting to know you for you and not only for what you offer. Being true to yourself will always lead to success!

Are you a lawyer looking to become better at video marketing? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, marketing expert Ryan Webber addresses lawyers at the MaxLawCon event, urging them to embrace video marketing to grow their practices in 2025. He debunks common excuses lawyers have for avoiding video, shares the success of his wife’s real estate law YouTube channel, and highlights how video content builds trust and attracts clients.

Marketing has changed over time and more so with the rise of the internet and social media. Many people are looking you up before they call you to get to know you and your business better. Because of this, it is important to have a presence online and have a good marketing strategy. Many lawyers have excuses for why they don’t want to be on social media or record videos as part of marketing. Whether it be not knowing how to act on camera or how to edit, not focusing on marketing can keep you from making money and getting a good reach.

When focusing on marketing, it is important to build a moat. A moat is doing something different and unique that AI or your competitors can’t do. Think about something that makes you stand out from others. Maybe it's your creativity or the type of camera equipment you use when making videos. This will make it difficult for people to copy you. Viewers love paying attention to things that are different and unique, so create something only you can do!

Are you a lawyer looking to learn about personal and professional growth? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, host Tyson Mutrux interviews Chris Earley about his unconventional path to founding a law firm, the challenges he faced in the legal profession, and his journey of personal growth. He discusses the pivotal role of mentorship, mindset shifts, and self-care practices like meditation.

Chris shares his insights on the need to address personal issues while running a law firm to ensure they don’t interfere with professional responsibilities. Being a lawyer can be very tough, especially with the types of cases seen and it can lead to irrational and heated behaviour that can affect other people. Chris tells listeners to pause and really take some time to think about your feelings before you potentially make a mistake, like sending a fiery email. It is also important to think about healthy alternatives like therapy to work through your issues.

It is really important for lawyers to be authentic. Being real and vulnerable is the best way to connect with people and network with others in the industry. For Chris, he uses LinkedIn as a platform to share real, vulnerable moments with followers. It is the perfect place to share successes and failures so others can learn, especially for fellow lawyers who are looking to learn from those who are more seasoned.
