Are you a lawyer who is looking to become a firm owner in the future? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer podcast, Tyson engages in a conversation with Jayden Doye, a CPA and business owner, who shares their journey from a financially constrained upbringing to establishing a successful firm.

Transitioning from employee to business owner comes with a lot of hard work and lessons learned. Jayden speaks to the need for coaching when going from working for a firm to owning and operating a firm. Using a sales funnel, Jayden learned through coaching the importance of using social media, like Facebook to market to potential clients. Though coaching takes time and money in investments, it can turn you into a high valued attorney down the line.

Coaching has also helped Jayden change his thinking when transitioning to a business owner. One of the things he changed was the need to niche down to lawyers. It is important to try to understand early on what type of law you want to get into. From that point, you network and talk with lawyers in that space to understand how best to work in that space.

In this follow-up to last week's conversation, Tyson asks a different but equally powerful question: If a law firm wants to dominate in 2030, what marketing should they STOP focusing on right now? Tyson shares a candid voice memo response from Ryan Weber (yes, not Jeremy!), a sharp marketing mind in the legal space. Ryan’s answer flips the script on traditional marketing advice, with a focus on building powerful boutique brands, moving beyond Google-centric strategies, and positioning law firms like media companies. Tyson adds his own insights on the shift toward AI, LLM optimization, and how firms can stay ahead of the massive marketing changes already underway.

Are you a law firm owner looking for some advice on running a successful firm? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer podcast, Tyson engages in a conversation with Josh Stein, a personal injury lawyer, about the evolving landscape of personal injury law and the challenges of running a law firm.

Running a law firm is a challenging task even for seasoned attorneys. Josh speaks to the benefits of working alongside a mentor to help navigate the journey of firm ownership. Law school will not teach you the business side of things, which is what Josh learned from his mentor. Whether it be learning how to work with a client, going through audits or mastering the art of tax season, a mentor is crucial to learning the ropes and running a successful law firm.

Authenticity is an important trait to have as an attorney. Being true to yourself as a person will translate in how you work with clients. When informing clients about their cases, especially if they are calling to inquire about their situation, be upfront and honest about how you can help (if you can help at all) and let them know how things will play out. This will help the client in the long run and save both of you a lot of time.

Are you looking to learn from another lawyer about lessons learned in the legal space? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer podcast, host Tyson Mutrux interviews Brett Stewart about his career journey, highlighting both his successes and failures. Brett shares valuable insights into the risks he took in business, the challenges of leadership, and the importance of fostering a healthy team environment.

Brett chats about the need to create a healthy team for a successful law firm. A healthy team has good conflict where people can share ideas and there is a sense of security where leaders will appreciate the feedback or thoughts of those under them. Another thing to consider is to establish team roles and who should do what. It is important to understand from the perspective of the owner how you want your team to look. Consult those on the team to get opinions on who should be responsible for what and how the team should function. It is best to do this collaboratively to ensure everyone is happy and knows their roles.

Using EOS systems is an integral part of running a successful firm. It is important to figure out how to use a system to fit your goals, without weakening it. EOS can make complicated systems or processes a lot easier, but it shouldn't be used to manage or control every part of your firm. Brett shares how EOS should be used to shine a light on the important things that need it and your staff should manage everything else.
