Every business succeeds or fails based on decisions: making good ones and recovering from bad ones. “Sounds like a pretty rudimentary concept,” says Gideon Asen founder Ben Gideon. To break down that concept, Ben and firm COO Jeff Wright reflect on how decision-making has informed Gideon Asen and its growth. They also dissect crucial contradictions – between the right idea at the wrong time, paid consultants versus honest mentors, and dissenters versus yes-men – that can separate a good decision from a bad one.

Jerry Zhou and childhood friend Kyle Lam had vast skills in software development by the time Covid hit and they left Microsoft. That’s when they sat down at a Starbucks and wrote “all the ideas that we had about things that we thought we could contribute to the world.” Their coffee-house brainstorming eventually turned into Supio, a developer of legal AI for personal injury firms and a sponsor of “Build & Grow Your Law Firm.” Hosts Ben Gideon and Jeff Wright unravel Jerry’s reflections about finding product-market fit with plaintiff trial lawyers and scaling from a "shadiest part of Seattle" office to a 150-plus employee company with Series B funding. Tune in for his insights about taking the entrepreneurial leap and building sustainable business growth.Learn More and Connect☑️ Jerry Zhou | LinkedIn☑️ Supio on LinkedIn | Instagram | Facebook☑️ 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

Megan Piper says that her job coaching entrepreneurs “is to help them succeed and then to get out of the way.” To do this, she teaches a model called EOS, or “entrepreneurial operating system.” And while EOS is “industry agnostic,” Megan explains to hosts Ben Gideon and Jeff Wright that law firms can use it to clarify their vision, drive accountability, and scale effectively. But they have to buy into core principles, including healthy partner communication and a clear organizational structure. Tune in as she describes the “beautiful simplicity” of EOS. “We can teach people in just a couple of hours some really basic principles that you do not need an MBA to understand,” she says.Learn More and Connect☑️ Megan Piper | LinkedIn☑️ EOS Worldwide on LinkedIn | Instagram | Facebook | 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 a...
