What do type A lawyers, podcast editing, sweet delusion, and four different recording cities have in common? Kyla Denanyoh. In this solo episode, Kyla celebrates her 10-year law school graduation anniversary and the 5-year milestone of the You Are A Lawyer podcast by sharing 10 things you (probably) didn’t know about her. From launching a podcast with no experience to accidentally becoming a manager again, this is a personal, honest, and very Kyla conversation about risk, creativity, and the joy of just talking.

Lawyer Side Hustles

You Are A Lawyer started as a passion project and quickly became Kyla’s side hustle. Then it became a business. Now, she runs podcast editing services, offers LinkedIn strategy and social media support, and works exclusively with business owners and creatives who are building something worth talking about.

“I work with business owners... You are an author, you're selling books, you are trying to get monetized... Sharing your story will just boost everything else,” shares Kyla Denanyoh in Episode 190 of You Are a Lawyer.

And yes—she loves editing. She talks about it like writing a letter, like storytelling with scissors. She's not afraid to slice up an audio file, reframe a conversation, or make something clearer. That’s where her creativity shines. And that’s what keeps this podcast growing, season after season.

LISTEN TO LEARN

• Why risk-taking gets easier with practice (and why Kyla actually enjoys it now)
• What she never expected to do—but is doing anyway (hint: managing a team, editing audio, running a business…)
• How her love of words led her to create a podcast that’s now in its 13th season

WE ALSO DISCUSS

• Why she only edits podcasts for business owners (and why it’s a hell yes)
• How delusion, when used correctly, is a strategy
• The surprising ways creativity shows up—even when you’re a “classically trained lawyer”
