The Moral Case for Being an Empire Builder (and Why the Bar has The Lawyer Wellness Problem Completely Backwards)
Description
According to many reports, most lawyers just aren't all that happy with their lives. Many don't make a lot of money, hate the work they do, don't like the teams the have hired, and are doing work for clients they don't like.
That life is miserable yet the "leaders" in the profession largely don't have a good answer to this, preferring the "well, you knew what you were signing up for when you went to law school, didn't you" argument.
Lawyers should be building their own empires and putting themselves and their own lives first. In this podcast, I give my argument for why.

What Makes The GLM Tribe Special?
In short, we are the only organization within the "business builder for lawyers" space that is led by two practicing lawyers.
One thing we're sure you've noticed is that despite the variety of options within our space, no one else is mixing
the actual practice of law with business building in the way that we are.
There are no other organizations who understand the highs and lows of running a small law firm and are engaged in talking to real clients. That is what sets GLM apart from every other organization, and it is why we have had loyal members that have been with us for two-decades.
