About The Renegade Lawyer Podcast
I am more convinced than ever that nothing that traditional bar organizations are doing is going to move the needle on the sad stats on lawyer happiness ... The root cause of all lawyers' problems is financial stress. Financial stress holds you back from getting the right people on the bus, running the right systems, and being able to only do work for clients you want to work with. Financial stress keeps you in the office on nights and weekends, often doing work you hate for people you don't like, and doing that work alone. (Yes, you have permission to do only work you like doing and doing it with people you like working with.) The money stress is not because the lawyers are bad lawyers or bad people. In fact, most lawyers are good at the lawyering part and they are good people. The money stress is caused by the general lack of both business skills and an entrepreneurial mindset. Thus, good lawyers who are good people get caught up and slowed down in bringing their gifts to the world. Their families, teams, clients, and communities are not well-served because you can't serve others at your top level when you are constantly worrying about money. We can blame the law schools and the elites of the profession who are running bar organizations, but to blame anyone else for your own woes is a loser's game. It is, in itself, a restrictive, narrow, mindset that will keep you from ever seeing, let alone experiencing, a better future. Lawyers need to be in rooms with other entrepreneurs. They need to hang with people who won't tell you that your dreams are too big or that "they" or "the system "won't allow you to achieve them. They need to be in rooms where people will be in their ear telling them that their dreams are too small. Get in better rooms. That would be the first step. Second step, ignore every piece of advice any general organized bar is giving about how to make your firm or your life better.

Published 13 May 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] It's just a matter of finding the people that align with your values. And again, I think we do our very, very best to to hire based on those values before we hire on the talent. And that's really the best thing you can do. And then I think the other thing you can do is to maintain a standard and really assess people's performance and their alignment against those values. We have this year for the first time ever, we rolled out a leadership covenant, which is sort of an extra layer of values and commitments that our leaders make to the organization. And that was really born from the idea that I felt like we didn't have a standard for our leadership team. […]
