Booking Overview

This is a career-focused interview show about alternative legal careers, entrepreneurship, career changes, and the many ways lawyers and law graduates can use a law degree; episodes typically feature candid conversations with attorneys and JD holders who have built unconventional practices or businesses. PR agencies could credibly pitch lawyer-entrepreneurs, legal innovators, virtual law firm founders, authors, coaches, and professionals who have transitioned into adjacent industries; booking difficulty is low because guests are generally accessible subject-matter professionals rather than major public figures.
