To Human, Or Not To Human? Great advice!

The "Future Is Yours: Automation, Efficiency, and Scale" episode from The Un-Billable Hour is a must-listen for any legal professional navigating the rapidly evolving landscape of technology. The conversation with Sam Mollaei on the transformative power of automation and AI in lawyer marketing, intake, and sales was both insightful and inspiring. However, what truly set this episode apart was the thoughtful discussion on the irreplaceable value of human interaction and decision-making in the legal field. The balance between embracing new technologies and recognizing the enduring importance of a live human touch provided a nuanced perspective that is often missing from conversations about the future of law. This episode leaves you pondering the pace of change and how best to integrate these advancements without losing the personal touch that defines great legal service. A thought-provoking listen indeed!

So Beneficial for All Attorneys

So grateful to find this podcast! It has a ton of advice for managing attorneys, while also providing practical insight for young attorneys. Thank you for all of the guidance on how to play a stellar role at a law firm (and be truly valuable to a supervisor).
Heather Moulder

Practical, Relevant and Necessary

This show is full of practical advice on areas of private practice that most of us attorneys wish we didn’t have to spend time on (yet need to). Listen to learn how to start treating your practice as the business it is. And then use the strategies Chris and his guests share to build a thriving practice and manage it with ease.

Chris is the “Law Firm Whisperer”

I’ve had the experience of coaching with Chris for several years. I love his podcast! He gives you actionable and practical information about how to run your law firm business. He’s honest, direct and knowledgeable about various aspects of running a profitable law firm. You don’t know what you don’t know, but Chris knows what you don’t know! Listen to this to get a leg up.

Must-listen podcast for lawyers building their practice

Most lawyers I talk to are stuck in the grind and hussle of working more and more hours to increase their take-home. This is the exact opposite of what lawyers need to do to increase their profits and decrease their stress. Christopher Anderson helps bring mental strategy into the workplace, and he brings on engaging guests who help do the same. As a lawyer, I highly recommend this podcast.
