Transcript
- 0:00SPEAKER_01: And you create for yourself some pain of not doing the thing that you said you're going to do.
- 0:05SPEAKER_01: And it turns out that you'll figure it out.
- 0:07SPEAKER_01: There was this study of AI and radiologists.
- 0:10SPEAKER_01: And if you take a radiologist, he reads a study at like 87% accuracy.
- 0:15SPEAKER_01: I'm making this part up.
- 0:16SPEAKER_01: You give him AI and all of a sudden it jumps to 91% accuracy.
- 0:19SPEAKER_01: But then six months later, you take the AI away.
- 0:22SPEAKER_01: And now he's down to 75% on this app because he's forgotten the skills.
- 0:26SPEAKER_01: You are listening to Sharp Strategies Sweet Success.
- 0:52SPEAKER_00: Hello, everyone, and welcome.
- 0:54SPEAKER_00: You're listening to Sharp Strategy, Sweet Success.
- 0:57SPEAKER_00: I am your host, Tiffany Swedensky, and today we have Brian Glass.
- 1:01SPEAKER_00: I've known Brian Glass for quite a few years now,
- 1:04SPEAKER_00: trying to remember before the show how many, but I couldn't actually remember.
- 1:07SPEAKER_00: What year did you join up with Glass Law?
- 1:09SPEAKER_01: So I joined in January of 2019.
- 1:11SPEAKER_01: And you and I probably didn't interact a whole lot before that.
- 1:15SPEAKER_01: I was at a competing firm, I guess, across town.
- 1:18SPEAKER_01: So I would have hung out with James and with Ben, obviously.
- 1:21SPEAKER_01: But I don't know that you and I met until I actually started.
- 1:23SPEAKER_01: So seven and a half years.
- 1:25SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I was thinking it was about that.
- 1:26SPEAKER_00: And I actually remember tracking because it was David Marks Law.
- 1:29SPEAKER_00: I remember tracking him as an SEO competitor for Ben Glass Law.
- 1:33SPEAKER_01: You know who did all the SEO at that firm?
- 1:35SPEAKER_01: Me.
- 1:37SPEAKER_00: Oh, it's you.
- 1:37SPEAKER_00: It's me.
- 1:38SPEAKER_00: I was tracking your performance.
- 1:41SPEAKER_00: Anyway, so we have Brian on the show today and we were trying
- 1:43SPEAKER_00: to figure out what we were going to talk about before the show started.
- 1:46SPEAKER_00: And we started talking about the Google tax and that was kind of cool.
- 1:51SPEAKER_00: It sucks.
- 1:52SPEAKER_00: We built this business mostly on organic digital marketing,
- 1:55SPEAKER_00: organic SEO and on referrals, referral network.
- 2:09SPEAKER_01: As well as everybody else that referrals punch above their weights.
- 2:13SPEAKER_01: And so if you can build a third 40,
- 2:16SPEAKER_01: 50% of your cases coming in through referrals,
- 2:18SPEAKER_01: that's going to make up for 50 or 75% of your money.
- 2:21SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 2:21SPEAKER_01: And so for a long time, we just quote, didn't need.
- 2:26SPEAKER_01: We've had this very small marketing budget.
- 2:29SPEAKER_01: And as we've grown, we've spent more and more money.
- 2:31SPEAKER_01: You'd like it working here a lot now because there's actually a budget to spend
- 2:35SPEAKER_01: on digital SEO provider and we're spending a lot of money on LSAs.
- 2:38SPEAKER_01: So we had cycled through these just different categories of spend.
- 2:42SPEAKER_01: We're like, let's go take 10, $15,000 and drop it with a lead gen company and see what happens.
- 2:48SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 2:48SPEAKER_01: Okay, that doesn't work.
- 2:49SPEAKER_01: Let's take down $15,000 and turn on LSAs for a little bit.
- 2:52SPEAKER_01: Let's test PPC.
- 2:55SPEAKER_01: And the one that we keep coming back to is LSAs.
- 2:58SPEAKER_01: And what we've found and what I refer to now is the Google tax is
- 3:01SPEAKER_01: that I don't actually want any cases that are coming in through LSAs.
- 3:06SPEAKER_01: When I turn them off,
- 3:07SPEAKER_01: my SEO tanks and my Google Business Profile tanks and all of the leads shut off.
- 3:13SPEAKER_01: And then when I turn them back on,
- 3:15SPEAKER_01: I get leads through LSA and organic website and Google Business Profile.
- 3:20SPEAKER_01: The people who are clicking LSAs,
- 3:22SPEAKER_01: I do not want those cases,
- 3:24SPEAKER_01: but it seems to be the tax that you have to pay in order to generate other leads
- 3:28SPEAKER_00: through There's an interesting relationship between search and organic rankings
- 3:34SPEAKER_00: and tracking numbers and all of this stuff.
- 3:38SPEAKER_00: And so you end up with like a lot of cross pollination and nobody takes the same path.
- 3:42SPEAKER_00: Nobody clicks.
- 3:43SPEAKER_00: Well, a lot of people do,
- 3:44SPEAKER_00: but quite a few people look at an ad and then go to the website
- 3:48SPEAKER_00: or do something else, check out their reviews.
- 3:51SPEAKER_00: And so it's not a very like linear experience for your average person.
- 3:56SPEAKER_00: And then, I mean, Google is going through lawsuits.
- 3:58SPEAKER_00: Well, we've been in the ninth inning of AI search is going to take over Google for years.
- 4:16SPEAKER_01: So listen, I think just like Facebook, Facebook is dead and then Facebook is back.
- 4:22SPEAKER_01: Google is dead and then Google is back.
- 4:24SPEAKER_01: These guys employ very,
- 4:25SPEAKER_01: very smart engineers and they will find a way to keep converting people
- 4:28SPEAKER_01: who are looking for services and law firms in particular into dollar extraction
- 4:34SPEAKER_01: from law firms.
- 4:35SPEAKER_01: Like Google will figure that out.
- 4:36SPEAKER_01: I am 100% certain.
- 4:38SPEAKER_00: The data isn't very clean.
- 4:39SPEAKER_00: And this is me just telling you something interesting I learned.
- 4:42SPEAKER_00: But one of my clients' websites, you can probably guess who it is.
- 4:46SPEAKER_00: I started noticing they were getting like huge spikes in traffic and starting
- 4:51SPEAKER_00: in July or June or something like that.
- 4:53SPEAKER_00: So these huge spikes in traffic and it was bot traffic like we could tell,
- 4:57SPEAKER_00: but I didn't look into it and I didn't precisely know where it was coming from.
- 5:01SPEAKER_00: Well, I learned this week that Netta and their pursuit of a better AI is crawling
- 5:08SPEAKER_00: the Internet massively right now.
- 5:10SPEAKER_00: And one of those categories is law firm websites.
- 5:13SPEAKER_00: And so I learned that
- 5:15SPEAKER_00: and I wondered how many law firms are seeing this huge increase in bot traffic
- 5:19SPEAKER_00: and thinking it's a good thing or something's working
- 5:22SPEAKER_00: when it's just basically junk data.
- 5:24SPEAKER_00: It's kind of interesting.
- 5:26SPEAKER_01: It's a good question.
- 5:26SPEAKER_01: I paid less and less attention to what our website traffic is.
- 5:32SPEAKER_01: And really the only thing that I look at in terms
- 5:34SPEAKER_01: of statistics right now is my lead docket account.
- 5:36SPEAKER_01: How many leads do we get?
- 5:37SPEAKER_01: How many of those were qualified leads?
- 5:39SPEAKER_01: And then how many became clients?
- 5:40SPEAKER_00: How are you guys determining qualified lead now?
- 5:43SPEAKER_00: I've taken that concept to every client I've worked with.
- 5:45SPEAKER_00: And it's basically like what we were doing on the leadership team back in the day.
- 5:49SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 5:50SPEAKER_01: So a qualified lead for us in the car crash space is somebody who is injured in
- 5:55SPEAKER_01: a crash in Virginia,
- 5:57SPEAKER_01: has had medical care in the form of emergency room or urgent care,
- 6:01SPEAKER_01: and is in a follow-up sequence with a physical therapist, orthopedist, whatever.
- 6:04SPEAKER_01: And so the metric is tracked based on which category is tracked.
- 6:19SPEAKER_01: That's a category they get moved into within our lead docket account.
- 6:23SPEAKER_01: And so I say somebody who has the ability to,
- 6:25SPEAKER_01: but hasn't followed up yet,
- 6:26SPEAKER_01: because I don't really believe that you're hurt if you have health insurance,
- 6:29SPEAKER_01: you have a primary care doctor and you're calling a lawyer first to say,
- 6:32SPEAKER_01: what do I do?
- 6:33SPEAKER_01: But we'll take a category of cases where You don't have health insurance
- 6:37SPEAKER_01: and you actually don't know how to get into a doctor and
- 6:39SPEAKER_01: that person will be qualified and we'll set them up with a chiropractor
- 6:42SPEAKER_01: who we're familiar with.
- 6:43SPEAKER_01: So that's how it's categorized is by treatment type.
- 6:46SPEAKER_01: And is there every once in a while,
- 6:47SPEAKER_01: there's something that actually wasn't qualified that made it in there,
- 6:50SPEAKER_01: like there's not clear liability or whatever, but it's close enough.
- 6:54SPEAKER_01: And we've gotten to a point,
- 6:55SPEAKER_01: we have an in-house intake manager and sales team now that's really good
- 6:59SPEAKER_01: at understanding- With 90% certainty,
- 7:02SPEAKER_01: what kind of a case we want and what kind of a case we don't.
- 7:05SPEAKER_01: And then there's 10% that I just call like the weird shit cases.
- 7:08SPEAKER_01: The injury is really large,
- 7:10SPEAKER_01: but it's not immediately apparent that somebody did something wrong or
- 7:13SPEAKER_01: the injury is kind of weird and the fact pattern is weird.
- 7:16SPEAKER_01: Like those cases, she comes and asks me about, and it's probably actually less than 10%.
- 7:21SPEAKER_01: But you have to be able to have...
- 7:25SPEAKER_01: Written criteria for what a qualified case is and what it isn't.
- 7:28SPEAKER_01: Because what happens if you don't have that written criteria is you get to the end
- 7:32SPEAKER_01: of a slow month and a bunch of cases
- 7:34SPEAKER_01: that otherwise weren't qualified start looking qualified either to the intake person
- 7:39SPEAKER_01: or to the marketing director.
- 7:40SPEAKER_01: And so they might get categorized incorrectly just for purposes of,
- 7:44SPEAKER_01: I want the tracking numbers to look at.
- 7:45SPEAKER_01: And every lawyer who's taken a case and later regrets it knows this feeling it's been slow.
- 7:50SPEAKER_01: So you'll lower your standards to accept the case.
- 7:53SPEAKER_01: But we've really taken the lawyers out of that categorization and it's all triggered
- 7:58SPEAKER_01: by automation.
- 7:59SPEAKER_01: So for instance, if a retainer agreement is sent, that gets marked as qualified.
- 8:03SPEAKER_01: Somebody drops into our follow-up sequence because it's a case that we want,
- 8:06SPEAKER_01: that gets automatically marked as qualified.
- 8:08SPEAKER_01: And then the team has the ability to reject the cases for liability reasons or lack
- 8:13SPEAKER_01: of injury or it's outside of our case criteria.
- 8:15SPEAKER_01: And that gets marked as a not wanted case.
- 8:18SPEAKER_01: To answer your question, software has made it a whole lot easier than it was when you were here.
- 8:22SPEAKER_00: I think about that two or three times a week because when I was at Ben Glass Law
- 8:26SPEAKER_00: and people who follow me closely might have heard me talk about this.
- 8:29SPEAKER_00: I had like half of the day each week dedicated to looking at a spreadsheet of leads,
- 8:35SPEAKER_00: what the intake team had, things that came in from forms.
- 8:38SPEAKER_00: And I was manually reviewing marketing sources, making sure that I was right.
- 8:42SPEAKER_00: And kind of qualifying them as well, like myself, to the best of my ability.
- 8:46SPEAKER_00: That was so much harder than what it is now.
- 8:49SPEAKER_00: Automated is kind of ridiculous.
- 8:51SPEAKER_01: And you say the intake team,
- 8:53SPEAKER_01: but in 2019 and 2020, the intake team was reception and one of the lawyers.
- 8:58SPEAKER_01: And if anybody,
- 8:59SPEAKER_01: the problem with lawyers handling the intake is we skip over all
- 9:02SPEAKER_01: the attribution stuff that the marketing team wants and we jump straight
- 9:05SPEAKER_00: into problem solving.
- 9:07SPEAKER_01: The automation on the software that we have now is awesome.
- 9:09SPEAKER_01: You got to type all this information into the system.
- 9:11SPEAKER_01: If you forget to type it into the system,
- 9:14SPEAKER_01: it's all recorded, transcribed, and summarized by our VoIP system.
- 9:18SPEAKER_01: We can go back and find it if you want to go back and find it.
- 9:20SPEAKER_01: But there was so much guesswork.
- 9:23SPEAKER_01: And I think that was just the state of the small firm market in 2019 and 2020.
- 9:26SPEAKER_01: Do you think they
- 9:27SPEAKER_00: existed back then, though?
- 9:41SPEAKER_01: I don't think they did.
- 9:41SPEAKER_00: I mean, well, like the software solutions, almost certainly not.
- 9:44SPEAKER_00: I think lead docket might have existed back then.
- 9:48SPEAKER_00: And I think part of my problem back then and maybe even
- 9:50SPEAKER_00: a little bit today is like just hesitancy at new programs and new softwares
- 9:56SPEAKER_00: because it's such a pain in the butt to switch and get everyone to adopt it.
- 10:00SPEAKER_00: But like maybe it wasn't around back then,
- 10:02SPEAKER_00: but certainly all the stuff I have now in dashboards and AI and lead docket,
- 10:08SPEAKER_00: like call reel, it's so much easier than it used to be marketing attribution wise.
- 10:13SPEAKER_00: And you can get pretty precise.
- 10:15SPEAKER_01: It's really cool.
- 10:16SPEAKER_01: In your early days,
- 10:17SPEAKER_01: and this predates my time at the firm,
- 10:19SPEAKER_01: you're using Keep as a practice management software.
- 10:21SPEAKER_01: Which is crazy.
- 10:22SPEAKER_01: How you run a practice at scale using a keep CRM, I don't understand that.
- 10:27SPEAKER_01: And then we switched to Practice Panther,
- 10:28SPEAKER_01: which was marginally better for assigning tasks and for checking them off.
- 10:33SPEAKER_01: But there was no data aggregation or like all of that was done manually in
- 10:37SPEAKER_01: a Google Sheet or on Excel.
- 10:38SPEAKER_00: And then you guys went to Case Pier for a little bit,
- 10:41SPEAKER_00: but now you all are with Filevine, which is really cool from what I hear.
- 10:45SPEAKER_00: Are you planning on sticking with that for the long term?
- 10:47SPEAKER_00: Are you kind of open when it comes to softwares and stuff?
- 10:50SPEAKER_00: Because there's so much new stuff.
- 10:52SPEAKER_01: It is such a pain in the ass to switch softwares that we're planning on sticking with it.
- 10:58SPEAKER_01: So here's what I tell people about FileVine.
- 11:00SPEAKER_01: Their customer services got awful, but the product is really good.
- 11:05SPEAKER_01: And I think because of Ben and My position in the market,
- 11:07SPEAKER_01: we get taken care of on a customer service side way better than anybody else in
- 11:12SPEAKER_01: the general public does.
- 11:13SPEAKER_01: And so I don't have,
- 11:14SPEAKER_01: like I go in a,
- 11:16SPEAKER_01: there's like a FileVine user group on Facebook where people just complain
- 11:19SPEAKER_01: about them nonstop.
- 11:21SPEAKER_01: I can get my questions answered by my account rep.
- 11:24SPEAKER_01: And if my account rep can't answer it,
- 11:26SPEAKER_01: I'm friends with the product head of LeadDocket and he will find somebody
- 11:29SPEAKER_01: who will answer it for me.
- 11:30SPEAKER_01: So I don't have those issues.
- 11:32SPEAKER_01: But if you're looking for a new software,
- 11:35SPEAKER_01: you should be aware that many people do have those issues.
- 11:38SPEAKER_01: The AI is not the best AI for producing demands or medical chronologies or even
- 11:45SPEAKER_01: When generating documents, there are better software programs for that.
- 11:49SPEAKER_01: Evenup, Supio, Eve,
- 11:51SPEAKER_01: all of those will do a better job of creating demands and medical chronologies
- 11:55SPEAKER_01: for you.
- 11:55SPEAKER_01: But what I love about it is that all of my information about a case is in one place,
- 12:00SPEAKER_01: including all the notes that my team has typed in.
- 12:02SPEAKER_01: I said earlier that all of our phone calls are transcribed and summarized,
- 12:06SPEAKER_01: and they're also saved into the file.
- 12:07SPEAKER_01: Our email is integrated, and so all the emails back and forth get saved into a client's file.
- 12:12SPEAKER_01: And then all the documents are within one environment.
- 12:14SPEAKER_01: And so if I go into a case and as a case that one of my paralegals has been handling
- 12:19SPEAKER_00: for nine months and I've had minimal client interaction and
- 12:22SPEAKER_01: I want
- 12:22SPEAKER_01: to know what's going on,
- 12:23SPEAKER_01: I can query their proprietary,
- 12:25SPEAKER_01: it's called Lois AI software and say,
- 12:27SPEAKER_01: summarize the liability,
- 12:28SPEAKER_01: summarize the injuries and tell me the tone and tenor of my team's conversations
- 12:33SPEAKER_01: with the client over the last 60 days.
- 12:35SPEAKER_01: And it spits out a response in four minutes and then I could pick up the phone
- 12:37SPEAKER_01: and have a phone call with the client.
- 12:39SPEAKER_01: That would have taken me An hour or two, even in a simple case.
- 12:42SPEAKER_01: And any lawyer knows that what the client says to your team is sometimes different
- 12:46SPEAKER_01: than what the client says to you.
- 12:47SPEAKER_01: And you'll hear things.
- 12:48SPEAKER_01: We just had this issue this week on the LTD side.
- 12:51SPEAKER_01: You had a client who was complaining that somebody hadn't done X,
- 12:53SPEAKER_01: Y, Z, and you could I always hated that.
- 12:55SPEAKER_01: I always hated putting together marketing plans because
- 13:23SPEAKER_00: It took a lot of time.
- 13:24SPEAKER_00: People would look at it for 30 minutes within a meeting and then never again.
- 13:28SPEAKER_00: And then I was still the only person you have to follow the steps of it.
- 13:32SPEAKER_00: And so it's in my head.
- 13:33SPEAKER_00: So what's the point?
- 13:34SPEAKER_00: But now that's so much easier.
- 13:35SPEAKER_00: Today, this morning, I reviewed a website.
- 13:38SPEAKER_00: Did like an audio transcription of me commentating on the website,
- 13:42SPEAKER_00: uploaded meeting transcripts I had with that SEO company and then the client
- 13:46SPEAKER_00: about their website,
- 13:48SPEAKER_00: made project for that in ChatGPT and asked it to take my transcription and make it
- 13:53SPEAKER_00: into a digestible, easy to read report on what changes I was requesting in the site.
- 13:58SPEAKER_00: And it did so beautifully.
- 14:00SPEAKER_00: And I mean,
- 14:00SPEAKER_00: it still took me like time to put all this stuff together,
- 14:03SPEAKER_00: but like I couldn't have done that five years ago.
- 14:05SPEAKER_00: That would have been I would have been really cool if I was doing that five years ago.
- 14:09SPEAKER_00: But now a marketing agency can whip something up like that.
- 14:12SPEAKER_00: No problem if they have the right resources.
- 14:15SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 14:15SPEAKER_01: I mean, the problem that you described with systems where you create them
- 14:18SPEAKER_01: and you hand them off and then nobody ever looks at them again.
- 14:20SPEAKER_01: There's every system in every law firm.
- 14:22SPEAKER_01: You spend a quarter writing out, here's what we do in every case.
- 14:24SPEAKER_01: And we roll it out and then nobody ever looks at it again.
- 14:28SPEAKER_01: But with AI, you can say, here's the system that I want you to follow and give it to...
- 14:32SPEAKER_01: And then you watch it work.
- 14:33SPEAKER_01: So I don't know.
- 14:34SPEAKER_01: And you seem to have found a way that actually makes it efficient in your business.
- 14:38SPEAKER_01: Most people I think have found it or still using it as a glorified search engine.
- 14:41SPEAKER_01: And I do that.
- 14:42SPEAKER_01: Probably 50% of my use is glorified search engine use, but it's made our lives far simpler.
- 14:48SPEAKER_00: Speaking of work-life balance,
- 14:49SPEAKER_00: trying to find an awkward transition to actually the one thing I did want
- 14:52SPEAKER_00: to ask you, how the hell do you do all those vacations?
- 14:55SPEAKER_00: Maybe I'm just, the problem is me, but I'm also spending so much time away from the house.
- 14:59SPEAKER_00: You got to hold shit down at home.
- 15:00SPEAKER_00: At home?
- 15:01SPEAKER_01: I'll take your family with me.
- 15:03SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah, yeah, for sure.
- 15:04SPEAKER_00: But I don't know.
- 15:05SPEAKER_00: I got 10 chickens and two dogs and I just get mad.
- 15:08SPEAKER_00: You've been out all summer.
- 15:10SPEAKER_01: My eight-year-old keeps asking for a dog and
- 15:13SPEAKER_00: we would not be able to travel if we had a dog.
- 15:15SPEAKER_01: No, I mean, a couple of things.
- 15:16SPEAKER_01: So number one, I have a great team at the office that takes care of all of the day-to-day legal.
- 15:21SPEAKER_01: I mean, I think back to a time when I was doing all of the follow-up calls to all of
- 15:27SPEAKER_01: the clients and all the check-ins.
- 15:29SPEAKER_01: And I got a team of people that does that now, including a couple of people overseas, right?
- 15:33SPEAKER_01: And one of the things that we've been able to do in
- 15:35SPEAKER_01: the worldwide economy is push jobs like medical records collection.
- 15:40SPEAKER_01: All the way down the pay scale to somebody in the Philippines.
- 15:43SPEAKER_01: This is a job you used to hire a 21,
- 15:45SPEAKER_01: 22 year old kid,
- 15:46SPEAKER_01: first out of college,
- 15:47SPEAKER_01: who would show up hung over half the time,
- 15:50SPEAKER_01: but never survived in that position for longer than 12 or 18 months.
- 15:54SPEAKER_01: Because it was an entry level position.
- 15:55SPEAKER_01: And so I can operate our practice by and large.
- 16:10SPEAKER_01: I can charge from wherever I want with a cell phone and a computer and a headset if I need to.
- 16:15SPEAKER_01: Honestly, we just made the decision a couple of years ago to just start traveling more.
- 16:19SPEAKER_01: Part of it is I was in Greece maybe four years ago now,
- 16:22SPEAKER_01: and I'm getting off the plane in Greece and there's like 25 wheelchairs.
- 16:25SPEAKER_01: I'm not coming to Greece.
- 16:27SPEAKER_01: I'm not waiting to travel the world until I need a wheelchair
- 16:29SPEAKER_01: to get myself around cobblestone streets in ancient towns.
- 16:43SPEAKER_01: So we just made a decision and we just started doing it and the world,
- 16:46SPEAKER_01: things have taken care of themselves.
- 16:47SPEAKER_01: Now it helps to be in a contingency fee practice.
- 16:49SPEAKER_01: It helps to not be tied to the billable hour and it helps to have
- 16:52SPEAKER_01: a great team that's really in between me and most clients on most cases.
- 16:57SPEAKER_01: Where do you want to go?
- 16:58SPEAKER_01: Me?
- 16:59SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 16:59SPEAKER_00: That's part of the problem.
- 17:01SPEAKER_00: I lack imagination.
- 17:02SPEAKER_00: So we want to go to Scotland and actually going to go to Lake Tahoe this fall.
- 17:07SPEAKER_00: So that's a trip I have to make a decision on this week.
- 17:09SPEAKER_00: What's the decision?
- 17:10SPEAKER_00: To tell my assistant to go ahead.
- 17:11SPEAKER_00: I got to talk to people about the dogs.
- 17:13SPEAKER_00: You mentioned the dogs and it's just...
- 17:15SPEAKER_01: You go, this is the wrong way to go about it.
- 17:17SPEAKER_01: Book the trip and figure everything else out.
- 17:19SPEAKER_01: So in Thanksgiving of 2023, we're at my in-law's house.
- 17:23SPEAKER_01: And I'd had too many glasses of wine.
- 17:25SPEAKER_01: And I said, you know what?
- 17:25SPEAKER_01: Summer of 25,
- 17:26SPEAKER_01: we're going to Italy for three weeks and I'm going to rent a big house
- 17:29SPEAKER_01: and whoever can come over can come over and you stay as long as you want.
- 17:33SPEAKER_01: It's the same as like running a race or losing weight.
- 17:36SPEAKER_01: You just fucking put it out in the world and you create for yourself a Some pain
- 17:41SPEAKER_01: of not doing the thing that you said you're going to do.
- 17:44SPEAKER_01: And it turns out that you'll figure it out.
- 17:46SPEAKER_01: I had no idea how I was going to leave the practice for three weeks when I was at
- 17:49SPEAKER_01: the time still doing all of the sales calls,
- 17:52SPEAKER_01: at least all the high level sales calls when I was handling all the large cases.
- 17:55SPEAKER_01: But you know what?
- 17:55SPEAKER_01: It just worked out.
- 17:56SPEAKER_01: Your Tahoe trip is the exact same way.
- 17:59SPEAKER_01: Worry about the dogs after you buy the plane tickets.
- 18:01SPEAKER_01: Because if you buy the plane tickets and you spend the money on that and you have
- 18:03SPEAKER_01: a hotel to go to, you're going to figure out a way to get the dogs taken care of.
- 18:07SPEAKER_00: I didn't want you to turn this question around on me because I knew that would be
- 18:10SPEAKER_00: the advice you go and I don't want to do that.
- 18:11SPEAKER_00: I got to figure something out.
- 18:12SPEAKER_00: But that is the way to do it.
- 18:14SPEAKER_00: And that's kind of how I lost weight telling people I was going to do it.
- 18:18SPEAKER_00: And it creates like this commitment of you have to do it.
- 18:21SPEAKER_00: And then also for me,
- 18:22SPEAKER_00: I had a fitness coach,
- 18:24SPEAKER_00: nutrition coach or whatever, and you're paying them each month.
- 18:27SPEAKER_00: So you don't want to.
- 18:31SPEAKER_01: Or you don't pay him each month.
- 18:32SPEAKER_01: You say, can I have a 10% discount?
- 18:34SPEAKER_01: I'll give you all the money for 2026 right now.
- 18:36SPEAKER_01: And then you're the asshole who's not following the plan three months in
- 18:39SPEAKER_01: for something you paid for 12 months of.
- 18:41SPEAKER_01: There's all kinds of mental strategies like this to put The thing that holds us back
- 18:46SPEAKER_01: from that is our fear of actually doing the thing.
- 18:50SPEAKER_01: What happens if it actually works?
- 18:52SPEAKER_01: Or what happens if I try it and it doesn't work?
- 18:53SPEAKER_01: Actually, that's the fear.
- 18:54SPEAKER_01: What happens if I try it and it doesn't work and people look at me and they go,
- 18:59SPEAKER_01: how stupid is she for trying to lose weight and it didn't work?
- 19:02SPEAKER_01: Nobody's actually thinking about you.
- 19:04SPEAKER_01: Most people aren't thinking about you.
- 19:05SPEAKER_01: Some people are.
- 19:06SPEAKER_01: But nobody who matters is actually thinking about you and judging you for your failures.
- 19:10SPEAKER_00: So I don't like a threat.
- 19:11SPEAKER_00: It's like some people are.
- 19:12SPEAKER_00: And it's like, ooh, the trick that I'll share with you and I guess the listeners.
- 19:15SPEAKER_00: So I had to get better at delegating.
- 19:18SPEAKER_00: And I just really had to because I wasn't leveraging my team the way I should.
- 19:22SPEAKER_00: They were asking me for stuff to do.
- 19:24SPEAKER_00: And I know I got to get better at this.
- 19:25SPEAKER_00: But It's the classic problem.
- 19:27SPEAKER_00: You come to the thing that you have to delegate and you're like, oh, I'll just do it real quick.
- 19:30SPEAKER_00: Just take 10 minutes.
- 19:32SPEAKER_00: So I actually just started working from my phone.
- 19:35SPEAKER_00: I'd go to the park or somewhere else in the house on the porch and work
- 19:39SPEAKER_00: from my email and from my phone.
- 19:41SPEAKER_00: And I can't open any programs.
- 19:43SPEAKER_00: I can't open my project management board.
- 19:45SPEAKER_00: So I'm telling people to do stuff instead through Slack or email.
- 19:49SPEAKER_00: And it worked.
- 19:50SPEAKER_00: It worked so well.
- 19:51SPEAKER_00: I basically have a whole day where that's all I do is just work from my phone
- 19:54SPEAKER_00: because that's all I can do is communicate what needs to be done to the team
- 19:58SPEAKER_00: and they take care of the rest.
- 19:59SPEAKER_00: And it's just a silly little small change, but it ended up working for me.
- 20:03SPEAKER_01: And what would happen if you didn't work on your phone that day?
- 20:05SPEAKER_00: Like at all?
- 20:07SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 20:07SPEAKER_01: Does the team generally have an idea of what to be doing on Tiffany's Tuesday work
- 20:14SPEAKER_01: from my phone day?
- 20:15SPEAKER_01: Or do they need to be sitting by their computers waiting for the instructions
- 20:20SPEAKER_01: to land in their inbox at 9.14?
- 20:22SPEAKER_00: Well, so we use a project management system and so everything goes to
- 20:27SPEAKER_00: the project management board.
- 20:29SPEAKER_00: And this is one of those things where AI was cool for a while and
- 20:32SPEAKER_00: then I ended up hiring somebody, but I had my note taker attend a meeting.
- 20:36SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 20:37SPEAKER_00: I had my note taker attend all meetings.
- 20:39SPEAKER_00: I had an agent set up that would digest the transcript and make it a project on
- 20:44SPEAKER_00: the project management board.
- 20:46SPEAKER_00: And I would just have to go in and update it.
- 20:47SPEAKER_00: But just even that part of Tiffany going in and updating it was burdensome.
- 20:53SPEAKER_00: And there's a lot of AI-ishness to it where it's like stuff we didn't need to do,
- 20:58SPEAKER_00: kind of took the notes in the wrong direction.
- 21:01SPEAKER_00: And so you'd have to do a lot of cleanup.
- 21:03SPEAKER_00: And I basically hired a project manager slash community manager.
- 21:07SPEAKER_00: And that's her whole job is, one, making a task list of things for me to do.
- 21:12SPEAKER_00: So that's nice.
- 21:13SPEAKER_00: Like I've got a prepackaged list of things I got to work on that day.
- 21:17SPEAKER_00: And then following up with the vendors,
- 21:19SPEAKER_00: the law firm teams,
- 21:21SPEAKER_00: whoever's accountable and just getting updates from them because that's
- 21:24SPEAKER_00: the other kind of problem of what I do.
- 21:27SPEAKER_00: And so I've used that project management board for a long time.
- 21:30SPEAKER_00: So everyone always has things to do.
- 21:32SPEAKER_00: We have certain things we're doing on certain days,
- 21:34SPEAKER_00: but still,
- 21:35SPEAKER_00: I was the bottleneck,
- 21:37SPEAKER_00: the classic kind of point person who's going to put final eyes on things
- 21:41SPEAKER_00: or do specific things.
- 21:43SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 21:43SPEAKER_01: I mean, you're still the talent, right?
- 21:45SPEAKER_01: You're, it's almost like a solo law firm owner where the client wants to talk to you.
- 21:49SPEAKER_01: So I can see where that's a challenge from the vacation standpoint,
- 21:53SPEAKER_01: but I would fuck it, book it, like
- 21:56SPEAKER_00: just book.
- 21:58SPEAKER_01: Figure it out later and tell your clients that they should be doing the same thing.
- 22:02SPEAKER_00: I mean, I'm working my way up there.
- 22:03SPEAKER_00: I'm still in the grind phase of starting my business.
- 22:07SPEAKER_00: And for me,
- 22:07SPEAKER_00: the next person is that fractional CMO,
- 22:11SPEAKER_00: the person who's a marketer with that experience and Sharp Cookie is the systems
- 22:17SPEAKER_00: to some degree.
- 22:18SPEAKER_00: At least that's the vision I have right now.
- 22:20SPEAKER_00: I wanted to ask you,
- 22:20SPEAKER_00: because I saw on LinkedIn that you were doing an AI or presentation about AI today,
- 22:25SPEAKER_00: I think.
- 22:26SPEAKER_00: Are you using ChatGPT or Claude right now?
- 22:28SPEAKER_00: I guess I'll start there.
- 22:29SPEAKER_01: I just did that thing where I imported all my ChatGPT data over to Claude.
- 22:33SPEAKER_00: Why'd you do that?
- 22:34SPEAKER_00: Maybe I'm just stuck with my software.
- 22:36SPEAKER_00: I'm just like, why do I have to move?
- 22:37SPEAKER_00: Why did you move to Claude?
- 22:38SPEAKER_01: I think the output is better.
- 22:40SPEAKER_01: And I appreciate that as different models come out on the different platforms,
- 22:44SPEAKER_01: one is a little bit ahead of the other, one is a little bit...
- 22:46SPEAKER_01: But the way that I have been using Claude is in law firm planning,
- 22:52SPEAKER_01: succession planning, and in like it's a financial dashboard for my personal life.
- 22:57SPEAKER_01: And Claude is really good at creating dashboards and simulations where you say,
- 23:02SPEAKER_01: okay, what if we grew by 12%?
- 23:04SPEAKER_01: Okay, what if it was 15?
- 23:05SPEAKER_01: What if it was 20?
- 23:06SPEAKER_01: What does that look like?
- 23:07SPEAKER_01: I haven't figured out how to do that in chat GPT.
- 23:09SPEAKER_01: And so I was having these conversations.
- 23:11SPEAKER_01: I was doing this in Claude, but I was getting frustrated that I'd been on GPT for years.
- 23:20SPEAKER_01: I just
- 23:29SPEAKER_01: think it's a better engine for what I'm using AI for right now.
- 23:32SPEAKER_00: I guess I got to test it.
- 23:34SPEAKER_00: These AI programs have an invisible moat built around them with those memories
- 23:38SPEAKER_00: because once you start using it to a certain point,
- 23:40SPEAKER_00: you do have to do this kind of data export to get your data to the new LLM
- 23:44SPEAKER_00: so it Really has to be justified.
- 23:47SPEAKER_00: I was telling Jason and he didn't get it.
- 23:49SPEAKER_00: But where I kind of think where I want to go is investing in my own AI.
- 23:55SPEAKER_00: Because Claude and ChatGPT, in my view, are only going to get more expensive.
- 23:59SPEAKER_00: And every SaaS tool that's built on Claude or ChatGPT,
- 24:03SPEAKER_00: essentially a wrapper,
- 24:04SPEAKER_00: whenever the base prices for those tools go up,
- 24:08SPEAKER_00: and they certainly will,
- 24:09SPEAKER_00: then the Cost to use those tools is going to go up proportionately
- 24:14SPEAKER_00: and maybe even more than that.
- 24:16SPEAKER_00: And so for me and for my personal use and maybe for company use,
- 24:20SPEAKER_00: I think I'm building a second PC and making that like the AI PC
- 24:25SPEAKER_00: because you can get open source models these days, train them.
- 24:29SPEAKER_00: But the question is how you want to do that at a point when
- 24:32SPEAKER_00: the technology has advanced to where the open source models are good enough.
- 24:37SPEAKER_00: And then not do it so late or so early where you're kind of investing in the wrong point.
- 24:43SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 24:44SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
- 24:45SPEAKER_01: You are smarter and more technologically savvy than I am.
- 24:48SPEAKER_01: And so maybe that's something that you could do and then keep up with.
- 24:51SPEAKER_01: The challenge would be the keeping up with it.
- 24:53SPEAKER_01: But, you know,
- 24:54SPEAKER_01: it reminds me of my marketing department three years ago where it was like,
- 24:59SPEAKER_01: oh, we'll just learn how to do that.
- 25:00SPEAKER_01: Oh, we'll just learn how to run Facebook ads.
- 25:02SPEAKER_01: Oh, we'll just learn how we'll just learn retargeting.
- 25:05SPEAKER_01: We'll just learn SEO.
- 25:06SPEAKER_01: And at a certain point,
- 25:07SPEAKER_01: everything's getting more expensive,
- 25:09SPEAKER_01: but it's way more efficient to just buy it from somebody
- 25:12SPEAKER_01: who already knows what they're doing.
- 25:13SPEAKER_00: I can't disagree with you on that legitimately because I've even gotten to
- 25:16SPEAKER_00: that place where let's just get the person who's really good at the thing.
- 25:20SPEAKER_00: Let's just get the tool that's really good at the thing.
- 25:22SPEAKER_00: For me though,
- 25:23SPEAKER_00: like the power of querying these tools and building up
- 25:26SPEAKER_00: that proprietary knowledge is super important.
- 25:29SPEAKER_00: And then you do have to know enough.
- 25:31SPEAKER_00: You do have to,
- 25:32SPEAKER_00: you said earlier,
- 25:33SPEAKER_00: boring AI conversation where it's ultimately have a human look at anything.
- 25:37SPEAKER_00: That's Still good advice, but the human is what enhances the tool.
- 25:41SPEAKER_00: And so I feel like everyone should be learning.
- 25:43SPEAKER_01: We're having this discussion in the mastermind group,
- 25:45SPEAKER_01: and I forget whether you were still in the room or not.
- 25:48SPEAKER_01: But one of the challenges that we're having in
- 25:50SPEAKER_01: the law firm is we have this capability to write demand letters in our software,
- 25:55SPEAKER_01: but the demand letters that our software produces are not very good.
- 25:58SPEAKER_01: And then I'm asking my team,
- 26:00SPEAKER_01: who's younger,
- 26:01SPEAKER_01: to go in and edit the demand letter that's already been written and make it good.
- 26:05SPEAKER_01: The challenge is, though,
- 26:06SPEAKER_01: they're so young,
- 26:06SPEAKER_01: they've never been in an environment where they had to do it on their own.
- 26:09SPEAKER_01: And so I don't think they actually know what a good one is.
- 26:11SPEAKER_01: Looks like yet.
- 26:12SPEAKER_01: It's exactly the same thing.
- 26:13SPEAKER_01: You have to know,
- 26:14SPEAKER_01: have enough of a base knowledge so that you can edit the output so
- 26:19SPEAKER_01: that you know what good looks like.
- 26:22SPEAKER_01: There was this study of AI and radiologists.
- 26:26SPEAKER_01: And if you You take a radiologist,
- 26:27SPEAKER_01: he reads it, I don't know, reads a study at like 87% accuracy.
- 26:31SPEAKER_01: I'm making this part up.
- 26:32SPEAKER_01: You give him AI and all of a sudden it jumps to 91% accuracy.
- 26:36SPEAKER_01: But then six months later, you take the AI away.
- 26:39SPEAKER_01: And now he's down to 75% on his own because he's forgotten the skill.
- 26:43SPEAKER_01: And I think maybe we'll end up back in the middle ages or the dark ages, right?
- 26:46SPEAKER_01: Where we lose 700 years of history because people forget how to write things on their own.
- 26:52SPEAKER_00: I'm reading a short story to that effect.
- 26:54SPEAKER_00: Well, I won't tell you about it.
- 26:55SPEAKER_00: It's a good story though.
- 26:56SPEAKER_00: But like, I mean, it's the same issue with copywriting because you have AI do copywriting.
- 27:01SPEAKER_00: I'm not claiming to be the best copywriter, but I have pretty good base of copywriting training.
- 27:06SPEAKER_00: I look at a headline and I'm like,
- 27:07SPEAKER_00: that's not good because XYZ, particularly the here's how it could be better.
- 27:11SPEAKER_00: I think that's the important thing because AI can do good enough.
- 27:14SPEAKER_00: You have to, how can it be better?
- 27:16SPEAKER_00: That way.
- 27:17SPEAKER_00: And so that training and haste,
- 27:20SPEAKER_00: I guess,
- 27:21SPEAKER_00: when we're talking about creative stuff is important when it comes to getting
- 27:25SPEAKER_00: a better output,
- 27:25SPEAKER_00: because people are starting to expect that they're starting to expect more than
- 27:29SPEAKER_00: the AI.
- 27:30SPEAKER_00: And I think that's where businesses can really kind of learn to enhance themselves.
- 27:34SPEAKER_01: I think it has made a lot of people lazy.
- 27:37SPEAKER_01: The ability to easily put out content, particularly on LinkedIn, has made people really lazy.
- 27:42SPEAKER_01: And it's an opportunity for people that are not lazy to differentiate themselves,
- 27:47SPEAKER_01: but it takes more time.
- 27:48SPEAKER_01: And so that we'll see what happens.
- 27:49SPEAKER_00: Honestly, well,
- 27:50SPEAKER_00: and I should talk to you about social media because everything I try to do,
- 27:55SPEAKER_00: you end up posting something and it does better than the thing that I do.
- 27:58SPEAKER_00: I made a Lindsay Clancy video and then you made one and it did better than me.
- 28:02SPEAKER_00: And I was like, this...
- 28:04SPEAKER_00: I've learned,
- 28:08SPEAKER_01: Tiffany,
- 28:11SPEAKER_00: that the
- 28:17SPEAKER_01: secret to social media of virality is to just get people to argue
- 28:21SPEAKER_01: with each other in the comments.
- 28:22SPEAKER_01: Daryl Champion was kind enough to invite Ben and I down to his suite for
- 28:25SPEAKER_01: the World Cup semifinal,
- 28:27SPEAKER_01: and there was a fight between Argentinian and English fans,
- 28:30SPEAKER_01: and I posted a video of And it got 2.5 million views because it's just Argentinians
- 28:36SPEAKER_01: and English people arguing with themselves in the comments about which one was
- 28:40SPEAKER_01: the greater asshole.
- 28:41SPEAKER_01: It's interesting because you and I both tried to create content
- 28:45SPEAKER_01: that was either law firm centric or marketing centric or digital centric.
- 28:49SPEAKER_01: And I'll speak for myself.
- 28:51SPEAKER_01: Nobody cared.
- 28:53SPEAKER_00: Nobody cared.
- 28:56SPEAKER_01: And then you start posting these,
- 28:57SPEAKER_01: you're doing weightlifting videos and I'm doing more personality stuff.
- 29:02SPEAKER_01: And I don't know whether it hits my target market at all,
- 29:05SPEAKER_01: but I don't think that it matters for this reason, right?
- 29:08SPEAKER_01: I've said,
- 29:09SPEAKER_01: I don't think social media for It's where people go to make sure that you're not
- 29:12SPEAKER_01: a lunatic after they've
- 29:28SPEAKER_01: And so having,
- 29:30SPEAKER_01: you can have your informational stuff on YouTube and they can find you there
- 29:32SPEAKER_01: on your website,
- 29:34SPEAKER_01: but having personality driven content on Instagram or TikTok or LinkedIn
- 29:39SPEAKER_01: or whatever your platform of choice is,
- 29:41SPEAKER_01: I think is the better idea because our customers, we talk all the time.
- 29:44SPEAKER_01: We want them to know, like us and trust us.
- 29:46SPEAKER_01: That doesn't come from,
- 29:47SPEAKER_01: he knows more about I think the commentary you did is probably just exactly
- 29:52SPEAKER_01: the commentary lawyers should make because that one, that trial is insane.
- 29:55SPEAKER_01: I can't believe the discourse on it.
- 29:56SPEAKER_01: It's unbelievable.
- 29:57SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 30:12SPEAKER_00: Well, and there's also an element to you build a following and to that following,
- 30:17SPEAKER_00: you become that person.
- 30:18SPEAKER_00: You become the lawyer, the marketer, whoever, and they will refer cases to you.
- 30:23SPEAKER_00: And then there's an element of list building and nurturing to it as well.
- 30:26SPEAKER_00: And this is more relevant to me as a vendor in a relatively small industry
- 30:32SPEAKER_00: among personal injury attorneys.
- 30:33SPEAKER_01: But people see those weightlifting videos and I kind of hate it.
- 30:36SPEAKER_00: And they're like, oh, I saw your weightlifting videos.
- 30:37SPEAKER_00: And I'm like, but they remember me like it makes me come to mind.
- 30:42SPEAKER_00: And it has that value in that way.
- 30:44SPEAKER_00: And it's kind of like a long-term sales play.
- 30:47SPEAKER_01: It's the Italy trip for me.
- 30:48SPEAKER_01: People come up to me at conferences and say,
- 30:50SPEAKER_01: can I have your Italy notes or where you stayed or restaurants or itinerary.
- 30:55SPEAKER_01: It's something interesting that's not what you're selling that gives people
- 31:00SPEAKER_01: an opportunity to come and talk to you about.
- 31:02SPEAKER_01: Wow.
- 31:02SPEAKER_01: I think it's, I wish I had done this years ago.
- 31:04SPEAKER_00: It becomes an anchor.
- 31:05SPEAKER_00: And I actually,
- 31:06SPEAKER_00: I'd almost want to argue with Ben about this, but he probably wouldn't tolerate it.
- 31:10SPEAKER_00: But I think there's an element of Dan Kennedy list building and
- 31:13SPEAKER_00: the whole social media discourse.
- 31:15SPEAKER_00: You build a list that way.
- 31:16SPEAKER_00: That's how a lot of influencers do it.
- 31:17SPEAKER_00: Dan Kennedy hates social media,
- 31:19SPEAKER_00: but that's the modern day equivalent of getting your tribe going.
- 31:23SPEAKER_01: I mean, he'd call it maybe rented media,
- 31:25SPEAKER_01: but it's certainly easier to build on somebody else's platform.
- 31:29SPEAKER_01: And then you can drive them to an email list,
- 31:31SPEAKER_01: but I think that's challenging to do from social media and
- 31:33SPEAKER_01: who wants more fucking email.
- 31:36SPEAKER_00: Well, it works.
- 31:36SPEAKER_00: That's the trick, how to get them off social media.
- 31:39SPEAKER_00: That's I've told the story before and we're almost at time,
- 31:42SPEAKER_00: but that's how I got onto my weight loss coaches program,
- 31:45SPEAKER_00: social media, email list, fail.
- 31:48SPEAKER_00: And I'll never forget that.
- 31:49SPEAKER_00: I'll use that example a million times till the day I die probably.
- 31:52SPEAKER_00: So we're at the end of the episode.
- 31:54SPEAKER_00: I have two traditional questions.
- 31:57SPEAKER_00: Was there anything you wanted to talk about that we didn't actually cover on the episode?
- 32:00SPEAKER_00: No.
- 32:03SPEAKER_00: You're going to
- 32:04SPEAKER_00: leave that in.
- 32:05SPEAKER_00: That's where you plug things.
- 32:06SPEAKER_00: That's where you sell shit, Ryan.
- 32:10SPEAKER_01: I am not good at direct selling stuff.
- 32:14SPEAKER_01: I think if people consume enough of my content and hang out with me for long enough
- 32:20SPEAKER_01: and they want to buy, they'll ask.
- 32:22SPEAKER_01: I am shit at, and this is the next thing.
- 32:25SPEAKER_01: I could have sold that better than you.
- 32:26SPEAKER_01: I'm just saying.
- 32:26SPEAKER_01: I should have pitched.
- 32:27SPEAKER_01: I should have pitched.
- 32:54SPEAKER_00: We'll remember that next time.
- 32:55SPEAKER_01: I'll buy a commercial in the rest of your podcast and we'll see.
- 32:58SPEAKER_01: We'll see whose offer code gets more taken.
- 33:00SPEAKER_00: I need to start advertising on my own damn show.
- 33:02SPEAKER_00: Like if I'm being honest, where do you want people to look you up and learn more about you?
- 33:06SPEAKER_01: Oh, now I want you to go to my Instagram and my TikTok at thebrianglass.
- 33:10SPEAKER_01: You can see all the Lindsay Clancy videos you can take.
- 33:14SPEAKER_01: I'm now Lindsay Clancy trial commentator.
- 33:16SPEAKER_01: There's only one now.
- 33:18SPEAKER_01: This is what I do now.
- 33:19SPEAKER_01: Now I just watch Massachusetts Criminal Law on YouTube TV and comment on it
- 33:24SPEAKER_01: and get people to fight in the comment section.
- 33:26SPEAKER_00: I feel like there's two good trials attorneys could cover each year.
- 33:30SPEAKER_00: That seems to be the cadence as far as like really public good trials.
- 33:35SPEAKER_00: Last one was Cardi B.
- 33:37SPEAKER_01: I don't even know that one.
- 33:38SPEAKER_01: I would have said the last one...
- 33:41SPEAKER_01: Was Brendan Banfield in Fairfax County,
- 33:44SPEAKER_01: the Au Pair murder trial, although that was like January.
- 33:47SPEAKER_01: And then the one before that was the dude in Atlanta who I think Brian Steele is
- 33:51SPEAKER_01: the criminal defense lawyer.
- 33:53SPEAKER_01: It was some kind of gang, but also music label affiliated murder trial.
- 33:58SPEAKER_01: And the lawyer like got sent to jail for contempt for,
- 34:01SPEAKER_01: I forget what he did now, but I remember the judge sending him to jail.
- 34:04SPEAKER_01: I think there's almost always something on TV.
- 34:06SPEAKER_00: Well, true.
- 34:07SPEAKER_00: There's always some drama to cover.
- 34:09SPEAKER_00: And I don't know why.
- 34:10SPEAKER_00: If you follow through and start making good content, you're going to be the example.
- 34:14SPEAKER_00: Here, see, just do this.
- 34:16SPEAKER_00: I will do that forever.
- 34:17SPEAKER_01: So I don't know.
- 34:18SPEAKER_01: Maybe that's, I think you would need an EA to, and probably with AI, you could do this, right?
- 34:22SPEAKER_01: Hey, find me the clip and give me the talking point.
- 34:25SPEAKER_01: But then it's not authentic.
- 34:27SPEAKER_01: Otherwise, you got to watch the whole thing yourself.
- 34:29SPEAKER_01: I haven't watched any of that trial.
- 34:31SPEAKER_01: All I know, I know because I've seen the conspiracy theorists on social media.
- 34:35SPEAKER_01: Like once you have watched one video to completion,
- 34:37SPEAKER_01: now your next 15 videos are other conspiracy theorists.
- 34:41SPEAKER_00: The algorithm is kind of sticky that way.
- 34:43SPEAKER_00: That's awesome.
- 34:43SPEAKER_00: You got to do your research.
- 34:45SPEAKER_01: Gives the people what they want.
- 34:46SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 34:46SPEAKER_00: Well, thanks so much, Brian, for being on the show.
- 34:49SPEAKER_00: And thanks everyone for listening.
- 34:50SPEAKER_00: We'll see everyone next time.
