Gyi and Conrad kick off the episode with the latest news, homing in on Bob Ambrogi’s coverage of Clio’s Legal Trends for Solo Law Firms, with data showing how small firms using tech fared better during the pandemic.
And they rant about the 8-steps-to-great-abs trend hitting legal marketing. Dubbed as fear-of-missing-out (FOMO) marketing, Conrad and Gyi explain how not to fall for get-rich-quick schemes and impulse moves.
Instead, they advise focusing on approaches and best practices that stand the test of time. Where might one learn more about best practices and the latest trends?
