This week, host Greg McCollum explores one of the toughest questions for aspiring legal entrepreneurs: Do you have what it takes to start and grow your law firm? Drawing from years of experience, Greg reveals the real challenges of building a business from the ground up—far beyond just having the money or the office space. You will discover the unfiltered realities of leadership, sacrifice, and the relentless problem-solving every criminal defense lawyer must master as a business owner. He shares why most who try don't succeed, and what qualities set the successful few apart, and explains why being excellent and standing out is both a risk and a necessity for real growth. This episode is essential listening for criminal defense lawyers who want to scale their practice to the million-dollar mark and beyond, or who aim to determine whether firm ownership is right for them.
