About this episode
The most successful law firm owners are not the ones who do everything themselves. They are the ones who understand their limits and build teams that fill the gaps.
In this episode, John and Darin break down the “valley of death” that traps many small firms. The stage where the business has traction but still depends entirely on the founder. When that happens, you do not really own a company. You own a very demanding job.
They explore why delegation is so difficult, the hidden cost of trying to handle everything yourself, and a practical framework for deciding what to build internally, what to hire for, and what to outsource.
If you want a firm that can grow without burning you out, this conversation is a great place to start.
