I’ve been spending more and more time educating myself on artificial intelligence. And this week, I came across a perspective that stopped me in my tracks:

“AI is only useful if you can quickly and easily validate its output. In other words, it’s good at doing grunt work for experts — not expert work for novices.”

I’ve been spending more and more time educating myself on artificial intelligence. Not because I’m trying to become a technologist, but because I want to understand what AI is (and what it’s not) so I can help my clients run their firms with clarity, confidence, and strategy.

Week 1: Networking Is Not Selling — It’s Building a Life of Options

isn’t taught in school, and yet it’s one of the most important skills a person can develop.

And in a world where so much communication happens through screens, the ability to connect with people — genuinely, confidently, and consistently — matters more than ever.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve found myself having the same conversation again and again — with clients, with colleagues, and even with my own kids and their friends who are graduating college. Everyone is talking about networking.

When Is the Right Time to Hire?

Almost every law‑firm owner I work with wrestles with the same internal conflict:

“I know we need help… but I’m afraid to hire too soon. I’m overwhelmed… but I’m afraid to increase payroll. The tension is constant — and I don’t know how to decide.”

This isn’t a personality issue. It’s not a confidence issue.

But here’s the truth:
You can’t “feel” your way into the right hiring decision. You have to measure your way into it.

Once you know what to measure, the conflict disappears.

Almost every law‑firm owner I work with wrestles with the same internal conflict: “I know we need help… but I’m afraid to hire too soon. I’m overwhelmed… but I’m afraid to increase payroll.

If Life Were Certain, It Would Be Boring

Other than death, taxes, (and the rising and setting of the sun) very little is guaranteed. Everything else, to some extent is a mystery to be played out day by day.

As humans, we crave certainty. We want guarantees. We want predictability.

But the truth — the uncomfortable, unavoidable truth — is this: Nothing in life is certain.

I was at church today, and during the homily the priest spoke about the apostles and the uncertainty they faced — how they lived in that space between hope and fear, faith and doubt, clarity and confusion. It struck me immediately because it’s the same space so many of my clients live in.

In this episode of Missing Briefs, hosts Dominic Grew and Bob Furlong sit down with Chris Earley, founder of Earley Law Group Injury Lawyers. Chris shares his raw and inspiring journey from "stumbling" into law school and starting his practice with no money and no network, to building one of Boston’s most recognizable injury firms.

Chris opens up about the "turbulence" of entrepreneurship, the pivotal client story that gave his career purpose, and the hard-earned lessons he learned about treating a law firm like a business. Whether you're a solo practitioner or a seasoned firm owner, Chris's insights on networking, servant leadership, and overcoming the "brainwashing" of law school are must-watch advice.

⚖️ In this episode, we discuss:
▪ Starting from Ground Zero: How Chris "hung a shingle" out of necessity and survived the early days.
▪ Finding Purpose: The story of a client named Maria and how it transformed Chris’s view of personal injury law.
▪ The "Business of Law": Why lawyers must unlearn law school habits to successfully manage a team and grow.
▪ Servant Leadership: How focusing on helping others (referral partners and clients) fuels long-term success.
▪ Masterminds & Networking: The importance of learning from peers and being a "student of the business."

This week I came across an article. At first glance, it’s a piece about parenting in an AI‑driven world. But when I read it, my immediate reaction was:
“So what? How does this relate to my clients? Why should lawyers care?”
And then it clicked. Here’s what I saw in it for you.

I’ve been spending an increasing amount of time researching and learning about AI — not to turn lawyers into technologists, but to understand where the real opportunities are for small‑firm owners who want to stay competitive, relevant, and profitable. This week I came across an article by Xia...

What happens when a successful trial lawyer decides she no longer wants to be a "slave to the trial calendar"?. In this episode of Missing Briefs, hosts Dominic Grew and Bob Furlong sit down with Amy Mariani, founder of Mariani Mediation, to discuss her journey from 20 years of high-stakes litigation to building a thriving mediation practice in Boston.

Amy shares the "spark" that led her to the law in the 7th grade and why she eventually chose to pivot her career to regain control of her time and lifestyle. She offers a candid look at the challenges of starting a solo firm, including the "loneliness at the top" and the hurdles of rebranding oneself as an impartial mediator after decades as an advocate.

⚖️ In this episode, we discuss:
▪ The "Forward-Thinking" Pivot: Why Amy began planning her exit from trial law 15 years before she actually made the move.
▪ Business Plan Pitfalls: The lessons Amy learned by trial and error when launching her firm in 2016.
▪ The Power of Re-Education: How to train your existing network to see you in a completely new professional light.
▪ The Long Game: Why it can take years for traditional networks to transition into referral sources for a new practice.

⚖️ About Our Guest:
Amy Mariani is the owner of Mariani Mediation, specializing in resolving disputes through creative negotiation in the areas of employment, personal injury, and business disputes.

Last week I shared a personal story—one that struck a nerve with many of you. I wrote about how I cancelled my ChatGPT account. The problem wasn’t “AI.” The problem was the absence of a human being when it mattered. And that is exactly the lesson small‑firm lawyers need to hear right now.

• Overcoming "Type-A" tendencies and mastering the art of delegation to successfully scale and grow a practice.
