He Thought His Nephew Could Handle It: Why Law Firms Should Think Twice Before Hiring a Freelancer for Marketing

Your reputation, compliance, and client trust are too important to gamble. A small but growing law firm had a relative, fresh out of college, running their website and social media. He knew design tools, posted a few graphics, and even wrote blogs using the latest AI tools. But nothing was optimized for SEO. No one checked for legal ethics violations.

It Wasn’t Until a Patient Complained : Why Medical Marketing Needs More Than a Creative Freelancer

They thought a freelancer was enough. A women’s health clinic in Texas hired a freelancer to manage their website and social media. Things looked fine at first. A few posts got posted, and the website was revamped with new services. But no one was tracking the results. The content was far from medically accurate. Worst of all, a patient form collected personal health information with no encryption.   It wasn’t until a patient complained that the practice realized they were exposed both legally and...

Buying vs Buying-In

Problem → Customers who Buy from you without Buying into you. Most businesses ask, “How do we get people to buy?” A reasonable question to be sure. A better question is, “How do we help them believe, buy into our culture, and feel ownership over their decision?” People buy for lots of reasons that may not include buying into our brand. When people buy-in to the brand, they don’t just make a purchase—they commit. They connect. They believe. That belief drives loyalty, referrals,...

And the moment passes. This isn’t about time management. It’s about moment management. We lose momentum not because we lack time, but because we don’t win these small moments of hesitation, distraction, and procrastination. But what if the key isn’t forcing action—but creating space in the moment, then acting from that space? 1...

The Raw Truth about AI from Behind the Scenes
