📚 What if writing a book could do more for your law firm than any networking event ever could? In this episode, Mike interviews attorney and self-published author Joel Ankney, who shares how becoming an author helped him attract better clients, land speaking gigs, and build a more authentic, sustainable brand—all without traditional marketing tactics. Whether you’re an introvert, a legal tech skeptic, or just tired of the same old strategies, this conversation opens the door to a bold, book-based path forward.
📌 Key Takeaways:
- Self-publishing can be a powerful branding tool for solo and small firm lawyers.
- A book creates instant credibility, even if no one reads it.
- Writing discipline—not publishing complexity—is the real challenge (and opportunity).
