About This Podcast

John Avi Socha (COO @ Hemmat Law), Darin Fenn (Founder and CEO at LegalRev), and Carolyn Stevens (Director of Talent @ Hemmat Law) sit down to talk about what actually grows a law firm, and what quietly kills it. Each episode pulls apart real decisions, near-misses, and unglamorous wins that turn into growing revenue, better margins, and a secure future. No inspirational fluff – just clear-eyed verdicts on what to double down on, what to stop doing, and when to hit the gas without burning out or setting your good name on fire.
