  • Firm founders
  • Managing partners
  • Law firm COOs
  • Medical providers
  • Litigation funders
  • Defense counsel
  • Legal tech builders

50,000

PI attorneys in the U.S.

Most of them will never run a practice worth more than $2 million a year — not because they're bad lawyers, but because nobody ever taught them the business.

That's the gap this show exists to fill.

Leslye Chapman · Episode One

The promise

Strategy, not war stories.

Most legal podcasts cover cases. This one covers the businesses behind them.

What it will be

  • Deep, strategic, peer-level conversations
  • Both sides of the table — legal and medical, plaintiff and defense
  • Case economics, operational design, settlement strategy, technology
  • A takeaway you can apply on Monday morning
Not

A parade of war stories, a platform for self-promotion, a place for legal trivia, or a chase for download counts.

Episodes

The first three drop together.

Launching with a back catalogue, so a new listener has somewhere to go after the first episode ends.

Why nobody teaches personal injury attorneys the business

Leslye opens the show alone: what she sees from the operational seat between law firms and medical providers, the three things most broken in the industry, and what this show will and won't be.

Inside an episode

Sixty minutes, built the same way every time.

Structure is the difference between a conversation and a show.

0:00 — 1:00

Cold open

Twenty seconds pulled from the middle of the interview, then the intro and the wordmark.

1:00 — 5:00

The frame

Who the guest is, why they matter, and what you'll walk away with. Set by the host, not read from a bio.

5:00 — 50:00

The conversation

Three movements: what they built, the principle behind it, and where the industry is going.

50:00 — 55:00

The Rapid Round

Five fixed questions. Every guest, every episode, no exceptions.

55:00 — 60:00

The vantage point

The host's own read on what the conversation revealed. This is what makes it a show and not an interview.

Who comes on

Six seats at the table.

Firm founders, and the people they almost never hear from directly.

01

Firm founders & managing partners

Operators who scaled, rebuilt intake, exited, or run premium boutiques.

8 of 25 seats

02

Medical providers

The half of the ecosystem most legal shows ignore — multi-site operations and documentation.

5 of 25 seats

03

Legal tech & operations

Platform founders, and the COOs who actually run the firm behind the name on the door.

4 of 25 seats

04

Capital & lien

Litigation funders and lien specialists on the economics of pre-settlement finance.

3 of 25 seats

05

The other side

Defense attorneys and carrier claims directors on what the adjuster's desk really looks like.

3 of 25 seats

06

Compliance & regulatory

Healthcare compliance counsel on structural risk and where enforcement actually looks.

Know someone who belongs in one of these seats?

Tell us who, and why — every episode ends by asking the guest the same question.

The signature segment

Five questions. Every guest, every episode.

Answers change. The questions don't — which is what makes them comparable.

01What's the single best operational decision you've made in the last three years?
02What's something most people in your seat get wrong?
03What metric do you actually watch?
04Who in this industry should more people be listening to?
05If you were starting over today, what would you build first?

The same five, in the same order, from Episode 1 to Episode 100.
