    Ep. 33 - Why Law Firms Fail at Social Media (& How AI Solves It)

    Most law firms don’t fail at social media because they lack intelligence — they fail because they lack consistency and structured testing. In this episode of the Law Firm Growth Acceleration Podcast, we break down the two biggest bottlenecks preventing attorneys from generating real results on social media — and how AI avatars and structured split-testing completely change the game. You’ll learn: Why posting “once in a while” guarantees failureThe hidden power of the first 3–5 seconds of every videoHow AI eliminates the time constraint that kills consistencyWhy most firms shouldn’t overinvest in organic social media (yet)The smartest way to allocate 10% of your marketing budgetWhy retargeting is the most profitable use of social mediaHow large language models (LLMs) are becoming the next major battleground for legal marketingIf you’re wondering whether social media is actually worth it for your firm — or how to make it work without burning time and money — this episode will give you a clear, strategic roadmap.

    Ep. 32 - The #1 Mistake Law Firm Owners Make When Implementing AI

    AI is rapidly transforming the legal industry—but most law firms are getting it wrong. In this episode of the Law Firm Growth Acceleration Podcast, we break down the single biggest mistake law firm owners make when trying to implement AI: nobody owns it. While firms are busy testing “cool” AI tools, they fail to assign clear leadership, accountability, and strategy—causing AI initiatives to stall, fragment, or fail entirely. We explore why AI implementation should be treated like marketing, intake, or finance—with a dedicated owner—and why expecting law firm owners or already-busy teams to lead AI adoption is a recipe for frustration. You’ll learn why hiring a full-time CTO is unrealistic for most firms, how a fractional CTO model solves the problem, and how becoming an AI-first law firm can dramatically increase profitability, efficiency, and even your firm’s valuation. If you want to future-proof your firm, scale smarter, and avoid falling behind as the legal industry evolves, this episode is a must-listen.

    Ep. 29 - The Psychology Trick That Makes Clients Choose You

    Most law firms try to grow by working longer hours, spending more on ads, or cutting prices—but that’s not what actually drives clients to say yes. In this episode of the Law Firm Growth Acceleration Podcast, we break down the psychology behind high-converting legal marketing and the small messaging shifts that create massive results over time. Recorded from a live private client session in Orlando, this episode dives into proven persuasion principles you can apply immediately to your marketing, consultations, pricing, and client experience—without sounding salesy or desperate. You’ll learn how to stack tiny “1% improvements” across your firm, increase perceived value, and remove the friction that prevents prospective clients from hiring you. If you want more consultations, better clients, higher fees, and stronger referrals, this episode will fundamentally change how you think about law firm growth.

    Ep. 28 - The New Insane A.I. Video Strategy for Law Firms

    In this electrifying episode, Andy Stickel reveals the groundbreaking AI video strategies that are transforming how law firms attract clients, build authority, and dominate their local markets—without requiring attorneys to spend hours filming content. Discover how AI tools like Sora, WhisperFlow, and AI avatars are making it possible to produce unlimited high-quality videos in minutes… and how firms using these tools are rapidly outpacing those who don’t. Andy breaks down the five levels of authority for attorneys, why being the best lawyer doesn’t guarantee the highest income, and how video-driven personal branding can elevate you from “generalist” to “local celebrity.” He shares the PB&J Method for explosive content success, explains why boosting your top-performing videos is the fastest way to become the go-to expert in your area, and shows case studies of AI avatars generating thousands of views and low-cost leads. If you’ve wondered how to stand out in an oversaturated market, automate your content, or finally become the lawyer clients recognize before they ever call—this episode is your roadmap to the future of law firm marketing.

    Ep. 27 - The #1 Method Law Firms will be using in 2026 to Grow Practices...

    In this episode of the Law Firm Growth Acceleration Podcast, we uncover the single most overlooked — yet most powerful — growth methodology used by the fastest-scaling law firms: Marketing-First Scaling. Drawing from insights in the Law Firm Growth Accelerator book and comparisons to major business classics like Scaling Up, E-Myth, Traction, and Good to Great, we break down why traditional scaling models fall short for law firm owners — and why injecting more leads into your business than it can currently handle is the most reliable way to force true operational transformation. You’ll learn the three commitments every firm owner must make, how the 20-40-10 Rule creates a predictable path to financial targets, and why perfectionism learned in law school kills growth in business. Whether you're doing $500K or $5M a year, this episode reveals the exact process high-performing firms use to build an automated revenue engine, expand their legal teams, increase profitability, and create a scalable practice that doesn't depend on the owner. If you want the clearest roadmap to predictable revenue, better systems, and more freedom, this episode breaks it all down.
