Great Practice. Great Life. by Atticus

As an attorney running my own practice, I thought the phrase "work-life balance" was a mythical creature, like Bigfoot or a judge who never interrupts. But then I stumbled upon Great Practice, Great Life by Atticus, and let me tell you—it’s a game-changer. This podcast doesn’t just talk about managing your law practice; it speaks to your soul (and your calendar). Steve Riley has packed the episodes with wisdom and relatable humor, and they get what it means to juggle client demands, court deadlines, and, oh yeah, family life. Since tuning in, I’ve learned strategies to streamline my practice, say “no” to time-sucking distractions, and—most importantly—actually make it home for dinner with my wife and seven-year-old son. My son even remember what I look like now! The hosts and guests are like the dream team of legal mentorship—smart, engaging, and refreshingly honest about the ups and downs of the profession. They serve up actionable advice with just the right amount of wit and humanity to keep you hooked. If you’re ready to transform your practice and reclaim your life (maybe even take a weekend off?!), this podcast is your golden ticket. Five stars, two thumbs up, and a high-five to Steve and Atticus for making my practice—and my family life—so much better.

This podcast is worth a subscribe and starting off your week with a listen. It’s incredible the kind of nuggets that Steve is able to pull from his interviewees to help lawyers with their practice and their purpose. Sure I’m biased as one of Atticus’ program facilitators, but I also have a unique view into the programs inside and outside of the Atticus ecosphere. I can tell you that this podcast gives you a direct pass into the best thinking that the Atticus community has to share with lawyers and team leaders. Even as someone inside of the fold, I don’t miss a single episode.

I’m a law firm owner and I’m constantly trying to find guidance in the busy, demanding work life of a managing attorney. I find this podcast to be very insightful, and it constantly gets my wheels turning. I have my spouse and my staff listen to this as well. The podcasts are also inspiring- I love hearing from other attorneys to hear how they overcome their struggles.

Steve Riley’s Podcast is THERAPY for lawyers who are overwhelmed and feel hopeless about building a better practice and living a better life. It’s therapy because the podcast teaches you that the answers are within you. It’s about changing your mindset. Each episode will give you an entirely new perspective as to how view your practice and your life. And with each episode you acquire the building blocks to change your thought process. Without changing your viewpoint, you’re not even on the right path. Each episode is a journey with people at the top of their game who generously want to share their expertise and who genuinely want to help. Behavioral assessments, marketing, communication, organization, systems, processes, high conflict individuals, focus, time management, hiring, time off, great adventures are all on the menu with a great life as your final course. Listen for your clients. Listen for your team. Listen for your family. And listen for yourself. You will be inspired, educated and motivated. Thank you Atticus for your mission. Thank you Steve for being such a good and decent person and selflessly helping others with your extraordinary talent, knowledge and caring. Do yourself a favor and start on this journey. You won’t look back. Most gratefully, Angel Leal
