- This Podcast Changed How I Run My Firm
I found Melissa’s podcast before I ever became a coaching client, and it completely changed the way I thought about running my law firm. I wasn’t just inspired—I actually implemented ideas from the podcast around leadership, systems, profitability, and growth, and they made a real difference.
The podcast is practical, honest, and full of advice you can put into action immediately. By the time I decided to work with Melissa, I already knew the value she brings because I’d experienced it through ... more

It can still be an exciting conversation where everyon... more

Thank you Malissa for don’t flake on yourself episode. It was exactly what I needed to hear to help push me! Thank you for such great information you provide on your podcast.
Apple Podcasts5Crista-Lawfirm OwnerUnited States5 years ago - Melissa is the BEST!!!!!!
Over the years I’ve listened to dozens of podcasts for firm owners. And while there are some truly great ones out there, I find myself tuning into this one the most. Melissa’s got a real superpower for cutting through the noise and fluff & getting lawyers to focus on what really matters for business growth. Can’t recommend this podcast and Velocity Work in general enough!!
