Matt Uhler sits down with Mike Grossman, author of Failure Is an Option and a veteran CEO of six venture-funded companies. Mike explains how two failed attempts to take a company public led to an acquisition worth meaningfully more than the IPO. He covers why you should focus on inputs instead of outcomes and the danger of chasing adjacent opportunities. He also explains when it's worth defying your board, why spending discipline matters, and how a fully remote team of 300+ changed his view on recruiting.
Colleen Joyce, CEO of Lawyer.com, joins Matt Uhler to share how she built an eight-figure legal marketplace from a single room and a great domain name. She explains her "sell it, then build it" approach, why the team that gets you to $1 million usually isn't the team that gets you to $20 million, and how a money-losing live events experiment became a profitable annual conference. Colleen and Matt also dig into fast failure, learning to delegate, and what AI really means for lawyers and the people who need them.
