I’m Luis Scott, managing partner of Bader Scott Injury Lawyers one of the fastest growing law firms in the country. And I’m also the co-founder of 8 Figure Firm Consulting. I’ve successfully built multiple companies by focusing on leadership, operations and culture. Using these principles, my companies have generated close to $100 million in revenue. But before any of this success, I started my legal career as a receptionist, and I worked my way up to becoming managing partner. And each episode of this podcast I sit down with leaders and entrepreneurs who have had the guts to step out on their own, and the courage to face adversity. They share with us their tips for achievement, the challenges they have faced and the glory of success. I welcome you to The Guts and Glory Show.
Luis Scott here, host of The Guts and Glory Show, I feature top leaders who share the obstacles and challenges of leadership, the guts it takes to succeed and the glory of success. Today, you will hear another inspiring interview from attorney and author and real estate investor, Audrey Chisholm, who is literally changing the lives of millions of people around the country by helping individuals start a nonprofit of their own. But before we get started a message from our sponsor 8 Figure Firm Consulting at 8 Figure Firm, we help law firms take their business from seven to eight figures by keeping lawyers away from the work they hate, so that they can focus on the impacts they love. You know, I remember starting my law firm and having to work 70,80 hours a week to try to make partner and then I realized that I didn’t even know what I was doing. I had no idea how to run a business. And Audrey as a lawyer, you probably understand this concept. You’re starting a business, you have no idea what’s going on. Absolutely your firm. Yeah, at 8 Figure Firm, what we do is we help people develop a business that works for them instead of them working for the business. So turn your law firm into a law business by going to www.8figurefirm.com. So today, I have the pleasure of introducing not only our guests, but a good friend of mine, Audrey Chisholm, who’s the owner and CEO of Chisholm Law Firm based out of Orlando, Florida. She’s also a real estate investor and author of Start a 501c3 Nonprofit That Doesn’t Ruin Your Life.
