They explore the balance between process-driven marketing and outcome-based goals, why attribution is often misleading, and how law firms should think about websites, content, reviews, and authority building in a post-AI, post-blog era. Tifiny also delivers a strong warning about AI hype, failed implementations, and shortcut marketing promises that distract firms from fundamentals.

This episode is packed with practical advice for firm owners who want predictable growth without chasing trends, including what to do if you only have two hours per week to spend on marketing and where most firms unknowingly lose cases before they ever sign.
