What are some of your proudest achievements from the past year? The “Employment Law Now” podcast has certainly expanded my legal practice. But the thing I am actually most proud of is the benefit it provides to other counsel around the country. I have received countless e-mails from lawyers, HR professionals, and law students saying that they feel as if I am a mentor to them (even though we don’t know each other) and that the regular content in my podcast is hugely educational. Part of being a good lawyer is giving back to the profession, and I am extremely proud that I have been able to contribute in this way.

What, if any, obstacles stood in the way of your innovation, and how did you overcome them? The hardest thing about launching the podcast was learning how to provide excellent content on a consistent basis in the right format. I wanted to address the hottest employment law trends and developments that would most interest listeners, but also develop a singular voice and style that people could come to expect in every episode (rather than a rotating carousel of different attorneys). As I try to expand into video through YouTube, it will be similarly challenging to identify the right content and develop a signature presentation style that works best for this new medium.
