Maximum Lawyer

Maximum Lawyer takes a completely different angle from every other show on this list. Instead of analyzing court cases or Supreme Court opinions, hosts Tyson Mutrux and Jim Hacking focus on the business of running a law firm. With 917 episodes, a 4.9-star rating, and weekly drops running 20 to 50 minutes each, the show has become a trusted resource for attorneys who want to build sustainable practices without burning out. The format is interview-heavy. Mutrux and Hacking bring on law firm owners, business consultants, marketing specialists, and leadership coaches to talk about the unglamorous but essential work of running a legal practice. Topics include client intake systems, hiring and retaining staff, managing cash flow, marketing strategies that actually work, and building firm culture. These are the things they definitely did not teach in law school but that determine whether a firm survives its first five years. What keeps the show grounded is that both hosts are practicing attorneys who built their own firms from scratch. They are not just theorizing about business growth; they have lived through the mistakes and learned from them. The conversations have a practical, roll-up-your-sleeves quality that you rarely find in business podcasts, which tend to stay at a high altitude. Maximum Lawyer gets specific. You will hear actual numbers, real strategies, and honest accounts of what did not work. For solo practitioners and small firm owners trying to figure out the business side of law, this podcast fills a gap that almost nothing else addresses.
