We have a real-life example, who’s willing to talk about his journey, on the Non-Eventcast.

business-1239418_1280You know, they say “it’s never too late” — and, that’s mostly true. 

There are lots of examples of people doing new things, late in life — even making career changes. 

So you might be thinking to yourself, “Gee, is it possible to start my own law firm, even after I’ve had a whole career working as an attorney for other people?” 

Well, the answer’s yes! And we have a real-life example, who’s willing to talk about his journey. 

We invited San Antonio attorney Bud Glavy onto the Non-Eventcast podcast, to talk about his experience.

To start, Bud discusses his first career and how he made the transition from employee to business owner of his solo law firm (4:23). 

Bud then spoke about how he tries to leverage his case management software as a primary platform within his business (9:59). 

Later, Bud addressed how it has been a struggle to find time for content marketing (21:16) and how he has solved that problem, including by utilizing a content management marketing tool (24:56). 

Bud then went on to wax poetic about modern legal research tools (25:53) and how best to leverage them (27:45). 

Finally, Bud spoke about accessing bar association resources (28:01), as well as how to best utilize local document assembly software.

If you think that the time for you to own your own business is passing you by, think again!  It’s never too late – and, this podcast episode will show you why.
