What can a law firm learn from a tech startup? In this episode, I sit down with Manny Griffiths , CEO and co-founder of Hona, to talk about how his journey, from selling pest control door to door to building a 67-person legal tech company, is full of lessons for law firm owners looking to grow without burning out. We talk about: The real-world use cases for AI in law firms (including after-hours lead capture) Why “automate the redundant to empower the personal” is more than a catchy phrase How to hire and fire with clarity, and why doing both faster might save your culture What pain journaling is, and how it’s boosting settlement values for personal injury firms Manny also opens up about Hona’s early days: working out of his basement, building a sales team through a window, and how venture capital changed their growth trajectory.
