Description
On this week’s episode of The Lawyer Millionaire Podcast, host Darren Wurz sits down with Ryan Mckeen, a veteran law firm owner and respected consultant who’s seen it all. If you’re ready to become a true law firm leader and not just another overworked attorney, this conversation is for you.
Ryan shares practical wisdom from years of building and advising successful law firms. He tackles the biggest myths about law firm expansion, challenges the “just hire another lawyer” mindset, and explains why most firms are a collection of people, not a business built to last.

Ryan discusses:
- The #1 mindset shift law firm owners need to break the growth ceiling.

- How investing in client experience pays off for years to come.
- The difference between linear growth and scalable growth.
