From the outside, growth looks linear. From the inside, it never is.
When I sat down with Laura Ramos James, we talked about the parts of building a law firm that don’t make it into highlight reels. The moments when the firm grows but you’re stretched thinner. When hiring helps and complicates things at the same time. When success creates opportunity, but also exhaustion.
What if the real challenge isn’t growth itself, but who you have to become to sustain it?
