From an AI-animated dog in our last YouTube video to literally every segment of this one being about AI – are we making it clear how important this stuff is becoming yet?

This week, we're thrilled to have the insightful Mitch Jackson share his crucial tips on how AI won’t replace you, but make you a way better lawyer. You want to be practically superhuman? You need to be staying on top of this stuff, and Mitch shares how you can do it.

But the AI doesn't just get discussed; it actively engages in the conversation three separate times! With both Jared and Mitch taking the time to talk to their phones, and AI literally stealing the host chair for segment, this is our deepest AI dive yet (don't worry, we'll back off AI... eventually).

Tune in to understand the real impact of artificial intelligence on the legal profession and get actionable advice from a leading expert.

And speaking of working to not get replaced, don't forget to take a listen to our latest Spotify playlist. It's all about things that don't exist anymore.
