Disability Warriors: The boardroom. Is Podcasting a BIG NO for Lawyers?

Everyone and their mother has a podcast these days,  so is it actually worth it? In this episode, Michael sits down with trial attorney Alan Tittle, future president of the Ohio Association for Justice, for a refreshingly honest conversation about whether podcasting still works as business development for lawyers.Alan explains why his firm built a podcast room and then decided not to use it, and the two dig into what's really driving results: not long-form clips, but short, actionable social content (Michael shares how a strategy shift led to 20+ million views across Instagram and Facebook in a single month). They also unpack the rise of "podcast funnels" from legal marketing companies, why community marketing still delivers the most bang for your buck, and how Liner Legal's Backwards Hat Gives Back program ties social media revenue to national health nonprofits.Whether you're a lawyer weighing your own marketing strategy or just curious how the disability law world is adapting, this one's full of candid insight.Need help with your disability claim?

Disability Warriors: The Boardroom. Suits, Swagger & Substance: The Authenticity Edge in Law

What does it really take to build an authentic brand as an attorney, and does AI threaten any of it?In this episode of Disability Warriors: The Download, Michael sits down with two of Ohio's standout attorneys, Alan Tittle and Jordan Lebovitz, for an unfiltered conversation about authenticity, personal branding, imposter syndrome, and the evolving role of AI in the legal profession.From suit-and-tie uniforms to backwards hats, the three break down how the way lawyers show up, visually, verbally, and emotionally, shapes client trust and courtroom credibility. They get honest about the imposter syndrome that still drives them, why "faking it till you make it" can be fuel rather than fraud, and how hard work always shines through, no matter what you're wearing.Then the conversation pivots to AI: how it's reshaping legal prep, where it falls short (hello, hallucinated case citations), and why no algorithm will ever replace a sharp cross-examination or a real human connection with a jury.Follow us across social media: https://www.instagram.com/linerlegal/https://www.tiktok.com/@backwardshatbarristerhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/liner-legal-llc/https://www.facebook.com/linerlegal/https://www.youtube.com/@LinerLegal/videoshttps://www.facebook.com/linerlegalExclusive Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/529948968647380If you're not sure if you qualify for benefits it will take you 1 min to find out!

Disability Warriors: The Download - One Arm, One Shot: Ashley Tindle's Race to Qualify for the U.S. Adaptive Open

On this new episode of Disability Warriors: The Download Michale talked to Ashley Tindle: a man with  one arm and a deadline. Michael sits down with the former All-State basketball player and 30-year tennis pro who just walked away from a stable career to chase one audacious goal: qualifying for the U.S. Adaptive Open and earning a top-five world ranking in adaptive golf. With only weeks until the qualifier in Dallas, Ashley opens up about what it really takes to compete at the highest level with a limb difference, from practicing basketball dribbling in a dark gym at 5 AM, to outsmarting defenders who tried to exploit his disability, to the moment he wrote "this is my last shot" in his journal and decided to go all in. This is a conversation about determination, productive delusion, and what happens when you stop accepting stuck as a permanent state.
