For our April Fools prank in 2023, one of our team members came up with the ingenious idea of the ‘Unconscious Podcast,’ where you can absorb the knowledge of our team by listening to our podcast whilst asleep. Slightly ridiculous? Absolutely! But was it the push to create our real podcast? It was!
From general marketing advice through to guidance on specific skills and industry tips from our team and guest appearances from legal industry personalities, the Conscious Pod covers all you need to know for your law firm marketing and operations.
