Written Podcast Transcription:
Jacob: Hello everybody, this is Jacob Sapochnick, the host of the Enchanting Lawyer Podcast. Welcome to our show.
Every week we try to gather creative, innovative people in the legal space and also entrepreneurs, who are not lawyers, to share their ideas with us and help us just do our job better.
Today, I have an interesting company and the founder of company called LawLytics. The company was actually started by an attorney and a software engineer and their promises to empower lawyers to have better websites, made better marketing choices, and get a better value from their marketing. They believe that every law firm should own and control their own websites, and the content, and they also build systems to allow them to do it easily.
I am excited to have the founder of the company Dan Jaffe join us here from Phoenix, Arizona. How are you, Dan?
Dan: I’m good Jacob, how are you doing?
Jacob: Actually, you’re in Tucson, not in Phoenix.
Most of our listeners are attorneys and other professionals, you are an attorney yourself. Why don’t you tell us a little bit about your journey from an attorney to somebody who is in a tech base. I’m personally curious to learn about your transition and what you do at LawLytics.
Dan: Sure, yeah and thank you for having me on.
I graduated from law school in ‘98 and started my first solo practice in Seattle in ‘99. At that time, the internet was just coming on board as a viable way of communicating. I was sitting there in my office doing work for other lawyers, just barely scraping by trying to survive, waiting for the phone to ring, and decided to teach myself how to build a website.
