Using AI to Live the Life We Want: The Blueprint for a Truly Great Life feat. Colin Levy

Description

"Life is short... and you don't know exactly how much time you have". Welcome to another episode of The Lei’d Back Life podcast with host Jordan Ostroff. Joining us today is phenomenal guest Colin Levy, General Counsel at Malbeck, adjunct professor at Albany Law School, and author of The Legal Tech Ecosystem, Contract Life Cycle Management for Dummies, and the Handbook of Legal Tech. Colin specializes in helping legal professionals cut through the technology hype to adopt tools with clarity and confidence. In this conversation, we discuss using AI not just for productivity, but for intentionality. In a world where we spend too much time worrying about the "how, what, and where," Colin explains how AI can take over the noise, leaving you free to focus on the signals... the things that actually make you happy. From analyzing meeting transcripts for better client communication to breaking down a 300-item bucket list into actionable steps, this episode is about making the tool work for the person.

From Survival Mode to Ownership

The LEI’D Back Life is becoming From Esq. to Owner. In this episode, Jordan Ostroff explains why the podcast is being renamed and refocused for solo and small firm attorneys who want to stop being buried in the day-to-day and start truly owning their law firm. Jordan shares why law firm owners often get stuck in survival mode, making short-term decisions around cash flow, cases, payroll, and client demands instead of building the firm they actually want. He also talks about the foundation owners need before they can think long-term, including referral relationships, early support, better systems, and a clearer vision for their future. This episode introduces the bigger mission behind From Esq. to Owner: helping lawyers move from practicing law all day to leading a business that supports their clients, their team, and their life. If you’re a law firm owner who feels overworked, under-supported, or unsure how to step out of the daily grind, this episode will help you start thinking about what ownership could look like over the next decade. --------------- If Jordan’s conversation about My Great Life Legacy got you thinking about your own future, we’d love to help.
