    In this episode, host Sam Donaghey and Fast Slow Motion CEO John Burdett sit down with Todd Richheimer, CEO and co-founder of Lawfty, to unpack what it looks like to build a technology-driven company inside one of the most traditional industries in the world.

    Todd shares how he spotted major inefficiencies in legal services, built a data-driven engine to track case value over years, and made calculated decisions instead of guessing. They also dig into the build vs. buy dilemma and what pushed Lawfty to move a core intake function onto Salesforce, plus what it takes to lead your team through a change that feels personal.

    If you’re wrestling with build vs. buy, carrying tech debt, or preparing your systems for the next stage of growth, this conversation will help you think more clearly and act more intentionally.

    In this episode, host Sam Donaghey and FSM Director of Growth Michael Johnson look back at the most impactful moments from Season 2 of The Fast Slow Motion Podcast. You’ll hear insights from purpose experts, operators, founders, brand builders, leadership thinkers, and FSM leadership — all centered on how to build a business that lasts without losing yourself in the process.

    Sam and Michael revisit the ideas that resonated most with listeners this year, including turning purpose into a repeatable discipline, why attention is a leader’s most powerful tool, what separates a cool product from a legendary brand, how honest forecasting builds trust, why sales is simply another form of service, how behavioral insights transform leadership, and the Working Genius framework that helps teams thrive. They also reflect on John Burdett’s powerful reminders about failure, values, preparation, and building a business that can stand when life gets hard.

    If you want to strengthen your leadership, design systems that scale, and build a business that supports a real life, this episode is for you.
