@dvassallo @thecodaguy @GergelyOrosz @pbteja1998 @shl Yeah makes sense bc MoR is still different from Seller of Record. And will soon be targeted by anti money laundering laws. It’s too easy to use these platforms as money mules.

@NCKobis Could you share what the bribery game looked like? What were the mechanics? (I couldn't find it in the study)

[Jochen Vankerckhoven @thejochenv]

@jackbutcher It means to me that our opinions get less pointless every time we write on the internet.

[Jochen Vankerckhoven @thejochenv]

@jackbutcher Also back in the days,people didn’t realize the accelerated distribution of our externalized thinking.

Today, close to my place, we honor the printing presses. Will we honor the 🔁 too one day?

Love this nft @jackbutcher

Testing...

If I were to put together a set of the best VV slides as a plug-and-play product, is that something you might be interested in?

Every time I have a client call to discuss my coaching program for social media:

“I don’t have the budget” = it’s too expensive

“I want to try it on my own”

“I am not in a rush”

There is an underlying mindset problem in the legal industry that I want to call out

@AlexHamiltonRad I’d recommend the books by Benjamin Van Rooij about compliance

The only reason I quit my traditional legal career is to divorce my time from my income

@lawheroez If those are agreed contracts, yes

First month self-employment learned me that you get superconcious about your time

Time can make you:

More money
More valuable
More enjoyable

But you can only pick one each time

[Jochen Vankerckhoven @thejochenv]

Being experienced and being an expert are two different things.

A beginner at something “experienced” new things. While “expert” is just a claim.

People love listening to experienced people instead of experts.

If I would start over again as lawyer…

I would focus on problems

Instead of trying be the solution with legal knowledge about a specific area of the law

Being a problem expert is the fastest way to a personal monopoly (h/t @david_perell)

Problem > Solution

[Jochen Vankerckhoven @thejochenv]

Lawyers talk about themselves

I am expert in X

That’s totally fine btw, but misses the point.

You shouldn’t claim the solution (expertise), instead you should claim the problem.

Talking about a specific problem is talking about the customer.

Monopolize the problem

[Jochen Vankerckhoven @thejochenv]

Lawyers mistake complexity with value

Yes it can be that simple to solve a problem

Simple for you as lawyers still may mean a great value for the customer
