Segment one:

Why did Mathew choose the profession of law? In college he was told, “You study logic, you do well on the LSAT and you can go to law school,” Sounded good enough to him :)
Fast forward to today and now Mathew is the founder of Subscription Attorney, LLC at https://subscriptionattorney.com/
Mathew has the same disdain for the billable hour as we do. Ron was sure to call this out during the first segment and Mathew was quick to give background on what brought him to this conclusion.

Segment two:

Mathew pivoted to the founder of Subscription Attorney, LLC while building a book of transactional business in the background. His story should sound familiar to many. It took grit and lots of networking.

What is the number one thing Mathew sees with his clients as a result of moving away from the billable hour and towards subscription? “THEY ARE NOT AFRAID TO CALL ME” — nailed it!
“How much money you make is not based on your time anymore.” —Mathew Kerbis when talking about moving away from the billable hour.
Making the cancel button PROMINENT and EASY to find means the customer/member is even more comfortable with your service.

Segment four:

General practitioners might get to the point one day where they can subscribe to specialists on behalf of their customers/members. Mathew calls this “subscription arbitrage” and it’s a brilliant term.
“This can’t be done” is something Mathew is not hearing much anymore. Instead, he is hearing “This is genius. Why didn’t I think of that?” more and more often…
Shift Supervisor at Starbucks is something you will see on Mathew’s LinkedIn profile. The story behind his experience there and how he was pulled it forward is great (check out segment four of the show today)
