Listen to the audio

On this episode of The Wellness Esquire Podcast, Ariella Cohen Coleman chats with Bradley Miller, a solo practitioner and M&A attorney who has built a practice focused on freedom and value over the billable hour.

They explored Bradley's journey from being a "reluctant solo" fresh out of law school to becoming an intentional "freedompreneur." Bradley shares how he transitioned from hourly billing to value-based flat fees, the importance of setting hard boundaries—like turning his phone off at 5 PM—and why decoupling your identity from your profession is the ultimate key to happiness in the legal field.
