The Rainmaking Podcast

Robert Ingalls is a recovering attorney, speaker, and the founder of LawPods, one of the first podcast marketing agencies for law firms. After the challenges of practicing law threatened to derail his career and mental health, he traded in his suit and tie for a shot at entrepreneurship. Struggling to generate interest from law firms in the early days, Robert spent two years in a corporate banking gig. Grinding nights and weekends, he turned his spare bedroom podcasting hobby into a marketing agency servicing the biggest brands in law. He lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, with his delightful wife, darling daughters, and a proliferating collection of longboard skateboards. ---------------------------------------- This show is sponsored by Leopard Solutions Legal Intelligence Suite of products, Firmscape, and Leopard BI.
