Summary

If you struggle with the legal side of your business and terms like "trademarks, copyrights, intellectual property, DBA, LLC, contracts" freak you out, then keep listening!

Today we're talking to the incredible Rachel Brenke.

Rachel is a lawyer, MBA & Business Consultant, and entrepreneur. She helps entrepreneurs succeed in their business by being efficient, strategic, and legally protecting themselves. 

This conversation is a GOLD MINE of information. It has taken us YEARS and THOUSANDS of dollars (and lots of mistakes) to learn what she drops in today's show. We polled our podcast Facebook group (aka YOU!) to see what questions you wanted Rachel to answer and she dove DEEP on each one.

We dive into why and how contracts are set up, if you should have different contracts for different projects, and if contracts are state specific. Rachel also talks about intellectual property, copyrights, and trademarks. We even tackle questions about business formation, changing your business name, DBA's, LLCs, and all that jazz.

If you're an entrepreneur (and not a lawyer) this episode is SOLID GOLD information. Rachel's such a joy and we're so excited for you to learn from her today.
