Summary
Ali Awad, AKA the CEO Lawyer, is one of those perfect examples of what we preach regarding social media and providing VALUE before you ask for business! Across a slew of social media platforms, Ali has found incredible success by sharing free legal advice and letting karma do the rest!
Well... that might be simplifying things a bit, but that’s why we’re so excited to finally have him on the podcast! In this episode we get into greater detail regarding Ali’s journey, how he’s utilized social media to build his business (including Tik Tok), and under what circumstances it’s appropriate to walk away from one’s business.
