In this episode of The Legal Edge Coaching Podcast, Trevor White and Shane Smith dive deep into the personal and professional challenges lawyers face when they realize they’re burned out, stuck, or just plain unhappy. Whether you’re grinding away in a practice area you hate or running a firm that feels more like a trap than a dream, this episode gives you the real talk—and the real strategy—to break out.

Shane shares his story about building a personal injury law firm from the ground up, pivoting away from criminal defense, and buying land to create a multi-generational family estate. Trevor reflects on identity, status, and how so many lawyers chase goals they don’t even want—all because they think they “should.”

In this Legal Edge Coaching Podcast episode, Trevor White and Shane Smith dive deep into what it really takes to build a sustainable law firm—and life—that doesn't collapse when you step away. Trevor opens up about transforming his “dumpster fire” of a life into one that’s thriving, while Shane shares tactical lessons from years of hard-won growth. They explore the real definition of a vacation for business owners: one where your firm runs smoothly without you. You'll hear how Shane built his firm to give his wife four vacations a year, why taking time off without a plan is worse than not taking it at all, and how most attorneys end up trapped by success if they’re not careful.

They also break down the systems, delegation strategies, and mindset shifts that let you step away without fear—and come back stronger. Whether you’re a solo operator or managing a growing team, this episode shows you how to avoid building a prison disguised as a business and start constructing the version of success you actually want.
