In this episode of Power Up Your Practice, Ruby Powers sits down with Dominika Staniewicz (known as Brain Coach D), a TEDx speaker, certified brain health coach, and award-winning entrepreneur, to explore the intersection of neuroscience and leadership. With over 5,000 hours on global stages, Dominika specializes in helping leaders rewire their brains for peak performance and mental resilience.

They dive deep into how entrepreneurs and lawyers can navigate ADHD—or symptoms that look like it—and why optimizing your brain biology is the ultimate competitive advantage in a high-stress industry. Dominica challenges the traditional approach to mental focus, offering a blueprint for transitioning from a "scattered brain" to a focused, strategic leader.

Together, they explore:

✅ The Biology of Performance: Why you should audit your nutrition, sleep, and habits before jumping to any diagnosis, and how simple biology determines your firm's success.

✅ The ADHD Superpower: Why you might not want to "get rid" of all your symptoms. Dominica explains how to leverage unique brain traits to scale your business while hacking the parts that don't serve you.

✅ Rewiring for Results: How to use neuroplasticity to program your brain to notice opportunities and stay calm while others are in "doomsday" mode.

✅ "Human Being" vs. "Human Doing": A deep dive into the psychological necessity of detaching your personal identity from your firm’s daily chaos to prevent burnout.

✅ Your 2026 North Star: How to align your strategic business goals with your brain’s true capacity for long-term resilience and fulfillment.

If you are ready to stop operating in survival mode and start leading with biological precision to reclaim your time and focus, this conversation is your guide to mastering the engine behind your practice.

In this episode of Power Up Your Practice, Ruby Powers sits down with Jennifer Kaplan, President and CEO of Evolve PR and Marketing, to discuss the transformative power of Public Relations for law firms. As the leader of Arizona’s largest PR firm, Jennifer brings a wealth of knowledge on how to stop just buying attention and start earning authority.

Jennifer and Ruby explore the critical difference between static advertising and the dynamic nature of Earned Media. They dive into the "Perception is Reality" principle and explain why a media interview carries far more weight than a billboard. Whether you are a solo practitioner or a large firm owner, this conversation provides the blueprint for building a brand that clients already trust before they even walk through your door.

Together, they explore:

✅ Earned vs. Paid Media: Why Public Relations is the ultimate complement to your advertising budget and how it builds long-term credibility.

✅ Get Rich in Your Niche: The importance of staying in your lane to become the "go-to" expert that reporters (and clients) call first.

✅ The Trust Factor: Understanding the parasocial connection—how seeing you on the news creates an instant bond of trust with potential clients.

✅ Strategic Protection: Navigating "off the record" moments, protecting client anonymity, and managing your reputation during a crisis.

✅ PR on Any Budget: How small firms can leverage local news desks and award submissions to raise their visibility without a massive marketing spend.

If you’re ready to move beyond basic lead gen and build a brand that stands out in a crowded market, this masterclass on Public Relations is for you.

In this episode of Power Up Your Practice, Ruby Powers sits down with Jeff Goldman, founder of Goldman and Partners Immigration Law, a veteran with over 30 years of experience who has transformed how we understand legal specialization and business resilience.

Jeff shares his fascinating journey from his early days in real estate —where he felt like he "wasn't a lawyer, but a document signer"— to becoming the go-to authority for elite entrepreneurs from MIT, Harvard, and Y Combinator. He also reveals the hard-earned lesson that led him to create the "10% Safety Rule," a vital risk management strategy that every firm owner must implement to protect their practice.

This conversation is a masterclass in strategy for firm owners and an inspiration for students looking for purpose in their legal careers. Together, they explore:

✅ The 10% Safety Rule: The real story of how Jeff lost 42% of his revenue in just 10 minutes, and why you must never let a single client dominate your firm's income.

✅ Elite Niche Mastery: How to capture high-level markets and why being an "expert in a niche within a niche" is the key to eliminating competition.

✅ Innovation Beyond the JD: The birth of the BUILD Fellowship and how to create synergistic businesses that solve systemic legal problems (like the H1B lottery).

✅ The Retention Secret: How Jeff has kept his senior attorneys for over 15 years through autonomy and a culture of "over-compensation."

If you’re ready to stop being an administrative manager and start becoming a strategic leader in elite niches while bulletproofing your firm’s stability, this episode is for you.
