In this week's episode of The Law Firm Blueprint, hosts Jay Ruane and Seth Price tackle the biggest hurdle to scaling a law firm: delegation. They unpack the two main problems lawyers face: micromanagement due to reputation risk and the "it's faster if I just do it myself" mentality.

The hosts discuss the necessity of trusting your team and how not delegating makes the firm owner the bottleneck. They dive into the process of hiring a non-lawyer operator (or Integrator) and the financial and cultural risks of letting go. Finally, they agree that being an "unrepentant optimist" is the only way to succeed in this demanding business.
