Who is actually pushing you?

Most lawyers are letting “busy” decide where their firm is going. Not a plan. Not a vision. Just momentum.

Inside the Maximum Lawyer Association, you get something different:
- People who will call you out when you’re hiding behind “I’m slammed.”
- Candid conversations about AI, staffing, systems, and money, not theory, but what’s working in real firms right now.
- Accountability to build a business that serves your life, not a job that owns you.

If you don’t have people asking you the hard questions, you’re not really leading, you’re drifting. This is the value of the Association: you get in rooms where your excuses don’t survive, but your firm does.

Drop “PUSH” in the comments if you’re ready to be around law firm owners who won’t let you stay stuck.

REAIR: Unlimited PTO at Your Law Firm: Genius Policy or Culture Killer? with Kevin Cheney and Billie Tarascio

06/04/2026

He took 9 weeks of vacation last year and still had to tell his team to take MORE.
Kevin Cheney doesn't just allow vacation at his firm. He actively encourages it.
His minimum expectation for every employee? 2–3 weeks off per year.
Why? Because he's seen what happens without it:
"When you go long periods of time without breaks and without vacation, even the best employees start going down to 90, 80, 70% because they just get a little burned out."
It doesn't matter if it's a beach, a trip, or just a day on the couch doing absolutely nothing. Rest is part of the job.
100% efficiency in the office starts with actual recovery outside of it.

🎧 Full episode in the comments. Kevin and Billie Tarascio go head-to-head on unlimited PTO all episode long.
💬 Do you actively encourage your team to take time off or does your culture quietly reward the ones who don't?

We were told this world couldn't exist.

A law firm you own, instead of one that owns you.
A career that doesn't cost you your family and free time.
A future that isn't a guaranteed path to burnout.

We're here to prove them wrong.

At Maximum Lawyer, you don't just imagine that future. You build it. Surrounded by lawyers who dream bigger, push harder, and refuse to accept the way things have always been done.

This isn't about the firms of the past.
This is about building the firms of the future.

Together. In person. Online. Every single day, with people doing the work right alongside you.

The world they said couldn't exist?

We're building it anyway.

"I don't care where you work. I don't care when you work."
Billie Tarascio said something in this week's episode that reframes the whole unlimited PTO debate:
Lawyers? They can essentially have unlimited PTO. Their output is measurable, hours billed, revenue collected, client satisfaction. As long as your team knows what to expect, you're communicating, and your clients are taken care of go wherever you want, whenever you want.
But here's the problem:
"That can't be the policy because employers have to have rules that are the same for all employees. Unlimited PTO does not work depending on the job."
When you have intake staff, receptionists, and office-based team members who need to physically be somewhere, you can't hand everyone the same blank check.
It's not about trust. It's about job function.

"If someone abuses it — that's on me."
Kevin Cheney doesn't make new employees wait to earn their benefits. Health insurance? Day one. 401k? Day one. Unlimited PTO? Day one.
No waiting periods. No vesting schedules. No hoops to jump through.
And when people ask him, "Aren't you worried someone will just take the job to get a free vacation?" his answer is brutally honest:
"If that happens, I have a really bad interview system. That's an ownership mistake."
This clip is from one of our best episodes yet, Kevin and Billie Tarascio debating unlimited PTO from completely opposite sides. Neither one heard the other's answers.

Do you have at least one person on your team right now you’d call an “AI champion”? If not, what’s your plan?

You've had the idea for months. Maybe years. 💡
The only thing stopping you was the army of people you'd need to pull it off.
That excuse is gone.
Tyson Mutrux breaks down why RIGHT NOW is the moment for idea people and how AI lets you implement the damn thing just by typing a few words into a box and saying, "Go do it."
What's the first project on your list you're going to finally ship?

Imagine having 20 “team members” who never sleep, never take vacations, and quietly move your cases forward while you’re at your kid’s graduation. That’s where AI is taking law firms.

In the latest Maximum Lawyer Live, Tyson breaks down a clip from Marc Andreessen about “AI vampires” and shows how the same thing is about to happen in legal.

He shares:
How he and Kashef became AI vampires while building Foxy
Why AI is going to shrink some teams and give raises to AI‑power users
What it looks like when agents handle discovery, service, med records, intake, and more
If you own a firm and want to stay ahead of what’s coming, this episode is a must‑listen.
