Nobody puts “number of good friends” on a balance sheet, but maybe they should. Over a career and a lifetime, the relationships you build and protect turn out to matter most in life. I have seen people reach extraordinary professional heights only to look around and realize they did it largely alone and that the summit wasn’t nearly as satisfying as they imag...

A federal trial court judge in Phoenix denied a plaintiff's attempt to freeze an opponent's assets before trial. The Court’s reasonings offer a useful roadmap for what to do and what to avoid when attempting to lock down assets early in commercial litigation. An Arizona tech services company (Clutch) sued its vendor (Acronis) claiming Acronis kept charging them ...

On June 22, 2026, Governor Hobbs signed HB2995, the "Alec and Lydia Act," into law. Because the legislation carries an emergency clause, the changes took effect immediately. Arizona's family court domestic violence framework is now fundamentally different from what it was the day before. The bottom line for anyone with a family law matter involving domestic violen...

Letterman, visibly moved, asked him if facing death had given him any special wisdom to share. What Zevon said was simple.

AI is not the threat to your career. The threat is the attorney down the street, the consultant across town, or the professional sitting two floors below you who has already figured out how to make AI work for them. That person is not smarter than you. They may or may not have more experience. What they have is a willingness to adapt, and in competitive professions...

Nobody escapes the curriculum. Life keeps teaching, and it does not care whether you’re ready for the lesson. That is especially true in business, where the stakes are high, the pace is relentless, and the temptation to believe you have figured it out is both understandable and dangerous.

Nobody wakes up and decides to be mediocre. But most people in business, whether they’re fresh out of school or twenty years into their career, settle into a comfortable groove and stop pushing. They meet the minimum. They do what’s asked. They clock in and clock out. And that’s fine, until it isn’t — until someone else who does just a little bit more sta...

AI is extraordinary. As I wrote not long ago, professionals who refuse to integrate these tools are already falling behind. AI compresses hours of research into minutes, drafts documents that used to take half a day, and surfaces insights that would otherwise stay buried. For lawyers, business owners, and entrepreneurs alike, the efficiency gains are transformation...
