$100 million says being human is having a comeback.

EY is rewarding staff for the skills AI was supposed to make less important: critical thinking, judgment, communication, leadership.

Makes sense.

When information is everywhere, knowing what matters becomes valuable.

When anyone can generate an answer, having the judgment to stand behind one becomes valuable.

When content is infinite, taste becomes valuable.

AI isn’t making humans obsolete.

It’s making the best parts of being human scarce.

And scarcity has a funny habit of increasing value. 🥃

AI slop for small businesses.

Hear me out.

I understand the backlash.

AI images with six fingers.

Soulless LinkedIn posts.

Every business suddenly sounding like the same enthusiastic robot.

And now I’m seeing people say:

“If a business uses AI-generated content, I won’t support them.”

I think we’re forgetting who is actually behind a lot of these businesses.

Most small business owners aren’t sitting on a marketing budget wondering whether to hire Annie Leibovitz or type something into ChatGPT.

They’re trying to make payroll.

They’re answering emails at 10pm.

They’re doing the bookkeeping, sales, customer service, marketing and whatever caught fire that morning.

The choice often isn’t:

Professional designer vs. AI.

It’s:

AI vs. nothing.

And when you’re treading water, a tool that gives you back two hours or saves you $500 isn’t destroying creativity.

It’s oxygen.

Now, does that mean we should flood the internet with beige AI garbage?

God no. 😂

AI slop is still slop.

But the problem isn’t that a machine touched it.

The problem is that nobody cared enough about the human on the other side.

That’s the distinction I think we’re missing.

Use AI to make the boring stuff disappear.

Use it to help the local restaurant tell its story.

Help the landscaper make a decent website.

Help the yoga teacher send a newsletter.

Help the two-person law firm compete with someone spending millions on marketing.

Help the founder get home before their kids are asleep.

Then spend the time and money you’ve saved on the thing AI cannot manufacture:

Giving a damn.

About your customer.

About your craft.

About your employees.

About your community.

I don’t think smart AI adoption makes small businesses less human.

I think it might give small business owners enough leverage to become more human.

So before we boycott the little business because we spotted an AI image…

Maybe ask what that tool made possible for the human behind it.

What looks like creative destruction from the outside might feel a lot like survival from behind the counter.

I’ve had to hire lawyers a few times in my life.

Reluctantly, every time.

Even the nice ones were intimidating. 😂

You don’t know what anything costs.

You don’t know if your question is a stupid one.

You don’t really understand the process.

You brace yourself before making the first call.

If you run a law firm, that feeling might be your growth problem.

Because growth is really two connected problems:

Getting discovered by the right people.

And what those people feel in the first five minutes after they find you.

Most firms obsess over the first one.

SEO. Google. Ads. LinkedIn. Referrals.

Then, after spending all that money getting someone’s attention, they send a nervous stranger to a wall that essentially says:

BOOK A CONSULTATION.

Bit of a leap. 😂

Get discovered without being approachable and people find you… then quietly leave.

Be wonderfully approachable without being discovered and nobody ever finds out.

But here’s what gives me hope.

The lawyers I’ve been speaking to want exactly what the rest of us want.

To help.

To be trusted.

To do work that matters.

So what if we let prospective clients experience some of that before asking them to book anything?

Let them ask a question.

Understand the basics.

Learn what happens next.

Know what to bring.

Get a little clarity.

Feel expected rather than processed.

By the time they speak to the lawyer, they’re not calling a stranger anymore.

They’re calling the human they’ve decided might be able to help them.

That’s the kind of AI I’m interested in building.

Not machines pretending to be lawyers.

Technology that makes getting to the right human less frightening.

We’re exploring this from the lawyer’s side through 100 Law Firms. 100 Conversations.

But today I’m curious about the other side of the desk:

If you’ve ever hired a lawyer, what almost stopped you from making that first call?

Strong opinions, horror stories and pleasant surprises all welcome. 🥃

AI can give you an answer.

It can’t take responsibility for it.

I saw a newspaper headline this morning:

“Only one type of lawyer will survive the AI wipeout.”

Cheery stuff. 😂

But buried underneath the apocalypse was something much more interesting.

The argument was that the people most protected from AI will be those who have something a machine doesn’t:

Responsibility for what happens next.

A client doesn’t hire a lawyer because they desperately need someone who can generate 14 paragraphs of text.

AI can already do that.

They hire a lawyer because eventually someone has to say:

I’ve looked at everything.

This is what I think.

This is what I recommend we do.

And then put their name behind it.

That’s judgment.

That’s accountability.

That’s trust.

Perhaps the lawyers who thrive in the AI era won’t be the ones who can produce the most work.

They’ll be the ones whose judgment becomes more valuable as producing the work becomes easier.

So let AI research.

Let it summarize.

Let it remember.

Let it organize.

Let it deal with the digital paperwork purgatory.

Then give the human more time for the thing we’re actually paying them for:

Making the difficult call.

AI doesn’t diminish the great lawyer.

Used properly, it might finally reveal what the great lawyer was valuable for all along.

We’re speaking with 100 small and mid-sized law firms about what AI should give back to the legal profession—not just what everyone is terrified it might take away.

No pitch. No demo. No AI sermon.

If you think we’re completely wrong, we’d probably rather talk to you.

I’d add the CTA to the LinkedIn copy rather than cluttering the image. Let the provocative visual earn the stop; the caption earns the click.

Big Law has a problem you don’t have.

They’re enormous.

Thousands of lawyers. Hundreds of offices. Layers of systems, departments and process.

So they’re spending millions on AI trying to make all of that complexity feel intelligent.

Don’t copy them.

You have something much more interesting.

A client can still call your firm and speak to someone who remembers them.

Your partner might know their children.

Remember the business they sold ten years ago.

Know why the divorce really matters.

Know that the estate plan isn’t actually about tax.

It’s about two brothers who haven’t spoken in five years.

That’s not inefficiency.

That’s your competitive advantage.

And here’s the opportunity I find exciting:

AI might finally allow a 10-lawyer firm to have the institutional capability of a 1,000-lawyer firm…

without becoming one.

Let the machine remember the details.

Let it chase the paperwork.

Let it dig through the inbox.

Let it update the bloody CRM.

Let it notice when someone needs following up with.

Then get it out of the way.

Because the future doesn’t need smaller firms pretending to be Big Law.

It needs brilliant lawyers with more time to sit across the table from another human being and actually give a damn.

Big Law can outspend you.

They can’t out-human you.

The interesting question is how you use AI to protect that advantage.

That’s what we’re trying to understand through 100 Law Firms. 100 Conversations.

And if you disagree with us, even better.

We particularly want to talk to you. 🥃

Your best lawyer knows things your CRM doesn’t.

Quite a lot, actually.

Your CRM knows:

John Smith.
Estate planning.
Last contacted July 14.
Potential value: $12,000.

Your lawyer knows:

John’s daughter is taking over the family business.

His wife is worried about what happens when he retires.

He doesn’t really care about optimizing every last tax dollar.

He cares about keeping his family together.

One has data.

The other has a relationship.

And therein lies a rather interesting AI problem.

Law firms produce extraordinary amounts of human intelligence every day.

Conversations.
Context.
Judgment.
Promises.
Tiny details that matter enormously.

Most of it ends up scattered between inboxes, CRMs, meeting notes and somebody saying:

“I definitely remember talking about this…”

Six months later, cue the inbox archaeology. 😂

Perhaps the opportunity isn’t another database.

Perhaps it’s giving the institution itself a memory.

So the next lawyer who speaks to John doesn’t just know when he was contacted.

They understand what matters to him.

That’s the kind of AI we’re interested in.

Not replacing relationships.

Remembering them.

08/11/2026

Your clients don’t want to trust AI.

They want to trust a human.

Someone with judgment.

Someone accountable.

Someone who understands what they’re going through.

Someone they believe can help.

So perhaps law firms are asking the wrong question.

Not:

“How can AI advise our clients?”

But:

“How can AI help a prospective client trust us enough to take the next step?”

Imagine someone arrives at your website with a problem.

Instead of:

Book a consultation.

They can actually begin.

Ask a question.

Understand the basics.

Explore their options.

Learn what information they should gather.

Understand what typically happens next.

Perhaps receive some useful, clearly bounded general information before they’ve spent a dollar.

Remove some of the gatekeeping.

Not by replacing the lawyer.

By letting technology create a better path to the lawyer.

By the time that person schedules a conversation, they aren’t meeting a stranger behind a form.

They’ve already experienced your firm’s generosity.

Your expertise.

Your way of thinking.

Your willingness to help.

AI provided access.

The human earned the trust.

That’s the kind of AI I’m interested in building for law firms.

Not technology that puts another machine between lawyers and clients.

Technology that brings them closer together.
