Tennessee lost a true angel this week.
Growing up here, she was part of the fabric of life.

After I had children and we received the benefit of her Imagination Library program (which sends a free book to every child who signs up from age zero to five - every single month), she became even more ingrained in their childhood memories.

They squealed each month when their "Dolly books" arrived in the mail.

We enjoyed so many fun trips to Dollywood and saw the incredible economic impact it has had on her childhood home.

Most people with the talent, ambition, and financial resources Dolly had are not be so generous. It is her huge heart and community impact that will be her lasting legacy.

Rest in peace, Dolly.

POP QUIZ! What do you do if you find yourself in this situation: your client on a payment plan stops paying, their card gets declined, and they disappear.

If they checked the box agreeing to your terms, that agreement is enforceable, just like a signature.

From there, you're in a negotiation.

You can offer something that keeps them engaged, or use leverage like collection costs, a collections agency, or small claims court. Just know the tradeoffs going in: agencies take a cut, and even a court win doesn't collect the money for you.

Sometimes the most realistic answer is that there's nothing left to chase. And that's okay too, as long as your contract gives you the option to walk away.

Someone looked at our custom contract pricing recently and said "that seems like a lot."

Fair enough. Let me explain what you're actually paying for.

A contract template can get you words on a page. What it can't do is know your business. It doesn't know how you get paid, what happens when a client ghosts you, or what you'd need if things went sideways.

That's where the work actually happens. We start with your offer, your clients, and the specific ways your business could go sideways. Then we build a contract around that, not a generic one that happens to have your logo on it.

We've been in this industry since 2015. We've seen the situations you haven't thought of yet, and we build for them before you ever need to.

You're not paying for a document. You're paying for that experience, applied to your business.

We get asked about trademark fees all the time, so here's the actual breakdown. Step one for any trademark project is a thorough search: we send you a written report, then walk through the results together on a call to help you decide if it makes sense to move forward. Step two, if you do move forward, is filing the application and gathering the supporting evidence. All in, legal fees for both steps typically run about $3,000 (it can go higher in some circumstances). On top of that, there are separate USPTO filing fees, paid directly to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Those vary by application, and we simply pass that government cost through to you at what they actually charge, with no markup on our end.

Someone in one of my masterminds found her friend's face in a paid ad this week. Not a screenshot. An actual campaign. She never said yes.

There's a real legal concept behind this called Right of Publicity. It can protect your name, face, voice, and likeness from being used commercially without your ok. It can stretch further than people expect too. Think your signature, a distinctive voice or catchphrase, even a look-alike used in a way that implies it's actually you. The common thread is commercial use: selling something, implying an endorsement, borrowing your identity to make money off it.

Whether that protection actually applies comes down to a few things: what state you're in, whether the use is commercial, and whether consent exists anywhere in the chain - including old contracts or platform terms you may have agreed to. However, a platform allowing something isn't the same as an advertiser having the right to use it.

So... is it legal for someone else to use your face in their content? Unfortunately, there's not a clean yes or no here. It's fact specific, which is exactly why this kind of thing needs a legal pro to look at the situation and help you determine what your next legal step is.

⭐ Save this so you know what to look for if this ever comes up for you.

Kinda chic to build something you're actually proud of. 🥂

This is the version of success most of us are striving for. The vacation where nothing falls apart. The room full of people playing bigger and pulling you with them. The legal foundation that lets you scale without holding your breath.

That's what we're building over here.

Are you in? 👇

The documentary is going to be so good. 🎬

Part one: the IP dispute that almost derailed a seven figure launch.
Part two: the contractor agreement that saved everything.
Part three: the conversation we had before they signed anything.

This is what actually happens behind the scenes at that level. Not just big moves and big numbers. Quiet, strategic legal decisions that most people never see and never hear about.

The ones who scale without blowing everything up? They all have the same thing in common.

What would your chapter one be? 👇

Noticing companies that promise a 100% happiness guarantee on their sales page but say 'no refunds' in the fine print? That's not a small inconsistency, it's a legal conflict.

This is usually less about someone trying to pull a fast one, and more about their terms not catching up with their marketing as it evolved. If your sales page and your contract were written at different times, it's an easy gap to end up with. Whatever refund policy you actually choose, your marketing needs to say the exact same thing.

A satisfaction guarantee is treated by the FTC as an actual promise, which means no hoops, no partial refunds, no subtracting fees. For lower-cost offers, honoring a refund request can actually take less effort than fighting it. Once someone's had access to a download, there's no real way to take it back anyway, so arguing over it usually costs more than it's worth.

That's also a valid approach, a formal no refund policy paired with a practical, case by case choice about when to bend.

Whatever policy fits your business, just make sure it's the same one everywhere someone might see it.

You asked for behind the scenes.

This is behind the scenes. 🍒

Cherries. A desk that tells a story. Seventeen browser tabs. One contract that needs to be done by end of day.

This is the glamorous reality of running a remote law firm and I will not be taking questions.
What does your behind the scenes actually look like? 👇
