Inksecure: A Legal Podcast Focused on Creating Wealth From the Fine Print
Legal-EASE for Entrepreneurs is the only podcast dedicated to educating and empowering creatives and small business owners to tackle the legal aspects of their business. Starting a new business can be a daunting task. The last thing most entrepreneurs want to worry about is the legal aspects of their business. And that's why I'm here - to ease the legal struggles you face in your business. I spent 6 years in BigLaw and working for a Fortune 500 company, learning the ins and outs of drafting contracts, tax planning and intellectual property law. My goal is to share my knowledge with everyday entrepreneurs, because I know what it's like to build a business from the ground up. We'll cover all legal aspects of running your business, from legalizing your website, what entity to choose, which contracts you need for your business, how to protect your intellectual property, how to protect yourself from lawsuits and common legal mishaps!
