Eric Gros-Dubois is the Principal and Co-Founder of EPGD Business Law, a Miami-based firm that counsels and supports entrepreneurs and businesses through every stage of the business lifecycle. With a team of over 60 professionals, Eric has built a firm rooted in mentorship, empowerment, and a deep commitment to developing the next generation of legal talent.
What happens when you invest in people early and trust them to punch above their weight? How do you balance the tension between management and leadership in a fast-growing business? What does it take to let go of micromanagement while still owning responsibility as a leader? How do you build a firm (or any organization)that outlasts you? And why is delegation, when practiced with trust and clarity, one of the most critical skills for leaders at every level?
Eric shares candid stories from his own journey…from leaving the security of traditional law firms, to taking the leap into entrepreneurship, to co-founding and scaling one of Miami’s most dynamic business law firms. Alongside Hakim, he explores the nuances of mentorship, growth mindset, and self-awareness, highlighting the powerful distinction between delegating tasks and delegating responsibility, and why leadership is never limited to a job title.
This conversation is packed with insights on building culture, empowering others, and leading yourself so you can lead others more effectively. Whether you’re a lawyer, a founder, or simply someone committed to your own growth, you’ll walk away inspired by Eric’s philosophy and practical wisdom.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
