How Disney Villains Teach Us What Not to Do in Business Law

In this episode of Bippity Boppity Business, host Rita Richa sits down with Latrice Smith, attorney, entrepreneur, and founder of Thomas Law and Consulting, to do something a little unexpected: roast Disney's most iconic villains for their terrible business practices. 
And honestly? The lessons are priceless:

•  Latrice's journey from a family of healthcare entrepreneurs to founding her own legal + consulting firm [00:02:32]
• Cruella de Vil and the danger of high-pressure agreements — why you never have to sign what's put in front of you [00:07:45]
• When to seek legal counsel (hint: it's never too late) and what happens when you don't [00:11:14]
• Ursula's contract with Ariel — a masterclass in what's missing from most business agreements (consideration, defined terms, and whose voice exactly?) [00:22:11]
• Jafar and the Sultan: how to vet vendors and partners before they get too close to your throne [00:31:31]
• Genie's verbal agreement with Aladdin and what makes a contract enforceable [00:35:28]
• What "Day One" of building a business actually looks like — entity formation, service agreements, and knowing your exit strategy [00:38:07]
• Encouragement for entrepreneurs in the messy middle of the process [00:44:56]
