Frequently Asked Questions
What is More Than Legal actually about?
It’s a business podcast hosted by Danielle Laughlin—CEO, founding attorney, and business law expert—where we talk about more than just contracts and compliance. Expect candid convos with entrepreneurs, business leaders and creatives, about the messy, strategic, and sometimes hilarious realities of building a business.
Is this a legal podcast?
Not really. It’s hosted by a business lawyer (so yes, legal insights sneak in), but this isn’t a legal seminar. We talk about leadership, marketing, risk, partnerships, scaling, and real-world lessons—with just enough legal seasoning to keep it smart.
Who should listen?
If you’ve ever started, grown, or managed a business—or plan to—you’ll find something here. Our audience includes founders, HR pros, creatives, COOs, GCs, and service-based business owners who like their business advice sharp, honest, and entertaining.
How often do new episodes come out?
New episodes drop every other Tuesday. We release full interviews plus short solo episodes from Danielle called Legal Declassified—think of them as espresso shots of insight on trending business and legal topics.
