About this episode

Chris Rodd discusses his journey of building a personal injury firm in a small town after leaving a century-old law firm.

What happens when a small-town lawyer decides to walk away from a century-old law firm and build something entirely his own? In this episode of The Founding Partner Podcast, Jonathan Hawkins sits down with Georgia trial lawyer Chris Rodd to discuss entrepreneurship, niching down in a rural market, growing a personal injury firm from the ground up, and why some of the best business lessons come from flying airplanes. From courtroom battles to community impact, Chris shares the mindset that helped transform a one-lawyer practice into a thriving regional firm.
