Episode Transcript:

Hi everyone. Welcome to another episode of the Earley Show sponsored by our friends over at Answering Legal. I am your host Chris Earley. I'm an injury lawyer in Boston. And as you know on this show, the Earley Show, we bring on the very best in the legal industry. And today we have a treat. I believe this is the first guest ever in Massachusetts.

So this is this is a big deal. Um it's also 6:30 in the morning. So, uh, my guest and I are truly getting after it, uh, while many people are probably sleeping. So, I don't know what that says about us, but but it's all good.

So, we have Benny Gold on the show today. Benny's a guy who I've gotten to know, gotten to see a lot in the past few years. He's definitely getting after. He's a very good connector of people and he's created a movement which is very worthy of respect and admiration. So, we're going to learn a lot from Benny today. So, I'm excited.

Benny, welcome to the show. How are you, man?

Chris, thank you so much. So much to say here with that you said 6:30 in the morning. You're true. This is truly the Earley Show.

We don't mess around, Benny.

So, and and you know, another thing is you I am in Massachusetts and and yeah, it is difficult to sort of… a lot of my guests are not from Mass. A lot of the people I feature are not from Mass or I didn't go to law school with. So, uses people, we got to stick together, man. So, so it's a pleasure to be on here and you know this is like I think of this as like uh one of those those podcasts where I'm a podcast host and like I feel like I should flip it around and interview you because honestly your story is incredible.

Like you were by the way on episode 133 of the Lawyer Stories podcast if anybody wants to look it up. Chris shares a story. It was incredible. I think it aired March 28th, 2023. So that was uh that was really cool where Chris and I connected. He shared a story, an incredible story.

And this is the last thing I say. But, uh, this book, Scaling the Wall, this is, uh, something that, you know, you guys should check out. Great book. I'm telling you, like, you know, Chris and I'm going to shout out our our mutual friend, a good friend of mine who's become a friend, Neil Goldstein, have incredible stories. They've written great books. Um, and uh, anyway, thanks for having me on, Chris. I really appreciate it.

It's my pleasure. Thank you for your kind words. I'm wearing my guy Neil Goldstein shirt, his podcast, That One Lawyer.

There it is. Awesome. Yeah. Yeah. You know, we gotta stick together.

He’s the man. Neil's the guy.

He is, he is.

So, I wanted to get you on because you're doing big things. You got this lawyer stories movement that you started from zero, from scratch. So before we get there, right, for anyone not familiar with your story, right, could you tell us a little bit about coming up, you know, influences growing up, parents, like how you kind of came up because I think that helps us understand a little bit about what got you here.

Yeah. No, I mean, nothing out of the ordinary. I'm from Portland, Maine. I went to school, born raised in Portland, Maine. Um, the thing about me is I lived like all around New England, right? So I'm a UMass Amherst graduate. I took a year off. I lived in Maine. I went to uh I went to Roger Williams in Rhode Island for law school and then I lived back in Maine and then I went to uh I I moved to Connecticut with a friend, a good friend of mine who uh had bought a house in Connecticut uh from law school. Uh shout out to John Wetmore if you're ever listening out there and uh he's a he's a good attorney there.

Um, and then I moved to downtown New Haven where I ended up getting most of my legal experience. I passed the Connecticut bar. I I worked uh at the public housing authority in in New Haven. So, I was just, you know, it was one of those things where, and this is all leading up to lawyer stories, like, man, like why is it so difficult for me? Like, why can't I get a job? Like, why don't I have a mentor who's who's just like taking me under their wing?

Like, yeah, maybe I need to see things two or three times to learn them and I'm not like, you know, your stereotypical law student, but I know once I get there, I'm going to be good. Like, I had faith in myself. I just needed some some time, right? And I just didn't have it. I didn't have it. And that's some people need it, some people don't, right?

I think some people mentors are very important. I think some people just don't need them. They could they're just they have enough faith in themselves where they could just they could just take off and and go. I think when I was younger, I kind of needed a little bit of a guidance. Uh, and I needed to kind of think about things in a different perspective. Um, and that perspective would have been, you know, if I could if I could ask myself questions like like what is it that I really like about, you know, the law, like where do I see myself practicing, you know, because I did always think I'd be a personal injury attorney. I love torts I like product liability in school. I love law school. I love that.

So anyway, so I end up in New Haven working at this public housing authority. I'm learning I'm I am learning from some people like landlord tenant law. I'm going to housing session. I'm evicting people. I'm getting them on stipulated agreements. Public housing residents. Very difficult job. Um but really I I'm thankful. I'm grateful for that experience. Moved on to another housing authority. I don't know the housing authority theme here. It's kind of weird, but moved on to another housing authority uh in a different part of Connecticut. And then I that was just for a year.

And then uh I saw this job listing for something back in Massachusetts. Now Massachusetts is appealing to me because like uh we have a family house in Maine. So I spend a lot of time up there in Maine. It's closer to Maine. I'm a UMass graduate. I just like the whole vibe of being back in Massachusetts. Uh I literally I work in Lemonster and when I found out the job was in Lemonster, I literally had to sit on the couch and look at where like Leminster was on the map.

Um I remembered it from like my driving to UMass from Maine like seeing oh Leominster you know but now it's now it turned into Leminster. So you know I finally meet a mentor there like a housing mentor not a lawyer but a fantastic guy still friends with him. He takes me in as the assistant director of a public housing authority um there.

And then a few years later he ends up going to a different housing authority and the board appointed me executive director. So here I am still at the housing authority doing um you know I I manage people you know I manage like 25 people. Uh we have a we manage five public housing authorities with our um you know our our kind of flagship our our main place is in Leminster and I'm I've been there 10 years and executive director maybe like six years or something.

So, um, so that that's sort of like a just in a nutshell like how I got there. And along the way, I'm just sort of like, wow. Like, I'm still not, you know, I practiced law for a little while, enough to, you know, I got my license enough to wave into Mass in Maine, so I'm licensed in three states. I'm like, but, you know, I'm still not, you know, I'm building lawyer stories and seeing all these people doing what they're doing, and I'm sort of like, you know, on the side of it, sort of peripheral.

Um, but that sort of I don't know if that sort of um sums it up for you, Chris. I mean, I have more inspiration for lawyer stories I can get into like whenever you're ready in terms of the why and all that sort of stuff.

Yeah. Yeah. No, this is awesome stuff, man. So, you get out of school, you're you're getting experience, you you fall into a space, you know, help uh in the housing authority. So, you've mentioned mentors a few times. Like, to me, I'll be honest, I waited too long to get a mentor to get coaching. Like I'll figure it out, but like hell no. I needed help. I just didn't know it. Talk about your… it sounds like you were thirsty and hungry for a mentor, right? Why?

Yeah. And and Chris, when you talk about you waited too long, like I I have that vision of that photo that you post sometime of you sitting in like a might have been like a study room or something where Yes. you know, you've got like a Nestle hat on or something and Yeah. You know, you you just you I don't know. Just it it kind of spoke to like the gener… I mean I don't know if we're the same age but it spoke to like the generation for me like that you're you're just kind of like you don't know where like this journey is going to take you and you're just kind of like there you know what I mean and and you feel like you're doing the right thing but you you just can't be sure yet.

Yes.

So yeah so for me like I think um I like you know I sort of mentioned like I feel like there's some kids who out of law school can just be like hey I'm a selfstarter. I don't give a s*** if I mess this up. like I'm going to go I'm going to I'm going to just take cases and like make some money. I don't care. There are other kids who sort of like or maybe just me I'll speak on behalf of myself who who might want to just like learn a trade like this is how you if a client I know like facts are all different to cases but like if a client comes in this is like what you do this is intake this is you know this is how to do like a pleading this is how to take like an interrogatory this is what a deposition is like let me take you to it you know three to five times so you know what the hell you're doing.

Like, I don't know I just kind of feel like I never met that person early on like at a smaller law firm that you know want that I that I had to um you know sort of follow but it's also I don't I I don't throw blame on anybody. I mean that's my responsibility. I could have said hey like I think I think advice that I would give somebody is you know when you're in law school and you're a little unsure like you don't know like where you're going to end up figure out what it is you love about the law and what drove you there find a person who is doing exactly what you want to be doing. make friends with them and like don't let go, you know, until you're able to do something the way that that they do it.

Um, I think, you know, that's those are all things like I didn't really think of. I was just sort of told get the degree and you'll be fine. Like that's that's and you know, it took me a while to be fine, you know, like so it's…

I'm 49. How old are you?

Uh, I will be actually I'll be 47 next week.

I just feel like when we came up, right, it wasn't like mentors. Yeah, it was a thing, but coaching wasn't a thing. And like I don't know, it was a different environment I feel like a little bit. You know, there wasn't as much help out there. We're a little bit on our own I felt like.

So I think law and and I'm not hating on my law school at all. But I think law schools can do a little more. I mean I think y I think like the whole mentality of like being a lawyer and going to law school is like they put you in an environment and they want you to swim, you know, like they give you all this reading, they want you to swim. They give you they they give you they give you like a writing assignment and they want you to figure it out. And that's fine because I think those skills kind of come with us to this day. Like if you're put in a situation, yeah, you figure it out. We're resourceful as as lawyers and as being legally educated.

But if you look at another profession like medicine, and I guess it's more it's you need to have what medicine does because you know, you're not going to go in there and like operate on somebody like you're writing the you know, like a it's a little different than like writing like a pleading, you know, like operating on somebody. But I still think, you know, we could have a little bit more. Uh, but again, I take full responsibility. I didn't really get involved in like things that were gonna like be a be uh extraordinary, you know, like I didn't get involved in like I I did what I had to do to graduate. Like I didn't do externships. I got involved in like maybe like a some sort of thing I needed to graduate with like immigration.

But and in fact I I've had recent maybe like a year ago uh the dean of my law school on the podcast and and I said to him and and this was because I didn't do trial advocacy you know and I should have why not and and I said to him I said you know what if you had a student who had graduated an alumnist like who graduated like come up to you and say hey can I survey this class can I come in and do trial ad now. You know I never did it because I was like a you know I was nervous about everything like can I can I do it now? Can I come back and do it? Like what would you say? I think I asked him that, you know.

Um so it really you have to you have to really advocate for yourself. You have to be ready for professional school. Um but mentor, yeah, I mean I think a mentor would have been would have helped me, but you know, I'm not disappointed with where I'm at.

No, same there was a reason we did what we did at the time. We did the best we could, right? and we found success and so we did, you know, things a lot of things well.

Ad break

So very interesting. You're an interesting guy because you got, you know, yeah, you you housing authority, but then Lawyer Stories. So I I started seeing your name. I think the pandemic I was home more. I was hitting LinkedIn more and I kept seeing your name. I'm like this dude has a big following. You have like thousands and thousands. This is when I kind of was a nobody on LinkedIn and I was like this dude has like thousands and thousands of followers. Like who is…

You're the man on LinkedIn. You want…

No, no, no, no. But but I'm but I this is like not too long ago and I saw you and then I and I saw I I noticed this podcast. Lawyer Stories podcast which I want to get into with you and then I reached out to you and I was on as you said I was on your show but I kind of wanted to hear like it's such a different thing you know being you know housing authority attorney than starting this this movement like what sparked that like why did that start for you?

Yeah. I mean, look, I Let's be honest, Lawyer Stories did not start as the LLC it is. I mean, Lawyer Stories started as a passion project. It's a very It was a very personal project for me.

It was sort of like, you know, I've been through all this crap. Like, I didn't even get a legal job. Like, I'm working finally at a housing authority. I have to move states, you know? Like, I have my family's over here. I have to move states. I like I'm single guy. I got to like hustle to figure it out, you know? Um, and I've lived all around New England.

I'm like, if I have a story like about this, like if if this is all part of my story, like other people must have stories like more impactful and crazier stories like you, Chris, um, you know, and Neil and those other ones and a lot of people out there that I've that I've uh encountered.

And also, I saw something I don't know if you're familiar with Humans of New York. So that came across…

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's awesome.

That came across my feed a couple times. I'm like this is pretty cool. Like I would love to hear lawyers speak like this in the first person sort of telling a story about um you know about their experiences with the law or like maybe like their favorite case or like maybe their favorite you know uh constitutional like amendment and like why how it works and like that sort of thing.

And so I just I started with five people I knew. I said, "Hey, this is what I'm going to do. I sent out an email with like a little sheet that said, "This is what I'm doing."

And I… you know, I went on Instagram and I I did had a nice photo of the person and I just started building. I mean, and at the beginning it was just all photos of people and and their story, you know. Now, it's more there's like obviously you got to change a little bit with the time. There's reels, there's some like promotions, there's podcasts, but… so I just started doing it and I kept going and I kept going.

And people kind of got like saw what I was doing and they're like… thought it was pretty interesting, wanted to be a part of it like and you know I use that when it's and they so they would send me an what was different between us and anybody else who was doing something. People were sending me the email with their photo, their story, their location. I wasn't taking things from other like other Instagram pages. Like Instagram can be known as like a copycat type of thing, right? So, I wasn't taking things from other web uh pages. I was literally getting them sent to me. They're still getting sent to me and I was posting them.

So, through that, Chris, I was able to build like and I I I don't know, for some reason, I felt an instant connection with people who were sending me their stories. You know, we've posted over 2500, maybe 3,000 now. And so, I felt connections with like or at least I did. I don't know if they did, but I loved being able to just like, you know, reach out back out to these people or if I heard of something in their area, it'd be like, "Hey."

And so that's how it sort of like it sort of transpired. Like it sort of uh grew that way, you know, and by the time like like a few years went by, I was like, I want to take this off the page. I had a little event in Miami in Brickell with somebody else who helped me out. And uh then I started the podcast in 2020. I'm like, I got to take this off the page. Like, and once I started being a podcast host, I was like, "Wow." Like, I finally found something after all these years that I freaking love doing, you know, and so it just kind of uh I don't want to say snowballed, but it kind of just kept going.

Um, and I still, you know, we still feature people to this day. Like we love getting people's stories and sharing stories. And now we're at the point where we can actually have events, you know, like we're having, you know, we have our Miami event in February. We're having we've had New York City in uh the spring. We did Boston in October. We're trying to get out west somehow at some point.

Really? That's awesome.

Yeah, I'd love to. But yeah, so that's basically like, you know, I just was you got to be consistent and you have to execute as as you know um with right.

I love that. I just want to share that, you know, Benny's had heavy hitters. You had Ben Crump on the podcast, Gloria Gloria Allred. You know, I reached out to Ben Crump. I can't. He's He's a tough get. And I actually reached out to him like, "How the hell did you get him, man?"

So they… Yeah. So Ben I'll never forget when I I looked at on my Instagram one day and I saw that he had liked like 10 of my posts in a row. And this was a while back and I was like, "Oh, that's so cool." Like I took a snapshot of it. I was Ben Crump, man. Ben Crump. Because he was huge cases, man.

So um you know, he I don't know how the connection came about, but we scheduled something. and he was in a hotel room. The internet connection wasn't great but he was super nice, complimentary, just so cool to interview. It was a few years back and I think when we connected he was still on the rise like he was there but he was still but I think he got a little more not because of me. I'm not that's not what I'm saying but he got more cases and he's he kept like growing like uh but yeah that was that was a great interview. Uh, I mean, it was a fun interview and he's actually messaged me maybe like a year or like eight months ago. We got to do it again and like then I can't get a hold of them. So, I don't I don't know. It's difficult to get to get a hold of some of these these people. Um, but he was he was really nice.

Um, now Gloria Allred came to me from uh I was a I liked Lisa Bloom, her daughter. I was a fan of hers and we had a Lisa and I had a really good episode and she um I reached out to her. I'm like, "Hey, do you know anybody else like sort of like famous that I could have on?" And she's like, "Oh, did I introduce you to my mother?" I'm like, "No." And so, she wrote a nice email. And then, actually, it's funny because I have it right here. I want to frame it. The email I got back from Gloria saying like something like her daughter recommended and and she was nice, too. She was great. Um, but yeah, I mean, it's difficult to get a hold of.

I mean, I still have people I'd love to get on that I just I don't know how to get in touch with them, you know. What's your method? Do you have a method for getting in touch with you?

Email, you know, but I I'll I'll keep asking like I'm kind of pesky. The only reason I got John Morgan… he was my first ever guest on my show on this podcast… was I kept asking he's like fine, fine. I actually just reached out to him this week like you want to come back again and so you just you have to ask for things.

Let me ask you a question. When you got…

Speaking of John Morgan, I have his son's episode coming up tomorrow.

Oh cool. Definitely. He was a fantastic guest. He dropped I could have talked 10 hours with you.

Oh yeah.

I'm curious when you started this was a passion project at first. Was there a time where you almost abandoned ship you weren't getting enough traction or did you see enough early on were you like no I got something. Did you ever doubt it when you started?

No because it was a passion project and I didn't do it for any other reason but like myself and to you know have this sort of like creative outlet from like my regular job and you know if I ended up with like two friends from it like that's fine. I still enjoy it. It wasn't really to try to make money. It really wasn't. But, you know, if I don't have media kits and podcast packages, I would never see my family. I mean, I get emails from legal marketers now and like it's like law firms all the time. And I have to I can't take everybody, man. Like, I'm not trying to sound like, hey, I'm so cool. But, I'm just saying like it's I would never see my family if I didn't if I took everybody on my show who has something that they're doing that's unique to like promote. You know what I mean?

Yeah.

Um but but no I never because I like I said it's a personal this is a very personal project and even if I you know had had come away from it with like you and Neil that would have meant a lot to me. You know what I mean?

Like so I never really thought about that. It was just always something that I'm like at the beginning I would be like oh wow look at this beautiful like gallery of diverse like lawyers. This is so nice. like all these little all these people and they shared their stories and I took a lot of pride in it, you know.

Of course.

And so I try not to really like I try not to to to go too far from that, you know. I mean, even though we have sponsors and stuff now like for the events that's been crazy. I mean, but uh I try not to go too far from like that.

Yeah, that's good.

Yeah. Which hard as it grows, there's more opportunities.

It's hard because like, you know, I people are always like, "Oh, are you doing this full-time? Are you doing this? You're doing this full-time." And then sometime they're surprised when I tell them I have like a full-time job, you know.

So, how did my guy Neil Goldstein get involved? How did you guys connect?

So, Neil DM'd me on uh Instagram, you know, and uh he liked what I was doing because he was all about sharing story.

Yeah.

And then um you know, we were we were just like in touch a little bit. He came on the podcast and then he told me he was taking a trip to Boston. I think he was going to see you too. He ended up getting dinner in like what the Worcester area. I live in the Worcester area. Um and so we got dinner in like Shrewsbury. And the minute I sat down with Neil, so my family I'm from Portland, Maine, but my parents are from New York. Like they're New York based. So meaning they moved up to Maine like 50 years ago cuz my dad got a prof being a professor. He got a job up there from New York, right? So, some of my family is like New Yorkers, right? They got like the accent. So, the minute I sat down with Neil, I was like, "Dude, you I feel like you're like a long lost cousin or I just felt that instant like like the whole like everything like just the mannerisms, the the accent." And I still feel that way. Like he feels like a like a cousin or like an uncle and I and it was great.

Like so we just and after that night like after that day of just like eating food and like he brought me a book, I gave him a hat or something. I don't know. After that day, you know, we took a nice photo. We just like been in touch like we text and hey, how you doing? Like what's going on? Like do you want to come to this event? Like let's hang out. It's like a special like relationship. He's a great guy.

I love…

And and also Chris, I know we have a time limit, but I do want to say, and I say this at the beginning of Neil's book because I wrote the whatever you call it at the beginning. If I had met Neil like 20 years ago, that would have been like the mentor I needed, you know, and that's sort of to round it up, you know, like that sort of that sort of like rounds up the convo in a way. I mean, because that I think I wrote that because he's just I I feel maybe he wouldn't have been a great mentor. I don't at the time. I don't know. But I feel like I I would have connected with them, you know.

You know, I'm a big fanboy, if you will, if that's term, you know, of of Neil. Picture in the back is me reading my book to my children. I talk about this every day. I wouldn't have a book if it wasn't for Neil. He inspired me to write my book..

Yeah, yeah.

My book, Benny, has changed my world, right? So like that one relationship because you're talking about how you got to know him like a longlost uncle. I'm from New York. I I'm from Jersey, New York. That's where I grew up. And so like he's that I relate to him. He's like, you know, a guy you connect to. And so I what you just said, I totally understand.

But like when you get good people together doing good work, not for dough, not for money, for passion, for purpose, the thing snowballs. So I encourage the listener, you know, don't I I was just telling law students a week ago at a bar association, do not chase money. It will run from you, it will hide. Chase your passion. Chase your purpose. You'll have a happier life. Yeah, you'll get rewarded financially. Opportunities will come, but like be true to who you are.

And so you haven't lost it if you if you grown this thing. And there's I'm sure there's shiny objects like opportunities that are coming your way now. It's like that's not true to this core purpose of sharing and so I encourage attorneys. You gota you got to subscribe listen to Lawyer Stories. You got to subscribe and listen to That One Lawyer podcast. These are two guys getting after good people.

So I in all frankness have to get my my kid to the to the to the train. Yeah. But I want to ask you we have a few minutes left. Like what's the future of Lawyer Stories? like what what do you have in store? What's your vision for for tomorrow?

Yeah, just just keep building. Keep doing what I'm doing. Share as many stories as possible. Be as visible as possible. Tell as many lawyers as possible about what we're doing. Encourage them to share their stories, especially with Lawyer Stories. Connect with me. I love it. It It keeps me keeps me going. Um more events, you know. I get so excited for events, Chris. Like, oh, I can't even tell you.

I went to your Boston event. I had a really good time, man. Great people. You did a nice job of putting it together. I connected with people I've never met. We met in person for the first time. And it's really You got to get out of the office. A lot of lawyers don't.
