In this episode, we're going international (sort of) with a double feature from the Great White North.

First, Jared delivers a fiery monologue on DC Bar Ethics Opinion 391. He breaks down why the Bar is finally cracking down on lawyers making deals with the government that limit their practice. Jared connects the dots to "Trump's dirty deals" and explains why attorneys need to stand up for the rule of law against fascism.

Then, we are joined by Stuart Rudner, managing partner of Rudner Law, and Mark Robins, CEO of Lawyer Locate. They discuss:

• Why Canada is not the "51st State" when it comes to employment law.
• Mark's past life as a Private Investigator riding around doing surveillance at age 10.
• The origin story of Stuart's podcast, Fire Away (and why his daughter gets credit for his book title).
• Why lawyers need to stop obsessing over perfection and "just do it" when it comes to content.
• Mark's heated rant on why trying to measure exact ROI for legal social media is often a "scam".

Finally, stick around for the Counter Program: Match Game Canada Edition. Jared quizzes Stuart and Mark on famous Canadians—from Bret "The Hitman" Hart to William Shatner—and their favorite NHL teams.
