In this special episode of the People in Legal – Law and Beyond Podcast, host Chantal McNaught sits down with her friend and future lawyer Rhonda McGrath for an unfiltered conversation about life at the intersection of law, technology, and learning.

Together, Chantal and Rhonda unpack:
👉 Whether you’re a lawyer, law student, or just curious about the real human side of the legal profession, this episode offers honesty, laughs, and practical takeaways.
What happens when a commercial lawyer stops trying to "look like a lawyer" and starts building the future of the legal industry instead?
In this episode, we’re hanging out with Yule Guttenbeil—the award-winning principal of Attune Legal and a self-described "multi-entrepreneur." Yule isn't just practising law, he’s building communities, coworking spaces, and software platforms using something called "Vibe Coding."
In this episode, we’re diving into:
🤖 The "Vibe Coding" Revolution: How Yule is building custom software for the Lex Nova Guild without being a "coder" (and why you can do it too).
⛏️ Following the Frustration: Why your biggest daily annoyances are actually a roadmap for your next big system or tech tool.
🤵 Shedding the "Big Law" Skin: Why the suit and the facade might be holding your solo practice back from finding its true tribe.
💸 Decoupling Time from Value: Why Yule thinks billing by the hour is "grotesque" and how he’s flipped the script to focus on results instead of the clock.
🏋️ The Powerlifting Connection: A reminder that lawyers are whole people with lives, hobbies, and gym memberships outside of the office.
👉 Whether you’re a solo practitioner feeling the "lonely" part of the job, or a tech-curious lawyer wondering if AI can actually build your dream app, Yule’s insights will help you work smarter, think bigger, and finally clear that inbox.
Stick around for the bonus segment (this will be published later!): We’ve carved out a special deep-dive where Yule explains the exact platform he’s building and how "vibe coding" actually works in the real world.
