What if the key to multiplying your business valuation wasn’t just hustle but a trademark? In this episode of The Journey, attorney Mark G. Aster sits down with brand protection strategist and IP litigator L.A. Perkins to explore the legal strategies that transformed one client’s business and helped her sell for 900% more than the original offer. From cease and desist letters to courtroom wins, L.A. reveals the unseen power of intellectual property in building generational wealth.

But this conversation goes deeper than business. L.A. opens up about her path from teenage entrepreneur to nationally recognized super lawyer, and how a personal story involving addiction, mental health, and the Marchman Act changed the way she approaches advocacy. Whether you're a founder, legal professional, or just someone who believes in the American Dream, this episode will reframe how you think about ownership, protection, and legacy.
