Have you ever wondered why so many women entrepreneurs hit a glass ceiling when it comes to growing their businesses? Discover how a solid legal strategy can be the missing link to unlocking sustainable growth and profitability. Join me, Lauren J. Buckner, Esq. as I share insights from my 19-year journey as a lawyer turned business builder, and explore the crucial intersection of legal frameworks and business strategy for women looking to elevate their businesses. Throughout this episode, we'll unpack the necessity of integrating legal considerations with your business planning. Passion alone isn't enough. It requires a clear vision supported by well-crafted business and strategic plans. I will share stories, like that of a nonprofit that crumbled due to inadequate planning, to underscore the importance of a strong structural foundation. By learning from these examples, you can avoid common pitfalls and set your business up for long-
term growth and success. Ready to take actionable steps towards protecting your
business?

Let's explore practical ways to boost your confidence as a business owner,
sidestep common entrepreneurial challenges, and increase your income.

Before you can grow your business, you have to secure it. In this premiere episode of Learn and Grow with a Lawyer, business attorney and strategist Lauren J. Buckner, Esq. breaks down why every business needs a strong legal foundation — and what happens when you skip this step.

Lauren shares her personal story of building from humble beginnings to advising women entrepreneurs nationwide, and she reveals how your legal documents, business structure, and contracts work together to protect your profit and your peace. You’ll learn how to conduct a “virtual audit” of your business, identify gaps in your setup, and implement the legal tools that help you grow with confidence. Whether you’re a solopreneur or preparing to bring on partners, this episode will help you build the structure your business needs to last.

Before the season officially begins, Lauren J. Buckner, Esq. pauses to explain something listeners will hear throughout the episodes.

When this season was recorded, the podcast was originally called Learn From a Lawyer. During the process, it became clear that the name was too close to an existing trademark and needed to change. Rather than re-record an entire season or ignore the issue, Lauren does what she teaches business owners to do every day — pause, correct it, and move forward smarter.

In this bonus episode, she shares:

• Why the podcast name changed
• What this experience reveals about trademarks and brand protection
• How moving too fast can cause business owners to miss critical legal steps
• Why learning better means you’re responsible for doing better
The podcast is now called Learn & Grow with a Lawyer because this show isn’t just about legal information — it’s about growth, protection, and building businesses that last.
