  • Fractional General Counsel Explained: The Future of Legal Services w/ Michael Ciccolone
    Jan 21 2026

    "Every lawyer that I've proposed this to says I'm crazy. And they're like, why would you ever cut your bill off?"

    In this episode, Roger Jorns interviews Michael Ciccolone, a corporate tax attorney who is challenging the status quo of the legal industry.

    We discuss the critical importance of building long-term relationships with legal counsel rather than just treating them as a transactional service.

    Michael also gives his expert take on Artificial Intelligence in the legal field, warning about the dangers of relying too heavily on AI for contracts and why the industry may be heading toward a new apprenticeship era.

  • Why Most People Screw Up Email Marketing (And How to Fix It) w/ Ely Delaney
    Jan 15 2026

    "The money isn't in the list... the money is in your RELATIONSHIP with the list."

    Most people think email marketing is just spamming "buy now" buttons until someone clicks.

    In this episode of Reanimated Stories, Roger sits down with email strategist Ely Delaney to debunk the myth that "email is dead."

    Ely shares his proven system for nurturing leads that allowed him to close a deal 10 years after first meeting a prospect!

    We dive deep into why your "Call to Action" shouldn't always be "Buy My Stuff," how to start real conversations that lead to sales, and the exact strategy Ely uses to automate his follow-up so he can keep selling...even if he gets hit by a bus!

    We discuss the critical difference between "pitching" and "conversing," why you should stop doing Black Friday sales, and how a simple book recommendation saved a client's business six years after Ely wrote the email.

    This isn't just an interview; it's a masterclass in building trust. Learn why your emails should add value to someone's life regardless of whether they buy from you.

    If you're ready to stop shouting at your list and start building relationships that pay off for years, this episode is for you!
