Welcome loves!

I am SO excited you are here and can’t wait for us to dive into this episode!

This week my very own business lawyer, Grant Atkinson, founder of Framework Legal Group is here walking us through all the legal how’s and why’s for your business.

For most of us, looking at legal contracts and structures is kinda like taxes or the dentist. We know we need to do it…but it can be scary or painful also. Over the years in business, consulting, and just personally I have had the chance to work with so many different lawyers. I can honestly say, Grant takes away all the legal confusion and scary.

He’s this non-lawyerly lawyer providing legal for creatives, healers, small businesses, and renegades. Meaning, he gets where you're at and what you need without all the frills.

In this episode Grant shares with us several key components to keep in mind when starting your new business, or growing your existing one. We also dive into intellectual property and breakdown your rights with piracy. Which has unfortunately been on the rise with theft of instagram or Facebook accounts…where so many of us live with our social businesses.

If you have a business, are thinking about starting one, or ready to grow new areas in your business…this one’s for you!

Let’s Dive In:
