In today’s episode, Jim and Tyson chat with criminal defense attorney, Dustyn Coontz! They dive into being brutally honest about being who you are. If you’re interested in learning more about running a law firm with ADHD, learning to focus only on specific things at a time, and working through the pandemic, check out this week’s episode.

Dustyn is husband to Stephanie, dad to Lily (a human) and Archie (a dog), and an eternally optimistic fan of the Detroit Lions. He also owns Coontz Law, a firm dedicated to protecting ordinary Michiganders against the Government.

Currently, he spends his spare time humbling himself by taking taekwondo classes with Lily and learning to play ice hockey. Dustyn is on a lifelong quest to maximize the gifts of his ADHD.

Jim’s Hack: Running a law firm is often like operating on a two-track system. It’s easy to focus on fixing the problem and go on to the next thing. Instead, take what you’re doing this one time and make it, so it doesn't happen again or have a written out policy/procedure on how to fix that one thing. Doing this in the moment will better benefit you rather than trying to fix everything all at once.

Dustyn’s Tip: Check out the Sparketype personality test. It helps you better understand how you work.
