 Scott is a criminal defense and personal injury attorney from Annapolis, MD, where he was born and raised. He runs a thriving solo practice, is killing it with his social media game, and (my favorite part), he’s a fellow podcaster! In this episode, we cover everything from not being afraid of the “ask,” to finding your tribe and building your community, to building your social media presence through blogging and community volunteering.

• The real interview for any position usually happens before you even enter the interview room
• Find the key decision makers at any company/organization and find out how you can reach out to them

• How to find your tribe and why that’s important

• How Twitter is like cocktail hour and how you can mingle on this platform
• Blogging and contributing articles to other publications is the key to growing your following and authority
