That insight became the foundation for USLege.Her husband and co-founder Eric joins to talk about the startup side: his years in Silicon Valley, what he learned from startup wins and failures and how they’ve scaled USLege from an early Texas product to a national platform covering all 50 states.We cover:how policy is really made behind the sceneswhy legislative tracking has been so inefficienthow AI can make government dramatically more understandablewhy USLege may fundamentally change lobbyinghow founders validate product-market fitwhat it takes to build a real software company in a hard, data-heavy marketIf you’re a founder, operator, lobbyist, attorney, government affairs professional, or just interested in where AI is heading next, this episode is packed with insight.Connect with Laura on LinkedIn HERE and learn more about USLege at https://www.uslege.ai/Connect with Eric on LinkedIn HERE 🎙️ABOUT THE HOST: Joseph J.

Instead of building real systems for communication, trust, accountability, and self-awareness, they rely on one-off seminars, conferences, and motivational sessions that feel good in the moment — but do not change behavior.We talk about:why so many people get promoted into leadership with no real trainingthe psychology of bad leadershipwhy employees leave bosses, not just companieshow poor leadership drives disengagement and turnoverwhy self-awareness is one of the most important leadership skillswhat Brett means by a “leadership operating system”how companies can create healthier, higher-performing teams over timeIf you’re a founder, CEO, manager, operator, or anyone trying to build a stronger organization, this episode is packed with practical insight.Connect with Brett on LinkedIn HERE or his company Leadwell at https://www.letsleadwell.com/🎙️ABOUT THE HOST: Joseph J.
