Ben Hockema joined the Legal Helm podcast to talk about how law firm owners can take control of their numbers, build real profitability, and create businesses that support their lives—not run them. A candid, practical conversation about money, mindset, and building with intention.

Too many business owners get paid last—often at the expense of their wellbeing and their firm’s future. Ben Hockema shares how the Profit First model helps lawyers prioritize profit, reduce stress, and build healthier, more sustainable practices.
