In this solo episode of the Lead Counsel Podcast, host Tom Tona shares a behind-the-scenes look into his intensive preparation and participation in a legal mastermind retreat he headed off to in West Palm Beach. This closed-door mastermind, facilitated by seasoned business coach and EOS implementer Sarah Frasca, brings together top-tier law firm owners for deep strategic discussions that result in powerful revelations and tangible growth for TonaLaw.

Tom unpacks the mindset shifts, operational changes, and financial breakthroughs that emerge from his mastermind preparation—including how his firm is currently at a triple digit percentage increase in profit margin year over year. He explores the critical concepts of "positive turnover," right person right seat analysis, going AI native, scaling without proportional expense, and what it means to be a CEO in the trenches of law firm leadership.

Highlights Include:

• A 3X increase in profit margin and what drove it

• How full financial transparency can transform leadership and growth

• Real-world impact of EOS systems and mastermind accountability

• Lessons in scaling through systemization and strategic talent placement
