In this episode of The Rainmaking Podcast, Scott Love talks with Tony Karls, co-founder of Sterling Lawyers and president of Rocket Clicks, about using a podcast as a practical business-development engine. Tony explains how his team built Revenue Roadmap, a single show with two recurring formats—growth stories on Tuesdays and how-to education on Thursdays—to balance entertainment with tangible value. The podcast is treated as a cornerstone content asset: every episode is repurposed across video, audio, blogs, and social channels to reach prospects where they prefer to consume. Tony stresses keeping the show unscripted and authentic, niching hard on a clear avatar (for him, family-law firm owners), and partnering with the right communities (e.g., AAML) to book high-quality guests and create “network effects” that turn conversations into relationships.

Tony shares what’s worked—and what hasn’t. With only ~68,000 family-law firms in the U.S. (most with ≤3 attorneys), chasing big vanity metrics is a distraction; serving a small, precise audience with specific problems wins. His playbook: start earlier than you think, accept that your first 40–50 episodes are reps, and move fast with “decision velocity”—ship, measure, iterate. Three takeaways for rainmakers who want to adopt the model: (1) define a narrow ICP and build episodes around their real pains; (2) deliver consistent, authentic conversations (video + audio) and atomize each episode across platforms; (3) calendar guest outreach like a pipeline (aim for 2–3 quality bookings a week), then let data—not ego—guide what you double down on next.
