Using AI to Make a Solo Practice Scalable | Carolyn Elefant

What happens when one of the original voices in solo law practice meets the cutting edge of AI?

At 8AM’s Kaleidoscope event, Brian sat down with Carolyn Elefant - legendary founder of MyShingle, author of Solo by Choice, and environmental justice attorney fighting Big Energy with bold strategy and even bolder tech.

In this conversation, Carolyn shares how she:

• Turned a dot-com-era blog into a pipeline for high-value clients
• Uses AI to decode 200-page rulings in minutes (and train new lawyers fast)
• Created a playbook so effective, government agencies distributed it for her
• Is building an AI-first law firm offshoot with scalability in mind

This isn’t your average solo practice story. It’s a deep dive into how to work smarter, build authority, and design a law firm that actually fits your life — not the other way around.

Whether you’re solo-curious, tech-savvy, or just sick of the billable grind, this episode will make you rethink what’s possible.

Hit play and get inspired by Carolyn’s unapologetic, future-facing approach to law.
