  • Are you getting paid what you're really worth?

    Are you getting paid what you're really worth?
    2026/09/09
    Vanessa Ugatti is the True Worth Expert, a UK-based international keynote speaker, transformational trainer and coach, and author of How to Get Paid Your True Worth Ethically, Without Selling Your Soul. Through her unique True Worth™ Methodology, Vanessa helps forward-thinking law firms and sole practitioners get paid their true worth ethically, without over-servicing, discounting or losing clients. “Lawyers are quite fearful people, certainly in the UK, and I’m imagining it’s probably not that much different in the States,” Ugatti tells Modern Law Library host Lee Rawles. "They're driven by fear. Fear of losing the client, fear of getting in trouble with their board. Just fear. And so they'll tend to focus on doing the legal work at the expense of the business–that comes second–and the expense of themselves." In her new book, How to Get Paid Your True Worth Ethically: Without Selling Your Soul (and Keeping Your Clients Happy!), Ugatti shares her methodology, based on the acronym TRUE WORTH. "Getting paid your true worth is not just about making enough revenue to have a sustainable life and business," says Ugatti. "It's also to make sure that you are well, you can supply the right work to your clients, and you can give them the level of service that they need." In this episode of the Modern Law Library, Ugatti outlines what each letter of TRUE WORTH stands for, and discusses her own journey towards having the confidence to value herself properly.

  • We need to rein in Silicon Valley unicorns, says law prof

    We need to rein in Silicon Valley unicorns, says law prof
    2026/08/05
    In Silicon Valley, a "unicorn" is a private startup with a net worth of $1 billion. As the term suggests, these were once incredibly rare creatures. Most startups would go public within 4-7 years, long before they had a $1 billion valuation. But two key pieces of legislation made the rare into the rampaging, starting in 1996. In her new book, Untamed Unicorns: Why Startup Finance is Broken and How to Fix It, Renée M. Jones warns that by staying private and shielded from oversight and disclosure, these startups could be endangering the stability of our financial system. Jones, who served as the director of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Division of Corporation Finance under President Joe Biden, shows how these tactics were used (and misused) by startups like FTX, WeWork, Uber and Theranos. "One of the big concerns is that startups are taking advantage of the secrecy to engage in, we could call it 'antisocial' or 'unsocial' behavior, but there are not really any mechanisms for the public to really see what's going on," Jones tells Modern Law Library host Lee Rawles. "If Theranos's investors and directors understood that they were going to have to go public and prove that the product worked, they would've been more demanding on Elizabeth Holmes most likely, and they wouldn't have been able to get away with all of those lies." A big concern Jones has is with the recent push by private equity companies to allow regular retail investors and 401K plan managers to invest in these opaque and risky private startup companies. "That includes private equity, it includes infrastructure. It could even include crypto. Again, these are illiquid assets," says Jones. "There's no ready market for those shares. And they're high risk assets and there's not a lot of information to even know, 'What am I actually invested in?' " "If the Department of Labor's plans are adopted, you're going to have to really work hard to avoid having any private equity in your 401k plans," Jones warns. "There's a risk that these overvalued assets are going to be transferred from professional investors who can act to protect their interest to sort of your average, unsophisticated 401k saver." In this episode, Jones shares her advice for reforming the oversight of these companies, warning signs that financial novices should be on the look for, and introduces a new creature to the financial bestiary: the centicorn.

  • Summer Reading and Still Perplexed About AI?

    Summer Reading and Still Perplexed About AI?
    2026/07/31
    For this year's summer reading recommendations, host Lee Rawles shares three recommended reads, three books on her to-be-read pile, and three TV shows she's enjoyed. The recommended reads are all fiction this time around, ranging from a spooky contemporary, to a historical novel about the Black Death, to a frothy sweet romance novel. Her to-be-read pile includes a Danish book about time loops, a history of the world in 12 shipwrecks, and a romantic fantasy book with the tag line: "Two heroes. One brain cell." After her pop culture picks, this episode includes a re-airing of a May 2025 interview with Richard Susskind about his book How to Think About AI: A Guide for the Perplexed. There have been so many developments in the AI landscape in the year since it first aired that it's worth listening back to Susskind's predictions and warnings to see what's already come true and what has changed. Recommended Reads: The Children, by Melissa Albert The Last Hours and The Turn of Midnight, by Minette Walters The MASH Up, by Laura Marie Meyers To Be Read: On the Calculation of Volume I, by Solvej Balle A History of the World in Twelve Shipwrecks, by David Gibbons Bromantasy, by Maire Roche Recommended Watches: Star City, on Apple TV Silo, on Apple TV The Other Bennett Sister, on Britbox
