Paul McCartney's Perfect Album & the "Wheel of Justice" with Matt Spiegel

Jared Correia takes us on a musical journey before subjecting a legal tech CEO to the unforgiving "Wheel of Justice."

First, in the monologue, Jared adds another entry to the "Perfect Album" series: Paul McCartney's Ram (1971). Jared explains why the post-Beatles breakup era was McCartney's absolute prime, why Ram is essentially McCartney's "Taylor Swift album" (full of diss tracks aimed at John Lennon), and why you need to listen to the bizarre genius of "Percy Thrillington."

Then, we flip the script. Instead of a traditional interview, Jared brings on Matt Spiegel, CEO and founder of Lawmatics, for a full-length round of the Wheel of Justice. Jared spins the wheel, and Matt answers whatever random questions come up.

In this chaotic and insightful interview, we discuss:

• Legal Tech Adopters: Why "arrogance-driven fear" is the biggest hurdle keeping lawyers from adopting new technology.
• The AI Bubble: Matt's take on why many current AI products are just "glorified ChatGPT wrappers," and why the real future of legal tech is in "agentic platforms."
• Law Firm Marketing: The single biggest mistake lawyers make when spending money, and the two KPIs you must track (Cost Per Lead & Cost Per Customer).
• Random Chaos: Matt's apocalypse survival plan (it involves stealing a $200 million LA mansion), the sentimental value of the original Game Boy, and the "Death Row Last Meal" question featuring a very specific fast-food French fry.

Tune in for 10 rounds of the Wheel of Justice with one of legal tech's brightest minds!
