How to get legally aligned in your business with Sam Vander Wielen
SAM V IS ON THE PODCAST THIS WEEK! If your brand isn't legally legit yet then this is THE only episode you need to hear right now.
Sam Vander Wielen is an attorney-turned-entrepreneur and legal educator who helps coaches & service-providers legally protect and grow their online brands through her legal templates and signature program, the Fearlessly Legal™️ Ultimate Bundle. Sam lives in Philadelphia, PA with her husband Ryan, lots of plants and her ever-growing stack of favorite books. If you’ve always associated attorneys with words like “shark,” “intense,” and “cutthroat,” you’re in for a down-to-earth breath of legal fresh air from Sam on this episode!
I'm so happy to have crossed paths with this amazing person. Before I met Sam, my business definitely wasn't covering all the legal bases, aside from being an LLC + having basic site policies (that I thought were legit but really weren't). Ugh!
Now, thanks to Sam's incredible resources, I'm saving my "vegan bacon" as she says. Thank. Goodness. There was SO much I didn't realize I was missing for my website + programs. Eek!
This is an exciting time to have an online business / create digital content but it's also a scary one that can open you up to a lot of shadyyyy stuff like...people stealing your content. And, if you're not prepared, it could really hurt your business. Actually, it could end it. Luckily, there are ways to protect yourself + Sam is spilling them all on this week's episode!
