On this episode of Conscious Curiosity SD, Jeff sat down with Lauren Gallagher and Lori Bolander of Gallagher, Bolander, Smedley, LLP, a firm that has been serving San Diego families for over 70 years and current clients of Jeff’s at Jailbreak Leadership.
This conversation goes beyond the practice of law and into what it really looks like to lead, partner, and build something that lasts. Lauren and Lori speak candidly about the reality of partnership—it’s not always easy, and it’s constantly evolving—and what it takes to build and sustain culture as an organization grows. They share what it means to lead when things aren’t going according to plan, and how their work sits at the intersection of life, loss, and legacy. At its core, they are in the relationship business, helping people navigate some of the most personal and vulnerable moments of their lives, and that perspective shapes how they lead their team and each other.
It’s a grounded, real conversation about trust, communication, and continuing to move forward—and a reminder that if you have a body, you need a plan.
