🎙️ PODCAST SPOTLIGHT – MIKE ALDER ON FAILURE, FOCUS & FORTITUDE “I went 0 for 7 in interviews. The 8th changed everything.” That quote from Michael Alder—a top trial attorney and founder of AlderLaw —stuck with me. In this episode of The Intentional Entrepreneur, Mike and I talked openly about: • Rebounding from loss (in court and in life) • Reframing failure as feedback • The discipline behind success—from cold plunges to journaling • Balancing family life with high-stakes legal work • Why self-talk is the most important conversation you’ll ever have If you’re an entrepreneur, attorney, or professional dealing with high-pressure decisions (and self-doubt), this episode will resonate. 👉 Watch the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/gBTw2ZN6 Let me know your biggest takeaway in the comments—or tag someone who needs to hear this today. 🎧 Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Creators and YouTube.

📢 YouTube Comment Spotlight 🎥 Last month, we dropped a video every artist should see: “How to Trademark Your Artist Name & Protect Your Brand!” 💬 @FlyBoiWillie asked: “Can you get your artist name trademarked and get the other category later?” 👨⚖️ Answer: Nope — each category needs its own separate application. 🎬 In the video, we cover: ✔️ How to check if your name is available ✔️ Choosing the right class (music, merch, etc.) ✔️ Why word marks offer stronger protection ✔️ Real success: Trademark approved in just 6 months! 📺 Watch it here: https://lnkd.in/gQM6dKTi Got a question?

🚨 TRADEMARK MYTHS — BUSTED!   If you believe any of these, your brand might be at risk: 1️⃣ “I have a domain, so I’m protected.” 2️⃣ “Filing = Registration” 3️⃣ “I don’t need a lawyer.” 👉 These misconceptions are common—and costly. Trademark protection isn't automatic, and it's not as simple as just filing a form. It requires a strategy—and yes, legal know-how. That’s exactly what we provide at CANEI. 💡 As discussed on The Power Hour of Business, we help business owners avoid traps that could lead to lawsuits, lost rights, or expensive rebranding. 📲 Want to protect your name, logo, or slogan the right way? Let’s talk. https://lnkd.in/gt2jz6Wv 👉 Watch the full episode here: https://lnkd.in/g3Cp24qy #LegalTipsforSmartEntrepreneurs #TrademarkProtection #CANEI #BusinessTips #EntrepreneurLaw #SmallBusinessSupport #TrademarkMyths #ThePowerHourofBusiness #BrandProtection #CaliforniaBusinessLaw
