How to Turn Your Legal Expertise Into Multiple Revenue Streams feat. Susan Guthrie (April 2022)

Susan Guthrie spent decades as a successful family law attorney,
but when life pushed her to relocate and reimagine her career,
she embraced innovation instead of starting over. Now, she’s a
nationally recognized mediation expert, online business owner,
and podcast host, helping legal professionals expand their skills
beyond traditional practice. In this episode, Susan shares how
she transitioned from courtroom litigation to a thriving
mediation business, the importance of leveraging technology in
law, and why attorneys should think bigger when it comes to using
their expertise.





Lawyer Side Hustles


Susan’s career pivot didn’t just lead her to mediation—it led her
to building multiple successful businesses. When she first moved
her practice online, colleagues started asking her how she did
it, which led to the creation of Learn to Mediate Online, a
training program that has now educated thousands of
professionals.
“People kept coming back and saying, ‘Well, what more can you
teach me?’ So I started creating programs on online marketing,
website development, and podcasting. It all grew from people asking
me for more information,” shares Susan Guthrie in Episode 185 of
You Are a Lawyer.

In addition to her mediation training programs, Susan also hosts
The Divorce & Beyond Podcast, where she shares insights on
family law, conflict resolution, and life after divorce. Her
businesses show that lawyers can generate income and build
authority in their field through education, media, and digital
services.
