When the Covid-19 pandemic hit, Bryan saw a need to keep his clients informed, which inspired him to launch the Employment Law After Hours podcast. With over 1,400 subscribers, Bryan has produced more than 50 episodes, delivering insightful and engaging discussions on a wide range of legal topics.  

As Bryan shares, "The law is complex and nuanced, but there isn't a reason why lawyers can't make it approachable and easy to understand."
