Protecting Your Ass-ets with Heather Pea...

Sarah Archer: Speaker, Comedian, Author, Playwright and Coach
About this episode

SUMMARY:

Getting a clear understanding of how to properly protect the IP and assets you’ve created as a speaker can be a struggle. But doing nothing could leave you and your business at risk. Worry no more, that’s where my guest Heather Pearce-Campbell comes in.

 

SHOW NOTES:

Let’s face it, trying to navigate how to protect the IP you’ve created in talks, books and courses, can make you feel like Frodo trying to get the ring safely to Mordor

… confused, scared and worried about people stealing your precious stuff.

The truth is that the legal profession hasn’t really moved as fast as today’s entrepreneurs have needed it too… and that has left most of us using hope as a strategy when it comes to looking after our assets.

But, I’ve got you … actually more to the point Heather Pearce-Campbell has got you!

She is a dedicated attorney and legal coach for world-changing entrepreneurs, as well as the founder of Pearce Law PLLC. She is also the creator of The Legal Website Warrior®, an online business that provides legal education and support to information entrepreneurs (coaches, consultants, online educators, speakers & authors) around the U.S. and the world.

Heather has some huge names as clients including Lewis Howes (School of Greatness), Ryder Carroll (The Bullet Journal), and Kyle Cease (NYT Bestselling author & comedian), to name but a few. 

On top of all of that she is also the host of the Guts, Grit & Great Business™ podcast, a speaker and a busy Mum!

She’s joining me on the speaking club to give you some clarity and confidence when it comes to setting the right legal foundations for your business and planning for success. 

What you’ll discover:

  • How Heather’s career might have taken a different trajectory if her Dad had paid for college.

  • Why so many entrepreneurs feel scared and intimidated about the legal side of business.

  • The biggest legal risks that online entrepreneurs face. 

  • Why entrepreneurs are so underserved from a legal perspective.

  • What speakers specifically need to be mindful of to protect themselves legally.

  • The difference between a registered trademark, IP and copyright.

  • At what point you should be taking steps to protect what you create.

  • A simple framework you can follow to protect yourself and your business legally.. 

  • The most important thing you need to do today to get started.
