Scaling to 15 Attorneys in 7 Years: A Journey of Faith, Family & Service — with John Cannon
A remarkable man on a remarkable journey! In this episode, Sasha Berson swaps insights with John Cannon, the brilliant founder of Cannon & Associates. John breaks down how he scaled a criminal defense and family law firm to 15 attorneys in under 7 years… while serving in the National Guard, raising a family of three, and running a successful home building business.
📰 About John Cannon:
John Cannon is the founder of Cannon & Associates, a thriving Oklahoma City law firm specializing in criminal defense and family law. In just 7 years, John scaled his practice to 15 attorneys and 800+ cases with the right systems, while staying true to his mission of faith, family, and country.
👉 Sasha and John explore:
— How John built a 15-attorney, 30-staff firm in under 7 years while also serving in the National Guard.
— Why “shiny object syndrome” almost derailed his firm, and how hyper-focus became the key to growth.
— How the Cannon & Associates’ website generates 20K–40K monthly visitors through free, useful content.
— Why AI and video are the “next wave” for law firm marketing, and how to stay ahead of the curve.
👉 Main Takeaways from the Episode:
— Don’t chase every practice area: get really good at one thing before adding the second or third.
— Content compounds: write, record, and publish useful content consistently (it will snowball into cases!)
— Invest in your staff with clear roles and responsibilities. It’s the most profitable “marketing investment” you’ll ever make.
— Use AI today: spend at least 8 hours testing how chatbots rank firms in your niche and adjust your strategy to match.
