I'm Jim, and I'm a lawyer.

But I don't write about legal topics.

I write about leadership and personal growth.

Why learn from me?

I bring an expertise you won’t find anywhere else online.

Besides leading teams in multiple law firms for years...

And starting two law practices from scratch...

In 2017 I branched out … I co-founded a telehealth website where we helped people overcome excess drinking through medication-assisted treatment and personal development coaching.

What’s the link to lawyering?

As a lawyer, I defend against injury cases that require a deep understanding of medicine and psychology. 

I’ve deposed over 300 doctors and mental health providers, diving into medical and psychological concepts at their level.

I transferred that skill set, along with years of solving problems for clients, into the wellness and personal growth space.

I applied my analytical skills, the same I use to dissect real-world medical and psychological concepts, to pick apart the science behind personal development.

I crafted not just medical solutions (through the doctors we contracted with) but also systemized, actionable, personal growth training for our patients.

And we didn’t just aim to restore patients to an average level of health...

We transformed their lives through growth-focused skills ⚡

Here are a few testimonials we received from patients that went through our program:

✅ “This program didn’t just change my habits - it gave me the confidence and clarity to control my life in ways I never thought possible."

✅ “Your support and coaching is invaluable. I’m so lucky to have you and Alcure. It has helped immensely.”

✅ “I especially wanted you to know that your videos alone were worth the first month. You do great work!”

✅ "Loved your videos on Life Hacks, Minimalism, and Gratitude.”

✅ “My future looks so much brighter! Thank you. I was skeptical, but now I’m proof that this approach works. I can’t wait to see where I go from here.”

After helping 400+ people (many during the pandemic) and generating over $500,000 in revenue, we wrapped up the project in 2023.

Now I’m onto new ventures.

Some more about me:

✅ Made over $500,000 in revenue with a telehealth website while maintaining a full-time law practice

✅ Thomson Reuters ranked Super Lawyer (2012-2025), top 5% in Southern California

Learn to lead yourself.
Learn to lead others.

James Kamanski

Hiring for experience feels safe.
Hiring for potential feels bold.

But only the second one drives long-term success.

Love this post from Rob Dance

Some of the best people I’ve worked with started in roles they weren’t “ready” for.

They didn’t check every box.
But they showed up ready to learn fast.
And that’s what separated them from the rest.

When you hire people who are hungry to grow:

+ You get new ideas, not recycled methods.
+ You get fresh energy, not burnout.
+ You get loyalty, not entitlement.

Because passionate people treat your mission like it’s their own.

As leaders, our job isn’t to find the most “qualified” person.
It’s to create an environment:
→ Where people become more qualified every single month.

That’s what real leadership does:
→ It develops potential into performance.

So next time you’re reviewing applications,
look beyond the bullet points.

Ask yourself:
→ Do they light up when they talk about learning?
→ Do they take responsibility for growth?
→ Do they make me want to work harder just by being around them?

That’s the hire you make.

P.S. Who’s one person you’ve seen grow faster than their experience should’ve allowed? Tag them 👇

You do not need a title to lead.
You only need to care.

Leadership is not printed on a business card.

It is written in the way:
+ you listen 
+ you show up
+ you support others

A title may create authority, but genuine care creates influence.

Think back to the people you have truly followed in your own life.

It was rarely because of the position they held.

It was almost always because of how they made you feel, valued, respected, and capable of more than you imagined.

Leaders who rely only on authority:

→ Speak more than they listen.
→ Demand loyalty instead of earning it.
→ Treat people as resources rather than as humans.

Leaders who lead through care:

→ Build trust one conversation at a time.
→ Recognize effort, not just results.
→ Defend their people in moments of difficulty.
→ Give credit before they take it.

A title may get compliance.

Care inspires commitment.

People do not follow a job description.

They follow trust.
They follow empathy.
They follow those who help them grow.

True leadership is not granted by a role.
It is chosen every day by the people who decide to walk with you.

If you want influence, do not chase status.
✅ Show up with consistency.
✅ Lead with care.
✅ Earn loyalty through action.

That is the kind of leadership that endures.

Everyone chases secrets.
Buffett mastered simplicity.

The habits that made him rich are the ones most people overlook.

→ Stay calm under pressure.
Reacting fast feels powerful. Responding wisely builds wealth.

→ Never stop learning.
Curiosity compounds faster than money.

→ Surround yourself with better people.
Environment shapes outcomes more than effort.

→ Say no often.
Focus multiplies results. Distraction divides them.

→ The boring stuff builds wealth.
Consistency is the real compounding strategy.

Buffett’s edge was never complexity - it was clarity.

He didn’t need to do everything.

He just needed to do the right things, long enough.

Actively Volunteered at AASRAA (Advocates Association For Social Responsibility And Awareness)

Intern

High Court of TS

Awards and Recognitions

I am honoured to have achieved significant milestones across various domains, reflecting my diverse interests and dedication to excellence. At an all India level yoga competition, I attained a gold medal, showcasing my proficiency and commitment to holistic well-being. Additionally, my passion for language and culture led me to secure a state-level ranking in the Sanskrit language examination, demonstrating my proficiency in this ancient and revered language. Furthermore, I had the privilege of contributing to the celebration of India's 75 years of independence, the Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav, by setting high-range world records through my performances on the Carnatic Veena, a classical musical instrument.


With nine years of dedicated experience in social activities, my journey has started at a young age. I took tuition for secondary high school students for free. Later, throughout my journey, I have actively pursued opportunities to broaden my expertise and make a meaningful impact. This included, in 2022, I had the privilege of interning for two months at the Supreme Court of India, where I specialised in advocacy. This experience provided me with a deep understanding of legal procedures and courtroom dynamics and honed my skills in legal research and analysis. Prior to that, in 2021, I embarked on a one-month internship at the Advocate General's Office of the Telangana High Court, further enriching my knowledge of legal processes at the state level. Complementing my legal pursuits, I have been an active volunteer at AASRAA (Advocates Association for Social Responsibility and Awareness).
Throughout my college years, I dedicated my free time to serving my community, focusing on empowering adolescent girls and providing educational opportunities to underprivileged youth. As part of the Seva Bharathi organisation's Kishori Vikas project, I conducted over 300 free tuition sessions for adolescent girls in 272 communities. Starting as a single tuition teacher, I played a pivotal role in expanding this initiative, resulting in the establishment of over 80 tuition centres under my coordination. Additionally, through the Konda Laxman Bapuji Foundation, we facilitated scholarships for over 50 students, enabling them to pursue higher education and fulfil their potential. Collaborating with the Rama Krishna Math, we initiated a book distribution program, setting up libraries including one at the Shaikpet centre. Furthermore, I spearheaded computer literacy programs and career guidance at various locations.
