27+ Years Helping Lawyers Build for Life After Law — Without Sacrificing Today | Clarity • Intention • Legacy | Founder, The Wealthy Lawyer

Let’s be honest.

Most lawyers were never taught how to manage wealth.

Yet as your career progresses into partnership or ownership, the financial decisions only get larger, more complex and more consequential.

Over time, I’ve noticed income often grows faster than the financial structure around it.

I work primarily with successful lawyers, particularly partners, who earn exceptionally well on paper but still feel the quiet pressure of knowing the structure underneath their income may not be as solid as it should be.

By the time many lawyers reach partnership, life often looks successful from the outside.

Strong income.
A beautiful home.
A busy practice.
A family depending on you.

But behind the scenes, the questions become more complicated:

• Is the corporate structure actually working the way it should?
• Is excess income being used efficiently?
• What happens if income ever slows, stops, or transitions?
• Are taxes, risk, and long-term wealth being managed intentionally?

Different circumstances.

But the same underlying question often sits quietly in the background:
“Am I making the right decisions with what I’ve built?”

That’s where I come in.

For nearly three decades, I’ve worked alongside lawyers across their full career arc — including many now approaching retirement — which gives me perspective on what works over time… and what quietly creates stress later.

My role isn’t to sell products.
It’s to bring order to complexity.

To turn high income into structured, durable wealth so success translates into confidence, protection, and long-term choice.

My work focuses on a few core pillars:

• Protecting income before chasing returns
• Giving corporate and personal dollars a defined role
• Reducing unnecessary tax and structural drag
• Designing wealth that supports life now — and life after law

Most partners reach out when they:

• Have built meaningful income but feel their financial structure hasn’t kept pace
• Are newly named partners and want their financial life to reflect it
• Are sitting on significant corporate cash without a clear strategy
• Want to ensure their family and legacy are properly protected

After working together, the feedback is often similar.

✅They feel organized instead of reactive.
✅Confident instead of second-guessing.
✅Clear about where everything is going — and why.

You’re in the business of law.

I focus on the financial architecture that supports it.

Most conversations start with a simple virtual coffee.

No pitch.
No pressure.
Just clarity — and a chance to see if there’s a calmer way forward.

Jeffery M. Lamont

Most lawyers don’t have a money problem.
They have a mindset problem.

It’s called Lifestyle Creep.
The quiet upgrade that steals your freedom...
one “you deserve it” purchase at a time.

You can look rich...
or be wealthy.
Rarely both.

I met with a lawyer, recently, making a little over $1M a year.

Luxury car.
Designer suits.
Kids in private school.

On paper? 
Crushing it

In reality?
No plan
No margin
No liquidity

Every dollar coming in
had a place going out...
and not in a good way.

That’s not wealth.
That’s financial pressure disguised as success.

Here’s what I’ve learned working with lawyers for 28+ years:
Wealthy lawyers think differently.

✅ They delay gratification.
✅ They use debt strategically — not emotionally.
✅ They build liquidity before lifestyle.
✅ They make their money work as hard as they do.

When you start treating your finances with the same strategy you bring to your cases...

→ You stop chasing short-term wins.
→ You start building long-term independence.
→ You create a legacy that lasts beyond your career.

Becoming a Wealthy Lawyer isn’t about sacrifice...
it’s about structure.

So ask yourself:
Are your financial habits building wealth...
or just funding appearances?


💭 What’s one mindset shift that’s helped you keep Lifestyle Creep in check?

This week had some miles on it.

Charleston, WV — cheering on Harry.
A drive to London to get Bridget settled back at school.
Client meetings stacked at the tail end of RRSP season.
A late-night airport pickup in Buffalo for Jack, home for a few days.

A lot of driving.
A lot of responsibility.
A lot of “be where you need to be.”

But right in the middle of it all…

Raptors vs. Spurs.

Midweek.
Unexpected.
Exactly what I needed.

Met up with an old friend I’ve known for years.
No agenda.
No planning.
No files.

Just a game.
And a chance to catch up.

The Raptors may have lost,
but the night was still a win.

I talk a lot about being there for your family.
About building structure so your work supports your life.

But there’s another piece people quietly neglect.

You.

The friendships that existed before the titles.
The pauses that reset your head.
The moments that don’t move the scoreboard —
but still matter.

The work matters.

So does the pause.

Take a breath this weekend.

You’ve earned it.

They say most superheroes don’t wear capes…

They just show up.
Every single day.

To all the Super-Women in my life...
thank you!

Today is International Women’s Day.

But honestly…
every day should be.

I’ve been lucky to be surrounded by incredible women my entire life.

Women who lead.
Inspire.
Push boundaries.
And, most importantly…
show up.

• Some wear suits.
• Some wear scrubs.
• Some wear cleats, aprons, or baby carriers.

Some manage to do it all at once.

Each one playing a role that makes the world,
and my world,
better.

Today I want to acknowledge just a few of the many women I’m grateful for:

• My wife – Colleen
The strongest person I know. Somehow balancing family, work, and everything in between (especially me) with grace, grit, and a whole lot of love.

• My daughter – Bridget
Fearless and driven, and while finishing her freshman year at university, is already proving she’s going to make a huge impact in the world.

• My mom
Although she’s no longer with us, she was the definition of resilience and unconditional love and was the rock of our family.

• My mother-in-law – Sheila
A pillar of strength and kindness whose love and wisdom have influenced so many people in her life and continue to guide and shape our family… and me.

• My colleagues, clients, and friends
Too many to name — women who do amazing things and are breaking barriers while paving the way for themselves and the next generation.

Women juggle more than we’ll ever fully see.

And somehow…
they make it look effortless.

So today I just want to say:

I see you.
I appreciate you.
And I celebrate you.

If there’s a woman in your life who deserves recognition today, give her a shout-out below.


Let’s fill the comments with some well-deserved gratitude. 👇

I’ve noticed there are two kinds of people when it comes to money...

Those who think about it every day…
and those who barely think about it at all.

Both may earn the same income.

Both may be equally responsible.

But the experience of money feels completely different.

For one person, it’s always sitting somewhere in the back of their mind.

• Should we spend this?
• Are we saving enough?
• Are we doing this the right way?

The questions never fully leave.

The other person just lives their life.

• Work.
• Family.
• Plans for the future.

Money quietly does what it’s supposed to do in the background.

The interesting part is this.

The difference usually isn’t income.

It’s clarity.

Once the structure underneath the money finally makes sense…
that constant background noise starts to fade.

Jeffery M Lamont

You earn $330,000 and still feel broke.
Here’s why…

Meet a client of mine who faced this exact challenge.

→ 34
→ Newly engaged
→ Student debt finally paid off
→ $285k salary + $45k bonus

Despite his income, he was anxious.
He didn’t feel in control.
And planning for the future felt… murky.

He had three big goals:
	1.	Save for the wedding
	2.	Buy their first home
	3.	Retire “early-ish”

The kicker?
That bonus wasn’t guaranteed.

And that uncertainty made everything feel harder.

When he came to us, he had:
→ $14,000 in savings
→ $27,000 in his TFSA
→ $42,000 in his RRSP

A solid start… but no system.
Just guessing, hoping, and feeling behind.

Even as a high performer, BigLaw was grinding him down…
and early retirement became the dream.

He was successful on paper…
But it didn’t feel like success.

Here’s what we did together:

→ Covered him and his fiancée with proper insurance (life + CI)
→ Created a plan to make the most of his bonus if it comes
→ Built a cash flow system that works off his base salary
→ Boosted short-term savings for the wedding
→ Opened FHSAs for both of them to maximize their first-home plan

Now?

→ They’ve got peace of mind knowing they’re protected
→ They’re on track for their share of the wedding and a condo down payment
→ He feels calm, not panicked, about his monthly cash flow
→ His retirement plan? Age 58… if he stays the course

We’re just over a year into working together.
He says he finally feels clear. In control. Like he’s actually getting somewhere.
Less stress, more direction.

And honestly?
That’s everything.
Because for high achievers like him, peace of mind isn’t a luxury… it’s the ultimate ROI.

No more sleepless nights wondering where the money went.
Now he has a system. A plan. A path forward.

I’m Jeffery, the wealth advisor helping lawyers take control of their money and build the lives they actually want.

Let’s chat over virtual coffee.
No pressure. No pitch. Just clarity

A lot of very successful lawyers quietly feel financially unsettled...

Even when they're earning:
$300K
$600K
$1M+

From the outside, everything looks exactly the way success is supposed to look.

Strong income.
A thriving practice.
A family depending on them.

But when we sit down and actually walk through the numbers…
a different story often appears.

And it’s rarely about income.
It’s almost always about perspective.

Because when you’re inside the day-to-day of a busy legal career, it’s easy to get pulled into the weeds.

The small decisions start to feel like the big ones.

• Should we spend this?
• Should we hold off on that?
• Are we saving enough?
• Are we doing this the “right” way?

Even very successful lawyers start second-guessing themselves.

Not because they’re doing poorly.

Because they’ve never stepped back and seen how everything fits together.

And when they finally do…
something shifts.

The $7 coffee stops being the issue.
Dinner out stops feeling irresponsible.
The vacation stops feeling like something that needs justification.

Because you start to see the real levers that actually matter:

• Structure.
• Clarity.
• A plan underneath the income.

After almost three decades working with lawyers, I’ve noticed something:

The lawyers who feel the calmest about their finances aren’t always the ones earning the most.

They’re the ones who finally understand how everything fits together.

→ Their income has a plan
→ Their savings have a purpose
→ Their insurance matches the life they’re living
→ Their corporate money actually has a job

Once that structure is in place…
money stops being something they think about every day.

It just quietly does what it’s supposed to do.

And that’s usually the moment they say something I hear all the time:
“I feel like I can finally breathe.”

Not because their income changed…
but because the structure underneath it finally made sense.

I’m Jeffery, the wealth advisor who helps lawyers pull everything together to create a clear picture of today and a path to tomorrow.

Most conversations start with a simple virtual coffee.

No pitch.
No pressure.
Just clarity.

7:02 tonight…
And this was my view of the CN Tower.

55 floors up at Canoe for an early St. Paddy’s Day celebration with portfolio managers visiting from Ireland and the UK.

Toronto showing off on a clear March evening. 🍀

Thanks to Keyridge Asset Management for hosting a great event.

If you don’t know your number…
you’ll always feel behind.

Even when the income is good.
Even when the career is working.

And that’s the confusing part.

You’re earning well.
You’re not living recklessly.

So why does it still feel like you’re sprinting just to stay in place?

Here’s what I see all the time when I sit down with lawyers.

They make great money.

But they’ve never actually run the number behind the life they’re trying to build.

Not the bare-bones survival number.

The real one.

Your ideal month.

The one that includes:

→ Dinner out on Fridays
→ Baseball or dance for the kids
→ A weekend away every few months
→ Savings for the cottage, the big trip, or the second home

That number matters more than most people realize.

Because when you know it…

You stop guessing.

You stop second-guessing every financial decision.

And you start putting structure behind the life you’re working so hard to build.

Without that number, every decision feels heavier than it should.

Should we spend this?
Should we save more?
Are we doing enough?

No wonder it feels like a grind.

Most lawyers I meet are doing fine.

But they don’t actually know what they’re working toward.

They’ve never mapped the life… and then attached numbers to it.

And once you do?

Something interesting happens.

Money stops feeling chaotic.

And starts feeling intentional.

Most people are closer than they think.

They just haven’t run the numbers yet.


I’m Jeffery — the advisor who helps lawyers bring structure and clarity to financial decisions that rarely have simple answers.

Routines are a funny thing...

When they’re working, you barely notice them.

When they stop, you forget how valuable they were…
until you start them up again.

Today was that day for me.

Sunrise walk with Rawlings down by the lake — not a bad way to start the day!

Good to be back.


👉 what's one thing do you do to get the day started right?

Most lawyers I meet track their billables more precisely than their net worth.

They can tell you what they earned last month.

But not what their money is actually doing.

Your law practice is a machine.

Your wealth should be too.

You’ve systemized
your calendar,
your intake,
your growth engine.

But your financial life?

Still running on instinct.

You’ve got a Pro Corp...
but no clear strategy for your cash.

You’ve built a successful practice...
but no defined path to step away on your terms.

You’re earning more than ever...
but still wondering where the freedom went.

Let me be blunt:

A high income without structure
is just expensive chaos.

Not because you’re bad with money.

Because no one built the machine.

A real wealth system should:

• Buy back your time sooner.
• Reduce decision fatigue.
• Grow assets efficiently.
• Protect your lifestyle.
• Minimize taxes intentionally.

When it works, wealth feels light.

When it doesn't, it feel like pressure.

Even at $800K.
Even at $1M+.

You built your practice with intention.

Your wealth deserves the same.

Most of these conversations don't start with products.

They start with clarity.

At a certain level, earning more doesn't solve it.

Building structure does.

You’re not stuck because you’re broke…

You’re stuck because your money’s a mess.
(Not your fault — just the truth.)

Most of the lawyers I meet aren’t drowning in debt.

They’re drowning in financial sprawl.

Money in a corporation.
Investments in two different firms.
Old RRSPs from three career stops ago.
Three TFSAs no one has looked at in years.

Insurance policies nobody remembers buying.
Tax strategies half-implemented.
Statements scattered across inboxes.

From the outside?

Everything looks successful.

But underneath it all…
there’s this quiet pressure:

“Something about my finances should feel more organized than this.”

That’s not an income problem.

It’s a structure problem.

And that kind of financial fog creeps in slowly.

It makes you hesitate to invest.
Delay long-term planning.
Second-guess big decisions.

Not because you’re doing poorly.

Because you can’t actually see the full picture.

I see this all the time with successful partners.

Great income.
Great careers.
Millions flowing through their hands over a lifetime.

But when everything is scattered across accounts, corporations, advisors, and statements…

It’s surprisingly hard to answer one simple question:

“Are we actually moving forward?”

The turning point usually isn’t a new investment.

It’s the moment everything finally sits in one place
and someone can step back and say:

“Okay. Now we can actually see it.”

That’s when the pressure starts to ease.

Because control doesn’t come from a bigger paycheque.

It comes from structure.

I’m Jeffery.

For nearly three decades I’ve worked with lawyers who earn well…
but still feel like their finances are harder than they should be.

Most conversations start with a simple virtual coffee.
No pitch. No pressure. Just clarity.

When your kids start stepping into adulthood…

Your time horizon changes.

This weekend we’re heading to West Virginia.

My son’s in his sophomore year.
Playing baseball.
Studying business — financial planning concentration.

(Yes. Apples and trees.)

My oldest went south to play ball too.
Graduating this year with a business degree and a marketing focus.

My daughter?
Freshman year.
Already talking about law school.

Watching them step into their own lives has a way of shifting your perspective.

You stop thinking quarterly.
You start thinking generationally.

You think about:

• What survives you
• What transfers cleanly
• What creates opportunity instead of burden

Because the question changes.

It’s no longer just: “What am I earning?”

It becomes: “What am I building toward?”

Lifestyle.
Freedom.
Security.
Continuity.

Or something that outlives you entirely.

Even considering that possibility changes how you build.

At some point, everyone’s time horizon shifts.

The only question is whether you recognize it when it does.

Today would have been my mom’s 76th birthday.

She passed on July 14, 2019.

The last seven months of her life, she lived with us.

Those months changed me.
They changed us.

Having a parent back under your roof... with the roles subtly shifting,
changes how you see everything.

It’s humbling.
And clarifying.

But something else happened in those months.

She got extra time with her three grandkids.

Ordinary days that turned into closer moments.
Conversations that wouldn’t have happened otherwise.
Memories they’ll carry long after the details fade.

More time.
More proximity.
More connection.

Her last few years weren't easy.

She wasn’t loud about what she carried.
She just carried it.

Family. Responsibility. Hard seasons.
All of it.

Living together in those final months wasn’t always easy.
But I wouldn’t trade that time for anything.

Quiet conversations.
Shared meals.
Moments I didn’t know were the last of their kind.

If you’re in that season right now,
caring for a parent, or missing one,
you know how quickly time compresses.

And now, when I think about what really matters...
what endures... 
what’s worth building carefully...
and protecting...

It's no longer abstract.

Happy Birthday, Mom.

Thank you for the strength you carried.
For the steadiness you modeled.
For the love you gave so quietly and consistently.

We’re still building on it.

Most lawyers don’t struggle financially because they don’t earn enough...

They struggle because the structure underneath their income never gets rebuilt.

Income grows.
Family grows.
Life grows.
Expectations grow.

But the system managing the money often stays exactly the same.

I met with a partner last week earning just over $1.2M.

Beautiful home.
Great neighborhood.
Kids doing well.

From the outside?

Exactly what success is supposed to look like.

But once we walked through the numbers, a different picture emerged…

• Corporate cash sitting with no real mandate.
• Insurance that hadn’t been reviewed in years.
• Retirement living more as
“we’ll be fine”
than an actual plan.

Individually?
Everything made sense.

Together?
Surprisingly unorganized.

After almost three decades working with lawyers, I see this pattern a lot.

Financial pressure often shows up early in a career.

What surprises people is how often it follows them upward.

The numbers get bigger.

But the structure underneath the money never changes.

In many cases…
it just changes shape.

And if the structure never evolves...
the pressure stays.

The lawyers who eventually feel calm about their finances tend to do a few things differently:

✅️ They give their corporate money a job.
✅️ They redesign how income flows through their lives.
✅️ They align protection with the life they’ve built.
✅️ They make long-term decisions deliberately.

Nothing flashy.
Just organized.

Because financial independence rarely comes from earning more.

It comes from making sure the structure underneath your success actually makes sense.


A question worth sitting with:
👉 Is your financial life intentionally organized…
or just functioning because income is high?


────
I’m Jeffery Lamont, the Wealth Advisor to Lawyers helping partners organize the structure underneath their success.

Most conversations start with a virtual coffee.
No pitch. No pressure. Just clarity.

You’re earning $1.35M a year.

So why does cash flow still feel… tight?

You did everything right.

Made partner.
Built investments.
Bought the house.
Gave your family what you didn’t have.

And yet.

There’s not as much margin as there should be.

Two teens looking at university.
A spouse working part-time.
A corporation sitting on cash — but no real mandate for it.

They weren’t reckless.

They were running fast…
but nothing underneath was really tied together.

And at this level, that’s not small.

Uncoordinated gets expensive.

Not because you’re spending wildly.

Because fixed commitments quietly stack.

• Corporate capital sitting idle
• Personal liquidity tighter than it appears
• Insurance that hasn’t kept up with your income
• Education and retirement goals floating around, not anchored to a plan

High income magnifies drift.

It doesn’t fix margin.

And at $1M+ a year, small inefficiencies quietly cost six figures over time.

When we mapped personal, corporate, protection, and timelines together, nothing dramatic changed.

But everything aligned.

• Defined monthly margin
• Capital deployed intentionally
• Protection matched to income reality
• Education and optional retirement scheduled — not assumed

For the first time in a while, they felt ahead.
And breathing room came with it.

Most partners don’t have an income problem.

They have a coordination problem.

And if cash flow feels tighter than it should at this level, that’s usually the stage where I get called.

A simple virtual coffee.

No pitch. No pressure.

Just clarity.

The 5 Places Financial Architecture Quietly Breaks at $1M+

Nobody wakes up reckless.

But many partners assume that once income crosses seven figures…
things will magically feel easier.

More margin.
More breathing room.

That expectation feels reasonable...
but income alone rarely fixes the pressure.

Instead, it magnifies whatever issues already exist in the structure underneath.

Lifestyle expands.
Commitments grow.
Complexity grows faster than the system underneath.

Here’s where the architecture usually starts to stretch:

1. The draw never gets redesigned after equity.
Compensation scales.
Structure doesn’t.
Cash flow starts feeling tighter than it should.

2. Corporate cash accumulates without a mandate.
Money piles up.
No defined job.
Idle capital quietly compounds drift.

3. Margin exists on paper, not in process.
Net worth looks strong.
Liquidity is thinner than it should be.

4. Insurance frozen at old income.
Coverage built at $450K.
Lifestyle built at $1.2M.
The math quietly stops matching reality.

5. Retirement and the kids’ education live as assumptions.
“We’ll be okay.”
“There’s lots of time.”
Until university timelines and retirement start getting real.

None of this feels dramatic.

That’s the point.

Financial architecture rarely collapses loudly.

It erodes quietly.

And quiet erosion is expensive.

The 5 Places Financial Architecture Quietly Breaks

Routines are a funny thing.

When they’re working, you barely notice them.

When they stop, you forget how valuable they were…
until you start them up again.

This week I got back to something that had slipped a bit over the past couple of years…
and even more over the winter.

A simple sunrise walk by the lake with Rawlings.

That walk turned into a bit of a reminder.

Back in 2012, I was interviewed about my daily routine and some of the habits that shaped my days.

I pulled that article up earlier this week.

Some of those habits have stayed with me.

Some drifted as life and business got busier.

And some of them…

I’m now working my way back to.

The funny thing about routines is that when they’re working, everything feels steadier.

Clearer.

Not perfect.

Just… better.

I thought it might be fun to share that old interview here as a carousel.

Not because the routine is perfect.

But because sometimes the things that worked once…

are still worth returning to.

(btw, I’m still working on getting back to the gym part…)

Enjoy the throwback.

And, if you would like to see the interview as it originally printed, DM me, "Routine" and I will send it your way.

My Morning Routine 2012

You’ll make $47 million in your career.

But your family may never actually feel it.

Met a 42-year-old partner recently.
Earning $1.45M today.

We ran the numbers.
Over the next 23 years,
even if his income grows 3% a year,
he’ll earn about $47 million.

On paper, that’s a very impressive sum.

In real life?

It depends on what those years quietly cost you.

There will always be:
Another push.
Another file.
Another year to lock in.
Another reason to keep going.

And, for a long time, that will feel responsible.
Disciplined.
Driven.

And it is.

Until one day you look up…

The kids are grown.
The house is quieter.
And you realize the income scaled…
but the margin didn’t.

Not because you failed.

Because no one ever showed you how to structure it differently.

No one sets out intending to trade time for income forever.

It just happens gradually.
Year by year.
Raise by raise.
Expectation by expectation.

And by the time it really hits you…
you’ve already used up a lot of runway.

Yes, money erodes through:

• Taxes
• Lifestyle creep
• Idle corporate capital
• Poor extraction strategy
• No defined end date

But the deeper erosion is harder to measure:

Time.
Energy.
Optionality.

Earning money ≠ keeping it.
Keeping it ≠ turning it into freedom.

High earners don’t struggle because they lack income.

They struggle because no one coordinated:

• Income
• Lifestyle
• Assets
• Tax strategy
• Exit timeline

When those pieces move independently, even $47M can feel tight.

When they move together, something shifts.

That’s when income becomes optional.
And you get to decide if you’re working…
not because you have to, but because you want to.

And you regain control of the years that are still ahead of you...
while they’re still ahead of you.

Control isn’t a feeling.

It’s a structure.

At the partner level, control usually looks like:

• A defined personal draw
• A corporation with a clear mandate
• Excess captured automatically
• Protection aligned with real income
• Timelines mapped — not assumed

None of that is flashy.
It’s quiet...
and boring.

But boring is ok, because when control is missing...

Income ends up absorbing the mistakes.

For years.
Until it doesn’t.

Most high earners don’t feel reckless.
They feel slightly exposed.

I see this all the time with partners five to ten years into equity.

It sneaks up on them.

Income grew.
The structure never evolved with it.

Control won’t come from just earning more.

It comes from giving every dollar a job.

From getting your money working as hard for you...
as you worked for it.

When the structure is right…

You’re not hoping things hold together.

You know they will.

That’s control.

You could be earning more than ever…
and still drifting from the life you want.

Here’s the thing…

High income isn’t the goal.
Freedom is.
And those two...
aren’t the same.

After almost three decades sitting across from high-performing people and families, here’s what I can tell you.

It’s rarely a work ethic problem...
and rarely an intelligence problem.

It’s that most people just don’t look far enough ahead.

Not because they don’t care.
But because they’re busy.

Busy building.
Busy performing.
Busy winning the next quarter.

And if I’m being honest?

A lot of them aren’t totally clear on what they actually want 20–30 years from now.

And it’s hard to build toward something that you haven't envisioned yet.

So they optimize the next bonus.
The next distribution.
The next deal.

But not the next decade.

That gap doesn’t magically close...
it usually widens.

And most people don’t see it widening until it starts to feel much heavier.

That’s where my conversations tend to start.

Not with products.
Not with investments.

With perspective.

Zooming out.

Figuring out what “freedom” and having "enough" actually means for you.
Not just what looks good on paper.

If you joined recently because something resonated…

This is what you’ll get following along here.

Mirrors.
Observations.
And the occasional nudge...
to think a little further out than feels comfortable.

Let’s face it… hiring isn’t your superpower.

And that’s ok.

Unless you come from a talent background, chances are you’ve never been trained to:
• Run a hiring process that actually works
• Spot Go-To-Market talent who can build pipeline, not just work it
• Get top performers to say yes to your offer

After years in recruiting, I’ve seen it all: missed hires, flaky candidates, awkward interviews and leaders wasting way too much time trying to figure it out alone.

As a startup GTM leader, you’re already maxed out with coaching, closing, forecasting, and everything else on your plate. Finding and closing top talent shouldn’t be another full-time job.

That’s where I come in.

I help startups hire GTM talent that actually drives revenue. Whether you need a full-cycle AE, a marketing leader, or your first on-the-ground GTM hire, I help you find, attract and close the right people fast.

You’re in the right place if:
• You’re scaling and need sellers who can both hunt and close
• You’re tired of ghosting, slow feedback loops and missed hires
• You know your hiring process is costing you time, deals or reputation

Here’s how I can help:

Direct Hire Placement
• Call to align on your GTM role
• Targeted sourcing and vetting (no spammy resumes)
• Interviews scheduled for you
• Offer and negotiation support included

1:1 Hiring Strategy Session
• Tailored strategy for your hiring bottlenecks
• Walk away with plug-and-play interview flows and scorecards
• Perfect if you’re not ready to outsource but want to level up your process

Think of me as your remote hiring partner, helping you build a high-performing GTM team without losing your momentum or your mind.

Let’s build your dream team together.

I accidentally spent a full week in Miami

A long weekend turned into a full week
thanks to the blizzard back home in New England


Not a bad trade

The perfect mix of work and play

Some sun, space and a cortado or two were exactly what I needed


There’s something about working from a different environment

You see things clearer with a fresh perspective


Grateful for the contractors, systems and partners I have in place
that keep everything moving 24/7 no matter where I am

Do you have the right team and systems in place?

Matching GTM and tech talent to SaaS startups | On a mission to eliminate ghosting from hiring

I got in probably the best shape of my life in 2025..
And it had nothing to do with how I wanted to look


I’ve always been active and health-focused

Many of you know I used to be a personal trainer

But this year I had a major shift


I stopped thinking about fitness in terms of aesthetics
and started thinking about it like an athlete

Training for life


That means moving throughout the day..

Standing at my desk instead of sitting
Getting plenty of sunshine
Walking pad 
Lifting
Yoga

Hydrating
Eating well
Taking care of my mind


Without my health, I couldn’t do any of the things I’m doing right now

What are you training for?

5 Reasons You Should Ghost a Candidate:


1.
Who cares about your brand
It’ll always be there, right?

2.
Reputation?
Overrated

3.
Your bottom line won’t be impacted at all
People love buying from companies that ignored them

4.
Top talent enjoys being left in limbo
Silence builds loyalty

5.
Candidates definitely don’t talk to each other
Or post about their experiences online


What did I miss?

It’s been a while since I’ve done this..


Hi, I’m Meg!

Founder of DiGi Staffing Solutions

We place GTM and Tech talent at startup SaaS companies
HealthTech, InsurTech, FinTech, AI to name a few..


I’m also Co-Founder and CEO of JobGhost
We eliminate ghosting for our users 100% of the time

Built for hiring managers, recruiters and HR teams 
who want to protect their brand, reputation and bottom line


Lastly, I started a trend called Friday Feedback Day
to encourage giving feedback before the weekend

Either close the loop with the candidate..
or say something to keep them engaged



Ok your turn.. 

Tell me what you do in the comments!

An update on our baby…


Our JobGhost baby, that is 😉

We’re getting very close to launch
Watch the video for more

Link to early access in the comments

And hey, while I have you here…
It’s Friday Feedback Day

If you owe a candidate feedback...
Give it before the weekend

Ghosting a candidate isn’t just rude..
It’s expensive

I hear the same story every week

Someone goes through 3–5 interviews…

Then weeks go by with silence


No update
No rejection
Zero closure


Most hiring managers and recruiters aren’t doing this on purpose

They’re busy


Hiring moves fast and things fall through the cracks

But the impact is real


Ghosting hurts your brand
It hurts your reputation
And eventually, your bottom line


Candidates talk
They post online
They remember


After hearing these stories over and over..
my team and I decided to do something about it


We built JobGhost

It connects directly to your email

Boom! Ghosting eliminated 100% of the time


DM me and I’ll show you how it works.

If you're hiring Account Executives selling into healthcare, this might be helpful..


I currently have several strong candidates in my pipeline


Some are actively exploring

Others are passive and open to the right opportunity

All have experience selling into complex healthcare environments 
and navigating long buying cycles


DM me if you have plans to expand your team this year
