Welcome to episode 337 of Grow Your Law Firm, hosted by Ken Hardison. In this episode, Ken sits down with Dana Brooks of Fasig | Brooks, a successful plaintiff's law firm with offices in Tallahassee and Pensacola, Florida. Dana shares how personal changes, professional growth, and a desire to return closer to family led her to rethink where she needed to focus her time, energy, and leadership.

The conversation focuses on the difficult question many business owners and professionals eventually face: when is it time to leave, shift roles, or move into a new chapter? Dana explains how fear, ego, loyalty, and identity can keep people in situations that no longer fit. She also discusses the importance of leaving with intention, having direct conversations, and creating an "elegant exit" instead of reacting from burnout or frustration.
