Stay in touch and sign up for Paco’s weekly email newsletter, The Nerdletter.  In this episode of Weird Finance, Paco talks to Grant Atkinson to delve into the multifaceted world of entrepreneurship and legal services for creative businesses. Grant candidly discusses the challenges of entrepreneurship, from financial struggles and risk management to the necessity of resilience and adaptability in changing economic conditions. Grant helps us get to the bottom of why so many small business owners think they need to register their business in Delaware business and the importance of proper trademarking.  Grant is the founder of Framework Law Group (@frameworklawgroup), a law firm dedicated to helping creative entrepreneurs navigate their business legal, including (1) registering their businesses, (2) protecting their brands, (3) getting their contracts together, and (4) navigating growth. Grant is a creative entrepreneur and launched his practice in 2014 to help demystify the legal process, and make the law more accessible to his creative peers. Grant is also the founder of ActionResponder, an AI legal tech platform for trademark attorneys, and co-founder of Village Roots, a creative retail shop and education space in Wrightwood. The theme music was written and performed by Andrew Parker, Jenna Parker, and Paco de Leon.
