Bob Clark and his partner Alan Steinhorn of Clark & Steinhorn are finally retiring after almost 46 years, and we sat down to talk about what actually built their practice… and what happens next.

In this episode of Tom's World of Marketing, we sit down to reflect on what actually built his practice and what happens to a firm when its founders step away.
Here's the part every business owner should hear: Bob never paid a dime for ads. No PPC, no SEO, no AdWords. Instead, he built one of the most respected personal injury and malpractice firms in his community the durable way: caring deeply about clients, earning referrals, writing nearly all his own content, and recording 125+ podcast episodes over the last decade. The result is a body of work that keeps bringing the right people to his door.

What we cover:
●    Why the firm never spent a dime on PPC or SEO agencies, and thrived anyway
●    Why consistent content, reviews, podcasts, and video now matter even more in the age of AI
●    How to value the intellectual property built over 17+ years of writing and podcasting
●    Whether to sell the practice, and how a "cult of personality" firm transfers when clients come specifically for you
●    The playbook for a smooth transition
It's a heartfelt, practical episode about legacy, loyalty, and the real long-term payoff of doing the work.
