In this episode of Podcast Gurus, we sit down with Robert Hanna, founder of KC Partners and host of the Legally Speaking Podcast, the UK’s #1 legal careers show and a top 1% ranked podcast worldwide. Since launching in 2019 with just a microphone, Rob has built the podcast into a global media brand sponsored by Clio, a $3.5 billion legal tech company.

Rob shares his journey from legal recruiter to media entrepreneur, and why podcasting has become his most effective tool for building relationships, creating business opportunities, and establishing long-term authority. He reflects on how the show went from a client networking experiment to a recognized legal media platform, why leading with value is the key to landing high-profile guests, and how sponsorships and partnerships transformed the show into a business asset.

Whether you’re in professional services, B2B sales, or building your own podcast, Rob’s story offers powerful lessons on strategy, community building, and turning content into a legacy-driven brand.
