David Cowen sits down with Carl to trace the evolution of legal ops from his first CLOC at the Bellagio a decade ago to today's McCormick Place, and to unpack the central question of this moment: are we using AI as a tool, or are we becoming enslaved to it? Key Topics Covered: The CLOC origin story: Building the first legal ops function in Las Vegas gaming and hospitality The CLOC 101 Academy: Why the entry-level program now serves over 150 attendees Slavery vs. freedom: Carl's framing of the choice every legal team faces with AI Personal agency as the answer: Why the automation question is fundamentally about who you want to be The Claude conversation: Why model preference shifts month to month and why the relationship matters more than the tool Fearlessness as career strategy: Why curiosity matters more than credentials 🎧 Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.
