Dennis Meador
CEO & Founder
With a background tailored for this, Dennis is eager to be a part of bringing turnkey podcasting to professionals all over the US. Having worked in marketing with attorneys for over 20 years, he knew they were the profession he wanted to help first. Growing up all over as an Air Force brat, his family finally settled in Iowa for most of his childhood and teen years. He went on to Ohio for College and then moved his young family to Tulsa, OK, spent a few years there and it’s been Austin, TX pretty much ever since. Starting at a young age he has always had an acumen for business; from directing the snow shovel team at 14 (He sold em, the team shoveled and they split the money) to 30 years later launching an exciting marketing platform, and lets not forget plenty of exciting entrepreneurial experiences along the way, including growing 3 companies from less than a million revenue per year to revenues of $3-5+ million in 1-3 years. He also had a successful podcast in 2019 about food, music, and life in Austin, TX so he has experienced both sides – working with attorneys and creating quality engaging podcasts, now he brings these two passions together. “I am excited to help attorneys engage more clients and establish themselves as the authority for their case types for their community. “- Dennis When not working, he enjoys spending time with his fiancé or chatting with one of his 3 grown kids – Jo-23, Kai-21 or Isabella-18. Oh and of course, BBQing with his smoker on the weekends.

Ben Buono got his start in the sales world at Web.com, where he eventually would meet Dennis Meador, The Legal Podcast Network’s founder. After Web, Ben took on more sales jobs until eventually landing in the Solar Industry. In the span of 1 year, he went from appointment setter to sales leader to district manager until eventually being asked to be the Vice President of a solar startup. This would become a monumental achievement that would lead to him eventually starting his own web design business, Velvet Letters Web Design, where he ended up finding legal representation because of a podcast he was on. Turned out to be The Legal Podcast Network and Ben contacted Dennis to officially join his team as a Show Coordinator in hopes to help attorneys reach others like him who need representation but don’t even know where to begin.
