Episode 1-Welcome to Not So Risky Business

[00:00:00] Mariam Tsaturyan: You are listening to Not So Risky Business podcast where we make legal easy for you by unlocking access to essential legal information, training and strategy for online businesses, coaches and entrepreneurs. I'm your host, Mariam Tsaturyan. Welcome.

[00:00:24] Mariam Tsaturyan: This is the first episode or the trailer of not so risky business podcast, as the name suggests. This show is all about making sure that your businesses are not at risk. After creating your business, seeing it grow for months and sometimes years, the last thing you want to do is worry about whether that step you took towards growing your business was legally compliant or not. You don't want to risk losing your business because of legal technicality.

[00:00:53] Mariam Tsaturyan: I've seen this happen many, many times, and my goal is to provide you and equip you with the tools, [00:01:00] strategies, and knowledge necessary to protect your business legally, to grow it and make sure that you are legally compliant. My name is Mariam Tsaturyan and I am a licensed and practicing attorney in the United States and the state of California.

[00:01:14] Mariam Tsaturyan: I practice intellectual property, limited to trademarks and copyrights as well as business law. Whatever the topics we cover during the episodes of this show will concentrate towards matters that will help you protect your business legally. For example, we'll cover topics on intellectual property, on contracts, agreements, disclosures, disclaimers ,hiring and firing taxes, selling and purchasing businesses, protecting your assets, business structures, and much more than this.

[00:01:47] Mariam Tsaturyan: You are welcome to submit your own topics if you want me to cover a specific topic during the following episode series. So make sure to get in touch with me and submit your preference for the [00:02:00] topic at hand. Now, I have to be honest here, legal on its own can be very boring and very dry.

[00:02:06] Mariam Tsaturyan: If you're not somebody whose job is to actually understand the legal concepts and terminology regulations, you would never want to delve into the legal topics. I wouldn't but it's my job to do that. So I try to understand them, I try to analyze them. What's more, I really get pleasure out of being able to explain it to you and simple to understand matter so that you can listen to what I'm saying, understand it and apply it towards your business.

[00:02:36] Mariam Tsaturyan: My goal for every single episode is that after you listen to a particular episode, you walk away with more knowledge and skills than you had before you listened to that episode. A lot of these episodes will be actionable, meaning there will be tips and strategies, sometimes even trainings that you can listen to and actively apply to [00:03:00] your business and know that you've done something to legally protect your business at that point.

[00:03:06] Mariam Tsaturyan: I have started my entrepreneurial journey back in 2019 when I realized that there was a big shortage of legal advice, information out there for online businesses. Sure. We have a lot of business attorneys out there who give advice, who impart knowledge, who tell you what to do and what not to do to businesses out there. But this seems to be limited to traditional small businesses. Online business is something that is, to this day, something of a new concept for most attorneys, unless an attorney has themselves been part of this online entrepreneurial move, this world, a lot of the advice that they give will either be outdated or not relevant.

[00:03:50] Mariam Tsaturyan: That's not the case with me. I personally have a few online businesses that have been growing since 2019. So aside from me being an [00:04:00] attorney the advice that I give you will be heavily geared towards entrepreneurship, online businesses.

[00:04:06] Mariam Tsaturyan: My clientele consists of coaches, consultants, agencies, course creators, so you can be sure the knowledge that you learned, the advice that you get during this show will be incredibly relevant for your own business purposes. Now, I wouldn't be much of an attorney if I didn't do a legal disclaimer, of course.

[00:04:26] Mariam Tsaturyan: Even though I am a licensed attorney, I am not your attorney. So if you need legal advice for your particular business purposes, make sure to consult an attorney in your area. If you don't know anyone in your area that will be able to help you out, get in touch with me and I'll see what can I do for you.

[00:04:43] Mariam Tsaturyan: With that said, I want to remind you that I will be publishing new episodes for this podcast twice a week, Tuesdays on Thursdays.
