Chris F.N. Rose moved to Vegas on his 21st birthday and dealt casino games for a decade before going to law school and eventually opening his own firm.

He built a referral business aimed at consumers… but after realizing he couldn’t compete with the big players he had to scrap the model.

We covered:

→ Why he introduces himself as “Chris F.N. Rose”

→ How ten years dealing craps taught him more about reading people than law school could

→ The single phone call that triggered his pivot from B2C to B2B

→ Why declined intake leads are a leak in almost every firm’s operation

→ How he runs his entire business through AI tools

Chris, thank you for sitting down with us at the 2026 Fireproof Conference and sharing your story with our listeners!
