We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful A.J. Bingham. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with A.J. below.
A.J., thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. We love asking folks what they would do differently if they were starting today – how they would speed up the process, etc. We’d love to hear how you would set everything up if you were to start from step 1 today
If I was starting over again with founding The Bingham Group, LLC there’s not anything I would change. A good portion of where we are today is from lessons learned in the peaks and valleys of entrepreneurship.
I think we could have gotten where we are today faster (potentially) if we had a parter/COO with complimentary skills to mine.
A.J., before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
The Bingham Group, LLC is a Austin lobbying firm serving businesses, nonprofits and trade associations.
Austin and Austin Metro lobbying and advocacy, along with Texas lobbying and advocacy are our largest service areas, covering Central Texas municipal governments, and the legislative and executive branches of Texas government.
We are HUB/MBE-certified.
Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?
So I launched The Bingham Group, LLC just over 5 years ago with just me, no brand, no client roster, and a small cash runway. The past 5 years (including the 2020 pandemic) to present are a testament to the firm’s and my resilience. We now have a team of 5 with over a dozen clients
Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?
When I decided to fully pursue a career in lobbying and not the law.
