LayRoots Out of Office Messages


August 2017
Colin and I are currently in Jackson, WY, attempting to summit the Grand Teton.  If you have spoken to us over the last year, then you probably know that we have been training for this trip for the last year or so. I jokingly say that we are testing the limits of our relationship because you really have to trust each other when climbing up a 1,500 foot face together...and camping in the back country.  Be prepared for stories upon our return.  


We're only going to be gone a week so if you need to talk to me, please consider scheduling some time with me using this calendar: https://www.layroots.com/schedule or by calling our office number: 206-219-9559


Alternatively, you can leave me a detailed email message and I will get back to you once I'm off the mountain.


If this is an emergency, consider asking for Dr. Ron.  He's very nice.

Some of you may not know this, but LayRoots was born on a surf trip five years ago.  Colin and I were camping and surfing on the Washington State coast.  Shreya was unhappy at her corporate job.  Colin was working for a number of national firms and feeling the grind.  Sitting around the campfire, looking at the stars, we dreamt up a life where we built the kind of company that we would enjoy working for...that was more...human.  


Fast forward five years and we have our growing business.  We recently realized we had been so busy supporting other people's lives and businesses (which we love) that we had been neglecting our own in some ways!


So, we are off to Mexico to surf and spend some uninterrupted time working ON the business and building out some of our content and systems.  


We hope that YOU will see the benefit of this time so thank you for being patient with us.  


We will have limited connectivity but it may take us a little longer to respond.  We don't want to get our keyboard sandy.  


We will be back soon, so please consider scheduling some time with me using this calendar: 15 Minute Appointment


OR our receptionist will help you to schedule if you call our office number: 206-219-9559



Alternatively, you can leave me a detailed email message and I will get back to you when I can.

Some of you know this already, but the Lawyer-Human Show is going on the road!  We will be working for the next 5 weeks from Cambodia --> Thailand --> Vietnam.  Feel free to follow along on our journey on Instagram (@lawyerhuman).  


Don't worry - we still got you.  We are working - we are just working really odd hours.  We will be available by email and limited to appointment-only for phone meetings (and it will be Zoom-based).  Thank you for understanding! 


The phone appts will generally occur between 5-7pm Seattle-time.


Email me with an appt request and I will get back to you as soon as I get it. Alternatively, you can leave me a detailed email message and I will get back to you when I can.


Hey there! We <3 you.  Our replies are delayed a bit for the next 5 weeks because we are working remotely from SE Asia.  So, 1) that explains the 3am emails/delayed response; 2) our phone availability is by appointment only.  Thanks for sticking with us and being patient!


October 2019
Some of you know this already, but the Lawyer-Human Show is going on the road again! We are fulfilling two dreams: 1) of having a business that we can periodically take with us (so, no, it's not a burden to be working during our travels - we're quite grateful for the opportunity); and 2) Colin's dream of exploring Peru before he turns the big 4-0.  


So, we will be vacationing and working for 3 weeks from Peru and then we are speaking at a national conference in San Diego. Feel free to follow along on our journey on Instagram (@lawyerhuman and @shreyley) or on our podcast "The Lawyer-Human Show."  


Don't worry - we still got you, but we WILL be making time for ourselves to explore too. So, we won't be available ALL the time. For example, when we are trekking through the Andes, we will not have any availability.  We will get back to you as soon as we can, though. You are important to us and we thank you for understanding! 


Email me with an appointment request and some deets, and I will get back to you as soon as I get it. 

















July 2021
We are at snowboard camp on vacation July 5-11. 


We will be checking emails, but our responses will likely be delayed.
