On today’s episode I get to chat with another amazing multi-passionate attorney, Arinze Onugha. Arinze is a practicing attorney, entrepreneur, restaurateur and real estate investor (holy busy Batman!). In his free time he’s a loving dad and nurtures his artistic side as a hip hop artist. Arinze shares his journey within and outside of the law, ways he kept on track through it all, and how he stays centered while juggling his many passions. If you ever had doubts on whether pursuing the law would hold you back from your passion listen up and have no fear!

 

What you’ll learn:

  • Why Arinze chose to leave BigLaw
  • How Arinze set benchmarks to achieve his goals
  • Why Arinze chose restaurants as his “side hustle”
  • Why Arinze remains in the law
  • Tools to making big decisions
  • Prioritizing based on the season of your life
  • How Arinze stays centered
  • The power of your mentality and your level of gratitude

 

Best Advice for Finding Happiness

“The difference is the lawyers who are happy are the lawyers that take control of their lives”

 

“Take control of your life and really think about what is going to make you happy.”

 

“Take a moment and ask yourself, what would make me happier and do not let any partner or any career track push you into unhappiness. Take control of it seize it and fight for it because the only person who is going to know if you are happy or not is you.”
