On today’s show I have the amazing opportunity to chat with Marco Brown, managing partner of his own firm Brown Law and one of the top recognized divorce lawyers in the US. Like many of us, Marco struggled in the law during his first few years and lost motivation and joy.

Enjoy!

  • Marco’s journey in the law
  • Things to expect when starting out as a solo practitioner
  • How to find your law niche
  • How to discover your Apex habits
