Hey friend!
On this weeks episode of You Are A Lawyer, Lem Garcia shares how he went from having zero clients and a tiny 450-square-foot office to leading a thriving personal injury firm with 20+ team members in LA. And get this, he launched the firm the same year he got married and had his first child. (Talk about going all in!)
Lem gets real about taking risks before the golden handcuffs of a “good job” settle in, why betting on yourself now matters, and how being a business owner is equal parts freedom and responsibility.
Plus, you'll hear how working with his lawyer-wife makes his business stronger, and why he believes the secret to success is believing in yourself first, then backing that up with action.
If you've ever asked, “Could I really do my own thing?” this episode is your reminder that yes, yes you can.
In Case You Missed It!
In last week's episode with Sarah Cottrell of the Former Lawyer Podcast, we got real about prestige, people-pleasing, and permission. If you've ever felt that leaving the law means giving up your identiy, this is the episode you need.
Sneak Peek: Next Episode!
Next episode, we're talking to Margeaux Thomas, a litigator turned business divorce expert. That's right, she helps small businesses “break up” when partnerships go south. If you've ever wondered how lawyers can carve out unique niches, this one is packed with inspiration and strategy.
If this week's episode resonates with you, share it with a friend or colleague who's ready to take their career (and life) to the next level.
