🎧 PODCAST - Lawyer to Calligrapher: My Story

I’ve never told my whole story in one episode… so here it is. How I ended up as a successful but unhappy lawyer. How I got out. And how I hit the calligraphy business “jackpot”.

Listen to hear:

  1. The REAL reason I decided to quit law (that I’ve never shared before)
  2. The humiliating thing I did as a third grader that held me back from becoming an entrepreneur
  3. How much luck was involved in my million-dollar business success

The main lesson? It’s POSSIBLE to live a more creative, unconventional, off the beaten path life. It’s risky and it’s hard and it requires growth and confronting all the things you criticize about yourself. But it’s so so beautiful.
