It was such a thrill to talk to John about his path and I am so grateful he took the time to speak with me. I love how his story is one about taking risks, thinking "outside the box," learning by doing, and being unafraid to try new things in the quest for excellence.
Just finished an incredible #HowILawyer interview with a decorated law professor about her path to the academy and how she has navigated it since. Won’t come out for a few weeks but I have to share four nuggets of wisdom from the convo that candidly apply to any lawyer’s path.
1. READ MORE. Obviously this is true for academic (although finding time is harder than I expected) but it’s true for any lawyer who wants to learn a practice area.
Find what others in the field read. Blogs. Foundational texts. Don’t just scroll. Dig deep into the conversation.

2. BE READY. I have talked about this before but sometimes when you are looking for an opportunity you can’t find it. But then at the least convenient moment an opportunity finds you. When it does. Grab it by the horns and run.
Law is a profession of passed down wisdom. But that wisdom is often siloed to a golden few. The internet offers an opportunity to share this knowledge asynchronously & at scale.
So in 2021 I interviewed 50 lawyers on the #HowILawyer podcast.
Here are 20 lessons I learned 🧵 👇

1. Career Paths Only Look Straight When You Look Backwards.
When you read LinkedIn bios top to bottom career trajectories can seem obvious. But the truth is that they are often unplanned, serendipitous, and the product of chance and risk taking.

2. Find Champions, Not Just Mentors.
A mentor helps you find your way. A champion helps you pave the way and get across the finish line.
Having a champion is a key to success. Being a champion is perhaps the greatest value you can add to our profession.

As with any curation project the bias of the curator plays a role. If you disagree with my choices, I won't be offended. I hope this will inspire you to create your own library. My main goal is for this advice not to disappear. I hope you will benefit from the site!
