In this episode, Mary is joined by Alex Su, Head of Community Development at Ironclad. Alex is somewhat of a celebrity in the legal operations field; his TikTok account @legaltechbro has nearly 75,000 followers.

 

Alex talks about his success on social media, where he gets his ideas, and how he deals with trolls. He goes into detail about the advantages of TikTok versus LinkedIn and explains how the communities on each platform are different.

 

As a former lawyer, Alex’s career hasn’t gone the way he thought it would. He recounts his decision to go from law to legal operations in 2016. Then it was still a new field and he explains how his colleagues questioned his decision. He tells Mary about how he knew it would be a stable career because of talking to people, following trends, and not being afraid of failure.
