Small people talk about small things. Big people talk about big things. That’s important to remember when you are deciding what kind of person you want to be. Christina’s guest today is Christine Matus, an attorney in Toms River, New Jersey, who practices estate planning, guardianship actions, real estate, special needs planning, and special education law. Though she originally planned on following the family DNA and practicing medicine, her destiny took her elsewhere.   Christine shares her experience studying economics at Rutgers University (Douglass College), her early experience in sales in a male dominated industry (and being the top sales "man"), and how she found her true path practicing law.
