“The problem is, people can be very successful and then they get to my stage of my life and you look up and you say, “Is that all there is?””


On this week’s episode Maria talks with attorney, founder of Parris Law Firm and 16 year mayor of Lancastor, R. Rex Parris. They discuss what it’s like working with family, how social media impacts elections, a few of Rex’s favorite books and the unusual way he found an executive coach. 


Highlights

04:26 Childhood trauma

23:09 Social media’s impact on politics

29:53 The smartest person in the room


Guest R. Rex Parris (@mayorrrex.parris on Instagram) and his wife, Carrol, founded the Parris Law Firm in 1985. In that time Rex has obtained dozens of seven-, eight- and nine-figure verdicts and settlements. He has also served as the mayor of Lancaster since 2008. During his initial terms as Mayor, Rex spearheaded the restoration of Lancaster, resulting in an 84% reduction in gang violence and a 37% decrease in serious crime. Lancaster also became the first city in the world to achieve "net zero" status.
