Listen Later

Welcome to the 52nd episode of Take the Leap's second season. In this episode, "Building Community, Not Just a Business: Michael Jonas on Purpose-Driven Entrepreneurship," attorney, entrepreneur, and advocate Michael Jonas joins us to share his unfiltered journey through failing 9 bar exams, founding not one, but two values-driven law firms, running for office, and why building community and being your unapologetic self are the real keys to success. 

Some of our favorite takeaways include: 

  • Michael reflects on redefining failure, embracing his multifaceted interests, and learning that success often requires persistence, self-compassion, and doing business in non-traditional ways. 
  • We dove deep into the looming crisis for nonprofits amid funding shortages, urged collaboration, planning for sustainability, and better infrastructure to support vital community services. 
  • From creative law firm names to project-based pricing, Michael emphasized the importance of authenticity, accessibility, and challenging outdated industry norms.
