When it comes to law firm development, career advancement, brand marketing, and leadership, lawyers are not often the first to jump on the newest trend or opportunity. Many feel as though they have to do things the way it’s always been done. However, being a great lawyer is not dependent on legal industry traditions.

The truth is, you can create a path through the legal field and pursue opportunities when you want and how you want — regardless of what’s been done in the past.

Elise also talks about what inspired her to start the podcast, the amazing guests she’s had on, and the guests’ practical tips for growing as a lawyer and leader.
