Whether or not you’ve considered opening your own firm – this is the podcast for you. Mike

Hook, lawyer, entrepreneur, and founder of Intrepid Law in Toronto, talks about the skills that

all lawyers should hone, regardless of entrepreneurial intentions. Hook talks about what

pushed him to start his own practice, and offers enlightening advice on how to tell whether

practicing in a big firm is for you or not. In addition to advising law students to make the most

of all challenges and opportunities presented to them throughout law school, Hook encourages

budding lawyers to believe in their own talents and skills. For those interested in taking a

professional risk, Hook speaks to the support of the legal community and trusting oneself, and

could make even the entirely risk-averse consider taking an entrepreneurial leap of faith.
