Oh, uh, it's funny. Cause I think that the two things that first, uh, came to mind are probably not very profound or helpful to, uh, a broader audience, but I will share them nonetheless, just because they're the first thing that came to mind and you took me by surprise with the topic. But I think maybe there's a broader lesson that can be pulled out of them.

So the first was when I was in law school and I was looking for work after law school. And I'm a first generation lawyer in my family. And I didn't really even know what a law firm was. When I went to law school, I kind of knew I was doing healthcare transactions and didn't really know the venues to do that.

When I went to law school, I kind of knew I was doing healthcare transactions and didn't really know the venues to do that.

And there was a particular professor that had a pretty defined view of what a big firm lawyer looked like. And he told me that he did not think that I was big law firm material and that maybe I should seek a job in government, which is obviously a great place to work also and has a lot of opportunities.

He judged me based on his perception of what he felt big law was and what government was and what he thought I was capable of or fit for. And it was a surprise to me that he would have made that pronouncement. And he apparently was wrong because I'm pretty, pretty far in on big law and have done relatively well for myself. And I think

Maybe the lesson from that is don't let others project onto you their impressions and go with your own gut and make your own decisions and freely try to decide the advice of people.

Sure. I don't think the advice was meant in a good way. And I was taken aback and it was fuel for the fire. In hindsight, I think the advice was given based on this person's perception of what a really good big law junior associate looked like. And I don't know that that was necessarily me. And I did do relatively well as a junior associate.

I think he perceived that I was not someone who would kind of quickly fall in line, put my head down and just do exactly what I was told. And he, there was a certain kind of group of associates or of law students that this particular person would tend to support more. And they tended to be people who are much kind of quieter and fall in line.
