How important is having a co-founder in entrepreneurship?
What's going to make me money or what's going to make my family proud? And pretty far down the list was what actually do I think will I find fulfilling? So I ended up getting a pretty high score and that enabled me to go to probably one of the better universities in Australia to study economics and law. I never grew up thinking I wanted to be a lawyer. I never grew up feeling like I wanted to learn economics, but my score allowed it. So that's the school that I went to. I think the US is a bit different. Obviously, people have to make the case for why they want to do what they want to do. But still, I think a lot of people, they don't put a lot of thought into where they decide to spend their early career.
So I started working with lawyers during and post-degree. I ended up representing a whole bunch of not wonderful actors, defended mining companies that poisoned the environment. And I was told to work for the gun lobby at one point and some developers that swindled a whole bunch of money for people. I mean, it was not a great experience.
