"As a CEO, I might navigate a merger or IPO only once or twice, but as a corporate lawyer, I'd be dealing with them constantly. It seemed to me there were more exciting corporate transactions in a few years of corporate law than there were in two lifetimes of being a CEO."
"I wanted to reach more people, have more impact, and generate more revenue. So, in 2005, I launched an automated course. The course started generating thousands of dollars a month, without me investing much time or money."
"Once, when I had a month of my law job, I really focused on promoting the course, and it generated $10,000 in a month more than I was making in my corporate role."
"As I considered my options, I realized that other people and companies were already approaching me about helping them create a platform to support their own educational courses."
Interest in corporate law stemmed from the frequent involvement in major business decisions.
