Your life after leaving the Firm (w/ Amy Grubb)

She was working late on Christmas Eve. Feeling the pressure of getting a deal done while her kids were asking for her. A painful moment many Lawyers experience.
But for Amy Grubb, it was the final straw.
She didn’t know what was next but she knew it was something different.
And it was something big.
In the conversations that followed with her community, Amy described her goals and what she believed was her purpose. And it was that community she created that rallied around her as she built multiple businesses.
Now as an Account Executive at Affinity and Lawyerist, Amy helps Law Firm owners grow their businesses.
With reflectiveness and contentment, Amy shares her journey from leaving BigLaw, to building small businesses and becoming as a renowned advisor to Law Firms across North America.
And she shares how you can intentionally design your career too, if you build your community first.
