In this episode, Alay and Renee discuss: 

Renee’s professional leap to creating her own law firm after discovering her love of family law. 
Growing the firm beyond the practice of law.
Creating a business that is greater than you and driven by passion. 
The intersection between personal and professional challenges in small businesses and firms.   

 
Key Takeaways: 

The scary part is the unknown, but the exciting part is watching it all unfold and grow and evolve. 
What matters is mindset and how you approach any opportunity (good or bad). 
Saying “no” creates space and opportunities for the things you want to say “yes” to. 
Take time to think and let ideas come to you. Be open to any of the ideas that are flowing.
