Are you on a journey of success and need some helpful tips? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson chats with Marc Brown, a former big law insurance defense attorney who shares his inspiring journey to founding a successful personal injury firm and co-owning a restaurant. The conversation explores his career pivots, marketing strategies and the challenges of competing with national firms.

Marc shares his experience in pivoting in his career and what success means when starting a new path. Because he was unhappy with his career as a lawyer, he decided to leave to become an entrepreneur and found a new path of happiness. Success can come in many ways and for Marc, it was knowing he achieved his goal of being a lawyer but deciding on a new goal and pursuing it. It is completely fine to want to change your direction in life and if you decide to do so, put as much good energy out there to ensure it comes back to you when you are working on something new.

Marc and Tyson discuss personal brands and the need to stay true to yours. It is important to understand your own DNA and what you represent. Once you determine this, make it your personal brand. Learn your capabilities, what makes you happy and what you can offer people. That way, people are getting to know you for you and not only for what you offer. Being true to yourself will always lead to success!
