From Wall Street to Small Claims Court: A Conversation with Bill McInerney

Bill McInerney built his career the hard way at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, leading by example, earning loyalty, and doing whatever it took to get the deal done. Sometimes that meant sleeping on the office couch. Then, after nearly four decades riding the waves of New York real estate, he walked away at 65 — burned out and thinking he might simply "do nothing." But that's not what happened. In this episode, Bill shares what it really takes to build a practice — and what he discovered when he finally stepped away.
