In this episode, Molly and James discuss the difficulties of transitioning from a legal career to a business-minded one. They touch on how lawyers may have the skills to win a case but may not have the skills to run a successful business. James also discusses the importance of taking time off to manage emotions and maintain physical health, as well as the importance of treating employees with respect. Lawyers may be strong-willed and right in the courtroom, they must treat their staff with respect and understanding in order to run a successful business.
