Hey folks!

I finished the Great Rat Race Escape by our own @MJ DeMarco a few weeks ago, and it immediately became my favorite business book! A little about myself: I am the managing attorney at a small law firm (business law) and currently looking into branching out into a new business. I enjoy what I do, but I'm not sure I want to keep up that grind for the next 30 years. I'm not here to self-promote, but if y'all are interested, I can repost some of my blog posts and articles that feature legal tips for businesses.

I hope to start getting more involved in the forum. I have been working on my Planasy but need to really commit to taking action.
