A friend recently shared an article with me about the concept of “toxic positivity” - the idea that positivity, when taken to an extreme or misapplied, can become harmful or invalidating. As someone deeply fascinated by how the human mind works, I found it refreshing to explore a perspective that challenges mainstream self-help narratives. After all, who among us hasn’t, at some point, reached for that book - the one that promises to fix us, help us lose weight, become a better leader, or finally feel whole? One of the most impactful books I encountered during my time in startup management was Leading with Questions. The core premise is simple yet profound: asking the right question is half the answer. So,...
Some of you may wonder how do I come up with the topics I write about? I am pleased to share with you, my reader, that each and every word laid down on paper passed through me and I really hope that I can share pieces of my life experiences with you. If you are dreaming about going to Law School then I hope some of my own insight will be of help to you, and if you've been out of Law School for a while, then you will enjoy remembering some of your own experiences.

We all know how challenging law can be. Each and every one of us has been affected by its dealings in one way or another. It is easy to minimize or ignore the role in plays in our day - to - day lives, however, when the time comes we all want to know what is the next right thing to do.

The AI and specifically automation of some of the legal services gives us the impression that lawyers are becoming immaterial and the "do...
Being able to work remotely/worldwide has always seemed like a great idea. We've been watching many industries being able to accommodate a flexible lifestyle and people choosing to live/work and run their business from the most exotic parts of the world. The idea of running a virtual business has been out there for quite some time. I've seen writers, software engineers and even COOs running their businesses or doing their job from a remote location. For a moment I thought that a similar formula could be applied to law firms. Some states did a great job in terms of coming up with guidelines and regulations that would allow lawyers to run their practice from a remote location while being in...
Just a year ago, discussions around technology disrupting the legal industry felt like conversations between two generations—one envisioning a distant future where law and technology intersected more deeply. I recall attending an international legal tech conference where passionate professionals worldwide debated how technology, particularly open source and artificial intelligence, could improve legal practice. Back then, the future seemed far off. Fast forward just one year, and the landscape has transformed dramatically.
