As I was reading The History of the Future by Blake J. Harris, I found myself reflecting on our own journey into the world of legal tech. While Harris chronicles the rise of virtual reality - particularly how Oculus catalyzed a technological revolution - I couldn’t help but draw parallels to the evolution we’re witnessing in the legal industry. Just as Oculus reimagined how we engage with digital worlds, numerous innovative legal tech platforms are striving to redefine how we interact with legal systems. We already know the long, often rigid, history of the legal world. Many of us still operate within that history, even though we’re aware of the limitations and pain points it imposes. And yet, change continues...
Oftentimes we are seeking outside sources that would enhance our lives. Little do we know that all it is needed is inside ourselves. One cannot manage the other or the world, unless he learns how to self-manage. Because trying to change the world outside us would only expose us to a chain of unmanageable accidents, which we don't want. Again, because the only way for something we want to happen is to focus our energy over ourselves and become the best manager there can be; of our own lives. Stephen R. Covey names, in his book, the 7 habits that would allow us to become the better version of ourselves every single day: Habit nr. 1: Be proactive Habit nr. 2: Begin with the end...
We’ve touched on this topic several times throughout our journey, yet I’m certain there’s still so much more to explore. It reminds me of a fascinating book I read some time ago: Blue Ocean Strategy. Its premise is simple but profound - it urges us to create entirely new markets rather than compete within existing ones. Companies like Apple, Google, and Amazon, in many ways, followed this path, which is precisely what set them apart. Creativity is an essential force - one with the power to transform our lives every single day. It fuels both our personal growth and the contributions we make to the world around us. Surely, we can agree on that much. And yet, a challenging question...
Every time I reflect on the word' purpose,' my mind drifts back to the earliest chapters of my life, when the world felt like a fairytale, brimming with endless possibility. That sense of wonder hasn’t left me, even though some of my oldest dreams have been shattered more than once. Still, I hold fast to this belief: a life without purpose is a life only half-lived. Purpose isn’t some distant ideal. It should greet us in the morning like an alarm clock, echo in the meals we choose, shape the way we move through our days, guide our travel, and, most critically, influence what we choose to do for a living. This is not a decision to be made lightly. Our...
In her groundbreaking book Who Can You Trust?, Rachel Botsman explores how trust takes on many shapes and forms in today’s world. I found her work not only unique but also a powerful validation of the timeless saying: “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” Through hundreds of interviews, Botsman discovered that the meaning of trust varies greatly from person to person - often in surprising ways. What becomes clear is that trust is not static; it is fluid, evolving, and deeply contextual. In fact, trust may be one of the most transformative forces shaping our modern world. Without it, there would be no relationships, no institutions, no progress - and certainly no innovation. And what drives today’s growth and...
