Do you think dropping out is a bad thing? Society puts such a negative label on it, right!? In this chat, Ryan explains why he’s owning “BigLaw Drop Out” and changing it into an empowering term of endearment and how dropping out of various things that weren’t aligned for him has led to successes.

Ryan is a former lawyer turned life coach and yoga teacher who shares in this chat how he’s navigated the changes that he’s made. He breaks it down in a really self reflective way that provides  helpful and empowering tips and advice for us all. We get into chats about unhealthy work patterns in law, the draw of the money, how to pursue a life that makes you feel lit up and much more! A common theme in this conversation, which I’m all about, kept coming back to the importance of knowing yourself and doing inner work.

A summary of what you can expect:-

  • Why and how Ryan became a lawyer;
  • The lure of money in the profession;
  • International dreams and working from Singapore;
  • Unhealthy demands in law – work creeping into holiday and family time;
  • Ryan’s process to leaving and working out what lights him up;
  • The story behind BigLaw Drop Out and why changing or ‘dropping out’ can be an empowering thing;
  • What living a life that’s ‘lit’ is;
  • The importance of real inner work + personal development; and
  • Much more!
