Juliet is an Arizona State University College of Law graduate and currently works as the Founding Partner of Framework Legal. Juliet’s journey is as unique as they get, from journalist to Lawyer, this episode takes a deep dive into how she got to where she is today.
Juliet and I started a decade before law school, where she graduated from Marquette University with a bachelor’s degree in journalism. As a kid, Juliet always wanted to be a lawyer but her love for journalism would put that dream on pause. For the next decade Juliet would be a newscaster and journalist all over the country, working in Ohio, Corpus Christi Texas, and finally landing in Milwaukee. But Juliet would re-spark that childhood dream of hers, and land herself at Arizona State University College of Law.
We would dive into Juliet’s first year of law school, which she both loved and hated. She loved the learning aspect and getting acclimated with the Law, but highly disliked the pressure and stressful nature of one exam determining her grade for the semester. Her experience in Journalism allowed her to digest large swaths of information all at once, and be able to get through cases quickly.
We then moved on to Juliet's post-law school jobs, two in particular we looked into were her time at Cold Stone Creamery, and as the Division chief at the Child and Family Division for Arizona. Cold Stone would be fun and chaotic, and supply her with the business chops she needed later in her career. As the division chief, she would lead the newly founded project, making a wholesale change and clean up to the department, further giving her skills that would become necessary when she finally hung her own shingle as the Founding Partner Framework legal.
We then dove into her decade at Framework Legal, speaking about how to ask the correct questions to entrepreneurs, her experience as an entrepreneur, and the psychology behind it. On top of this, Juliet and I would speak about her psychological reinvention over the years, not being afraid of change, and never pigeonholing ourselves in lockstep with the rest of society.
Juliet’s long experience in the field and wide range of experiences serve for an episode full of wisdom and actionable insights!
