Marco is a University of Nebraska College of Law graduate and currently works as the Owner of Brown Family Law. This episode with Marco is full of amazing insights, and a ton of philosophical wisdom about work, life, and the Law!
Marco and I start years before arriving at Law School. He would start at the University of Anchorage Alaska, and then head off to BYU, first majoring in Physics, then deciding to change to a psychology major, following in his grandmother’s footsteps. With a degree in psychology, Marco would take 2 years would serve a mission for his church in Italy, as well as work with intellectually impaired individuals. Being too combative to be a psychologist, he decided Law School would be the next step in his journey.
Marco and I would speak about his first year in Law School in which he described it as Learning to read Chinese, while writing a manual, in Chinese. He handled it gracefully with a firehouse of information and loved it immensely. We then went into the various internships and clerkships he had. Marco would key in on the fact that he wanted to be a criminal defense attorney but was not great at it, allowing him to narrow it down from his options. He suggests that Law Students try a wide range of experiences, and get good at what they enjoy.
On top of going through his journey of Law School, Marco would give some of his critiques of Law School. We then moved to Marco hanging his shingle, opening up Brown Law LLC. Marco would describe the first years as walking blind through hell. Marco would describe the story of how he got into divorce law and spoke about the importance of reinventing yourself and solving those big problems, that lead to the solutions of 100s of small problems, or what he calls, an apex problem.
Finally, Marco and I spoke about his love for Kafka, as well as his love for Pizza, one of the reasons why we know god loves us. This episode with Marco is just dripping with wisdom from beginning to end, you don’t want to miss this one!
