Meet Former Lawyer Annette Choti

In this episode, Annette shares about:
- Not loving her job as a lawyer and wanting something else, but no knowing what that was.
- Choosing to go to law school after going to grad school for theater and film because she didn’t think she could make a living otherwise.
- Why she willingly traded more money for better work-life balance.
- Feeling stifled in her role because there was no room for creativity or injecting personality.
- Stumbling upon blog writing for law firms as a possible alternative career after a friend suggested it to her.
- Falling in love with the world of digital marketing and SEO and getting to the point where she was essentially working a second job.
- Her husband, who saw that she wasn’t happy in what they called “beige world,” telling her that he thought she should jump.
- Why she isn’t naturally a risk-taker, and why entrepreneurship works for her anyway.
- How finding an alternative career was a process and not a single “aha!” moment.
- How law school sets us up to believe that our jobs can’t be easy and fun, and why she now finds her job both easy and fun.
