"It was just like this angst that I identified with arising out of that. It's like this, I can't do this forever," he says. "I found myself wanting to just get in the car and drive all day in a straight line away." But it's not as benign when you have a family at home who need your help, even if it was just for a night.

Aaron began to realize this truth as he found himself contemplating some pretty dark things if it just meant he didn’t have to go in to work. He had never identified with his career in construction management and felt extremely unfulfilled, but seeing as he worked for the family business… he felt completely trapped. Listen to Aaron share the chain of events that gave him the confidence to step away from the family business and go after his lifelong dream of being a lawyer.
