Navigating Law School and Legal Career Choices

My guest today is Eric Pacifici, a founding partner at SMB Law Group. Eric has a background in BigLaw, having worked in M&A at some of the most prestigious firms in the country. He's also the only person I know who used an anonymous Twitter account to jumpstart the founding of a social media-driven law firm focused on small business buyouts. Eric is a passionate advocate for entrepreneurs and small businesses and our conversation covers his journey to a top law school, a life-altering health event involving his family, and why he chose to become an entrepreneur. Please enjoy my conversation with Eric.
