In today’s podcast episode Jim and Tyson discuss leaving a big law salary of 300k to go out on your own starting at zero with Ashley Kirkwood. After graduating top of her class at Northwestern Law and going to trial around the country for Fortune 100 corporations, Ashley left her mid-six-figure salary to be a full-time entrepreneur. Now, Ashley runs both a law firm and a
speaking business. Ashley has earned the nickname of “the lit lawyer” due to her fun DIY legal trainings such as Get The Tea On Trademarks and Clapback With Contracts. Through her law firm,
Mobile General Counsel, she helps entrepreneurs with critical elements of their business such as trademarks and contracts.
