Tristian Shannon took an unexpected route to the legal profession, trading the world of real estate for the courtroom. He joins us to discuss that journey, revealing the challenges that propelled him toward law and the entrepreneurial spirit that led him to build his own firm. Beyond the traditional legal landscape, Tristian is a proponent of modern connection, explaining how social media can humanize lawyers and build trust with clients in a way that outdated models often miss. He also touches on the importance of carving your own path with a law degree, the pressures of the bar exam, and the critical need to prioritize mental well-being, as well as the essential support and mentorship for women navigating the legal field.
