In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Scott Mason discuss:Separating our identities and the roles we play in life. Why many people go to law school…often without knowing what to expect. The relationships between ourselves, myths, and culture. Professional freedom and moving past feeling trapped.  Key Takeaways:What makes you happy is intimately related to who and what you are - it is directly aligned with knowing yourself. Myths are a projection of the stories we tell ourselves about our identities. When you understand your narrative, you can start to be the hero and begin to write the path you choose, not what others are choosing for you. Purpose plus values will lead to your vision of what is possible. Levened with an understanding of your non-negotiables, then you will be able to create your vision and create a plan to make it happen.  "If you're smart enough to be a lawyer, you're smart enough to figure out how to survive in this world one way or another. And you'll probably do better if you're being true to yourself." —  Scott MasonGet a free audio copy of Steve’s book “Legal Business Development Isn’t Rocket Science” here: https://fretzin.com/audiobookThank you to our Sponsors!Lawmatics: https://www.lawmatics.com/1-month-free/Get Staffed Up: https://getstaffedup.com/bethatlawyer/Get Visible: https://www.getvisible.com/ Episode References: The Lawyers Edge Podcast: https://thelawyersedge.com/podcast/ About Scott Mason: Scott Mason is the Myth Slayer, a transformational executive & leadership coach for unhappy lawyers looking to find professional freedom and live the life of their dreams.
