About You Are A Lawyer: Take Risks and Change Careers in Law
You Are A Lawyer is a career podcast for lawyers, law students, and law school graduates exploring alternative legal careers, career changes, entrepreneurship, side hustles, and all the unexpected ways to use a law degree. Hosted by Kyla Denanyoh, You Are A Lawyer features candid conversations with attorneys and law school graduates who have taken risks, changed careers, started businesses, survived the bar exam, pursued creative interests, and built lives that don't fit the traditional lawyer mold. Some guests still practice law. Others have taken their JDs into technology, investing, education, media, coaching, entrepreneurship, and careers they never imagined when they started law school. If you've ever wondered: What else can I do with a law degree? You're in the right place. Whether you're considering leaving the law, searching for JD-advantage careers, building a business or side hustle, questioning your career path, or simply curious about what other lawyers are doing with their lives, You Are A Lawyer gives you real examples of what's possible. Because your law degree doesn't have to determine your job title. There are countless ways to use a law degree and no single definition of a successful legal career. If you've graduated from law school, you are a lawyer. Find new episodes, career resources, and the Career Possibility Directory at YouAreALawyer.com.
