How does someone go from a Guamanian jail, to a successful legal practice in St. Louis, to living in the wilderness 3 hours north of Toronto writing some of Legal’s most eye-catching LinkedIn posts for a living?
Tony Albrecht’s lawyer life has been anything but typical.
He’s walked away from the Partnership track.
He was a digital nomad years before it was a thing.
He’s worked, and seen the inside of a prison, in Guam.
And each time he bet on himself, he got closer to uncovering his unique gift:
Telling the stories of Lawyers and Law Firms to grow their brands.
In his always contemplative and probing style, Tony walks us through how he’s made massive career changes, build skills he never thought were relevant to his career, and launch a rapidly growing creative agency, CONTENDER, that turns Lawyer voices into powerful business development tools on LinkedIn.
