In this episode we share our first 'Outlaw Diaries', and Shayla sits down with Fiona McLay—a former litigation lawyer turned legal tech evangelist and author—for an honest conversation about what it really takes to change course.
Fiona shares how she moved from the traditional path of legal practice into something far more aligned with who she is today. They talk about the messy middle of reinvention, the fear and worries, and the quiet courage it takes to follow a different vision of success—even when the world expects you to stay in your lane.
