Faren walks us through the move from a well-known Toronto firm to running her own shop. She explains why she refused to put her name on the door, how she engineered a “maximum billable hours” launch without burning out, and how rigid personal rules at a prior firm pushed her to design real flexibility. We also have some fun with what kids are watching on TV now and why that matters for working parents who are still building serious careers. The through-line is simple. There is a job in law for everyone. Do the work to find yours, then build the structure to support it. 


In this episode we chat about: 

  • networking. Start now. Relationships compound over years.
  • Your own clients = control, security, leverage.
  • A portable book protects you from firm politics.
  • Fulfilment drives consistency and better work, which grows referrals and revenue.
  • Flexibility supports fulfilment: control your calendar, design your week.
  • Delegate outside your zone of genius to stay on high-value work.
  • Align files with your values. Say no to the wrong matters.
