Manage episode 376811575 series 3490523
Rilee Harrison, lead attorney and head of marketing at Cain Law, sits down with Josey and Kate to share how he burned out during his first semester of law school. He also discusses how that experience with burnout affected his ability to pass the bar on the first try.
Rilee discusses how the entire law school process, from having to get a potentially irrelevant undergrad degree to taking the bar exam, is a recipe for burnout. While discussing his experiences, he shares how he developed healthier boundaries and study habits to prevent burnout from hitting him again while retaking the bar exam.
Despite the early obstacles, Rilee managed to persevere and find a career he loves. His story is a fantastic illustration of how burnout can be transformative in a positive way.
