#1 // Marianne Marchesi, Legalite // How shaking up the legal industry became the spark for this show

Welcome to the very first episode of Bold Ideas. I’m your host, Marianne Marchesi, and in this intro episode I share the story behind Bold Ideas and why it means so much to me. Several years ago, I took a leap that changed everything – leaving behind the safety of the traditional legal industry to launch Legalite. A people-centred, multi-award-winning law firm that thrives on bold ideas. In this episode, you’ll hear about the doubts, breakthroughs and life-changing lessons that came from taking one bold step – and what you can expect from this podcast.
