E145: Jimmy Lai Chief Executive Officer at Lai & Turner Law Firm

Jimmy is a University of Oklahoma School of Law graduate and currently works as the Chief Executive Officer at the Lai & Turner Law Firm. Jimmy’s journey is filled with success, tough decisions, and overcoming massive challenges. Jimmy and I started before Law School, where, growing up in Taiwan, along with Japan, Germany, England, and the US, he saw his mom go through litigation at a young age, running a business, and wanted to do something to help. He decided becoming a lawyer was the best possible route. We spoke about Jimmy’s reinterest back into going to Law School, how he got to the University of Oklahoma School of Law, and his first year experience. Following this, Jimmy spoke about his Law School legal experiences, making valuable relationships, albeit few, throughout Law School, and how in all of life, the ability to sell is a skill we all must learn and master! Jimmy leads us up to starting his firm, and what he does today at the Lai & Turner Law Firm. From getting acclimated to the learning curve of being a first-time business owner to scaling and reaching new goals. Finally, we spoke about Jimmy’s newfound emergence in the LinkedIn game, gaining over 3.1 million post views in the last year, and starting his school community, Unforgettable Professionals. Jimmy’s story is one you don’t want to forget, and as his story is written with time, Jimmy is one to watch not only now, but in the coming years!
