Interviewed Entertainment Lawyer/Bestselling Author/TEDx Speaker-Norman Bacal

It was a pleasure speaking with Norm Bacal tonight. We had a blast conversating about life. Norman Bacal has been one of Canada's most prominent entertainment lawyers. He has concluded a successful career leading and building an international law firm and sat on the board of a Hollywood studio for almost ten years. He knows lawyers, the inside of boardrooms, the tension, drama, and machinations that drive big business and their leaders. That's why he's been writing about them since 2015. His first book Breakdown, was a Globe and Mail and Amazon bestseller, telling the story of the rise and fall of iconic Heenan Blaikie, home to two Canadian prime ministers, a firm he helped to build. He will be following that up with Take Charge: The Skills That Build Professional Success, in February 2021: a primer on the soft skills that make all the difference to your career, that no one is teaching. Odell's Fall (October 2019) was his first fiction, a modern-day Othello set in Manhattan and the first in a series of Shakespeare modernizations. Love, jealousy, and treachery, add up to only one thing: murder. In early 2021 he will be publishing Ophelia, the second novel in the series, a modern-day Hamlet. Norman Bacal the bestselling author has done it in his career, from introverted student to one of the world's leading entertainment finance lawyers, to builder of a professional firm. He then took five years to boil down the steps of success into simple easy-to-read language. He also interviewed twenty other success stories, at various career stages, to show that there are simple hacks to developing the core skills that will make your career blossom.
