Patrick Patino: Panic Attacks, Pottery Class, and Practicing Law On His Own Terms

Patrick Patino spent over a decade building a bankruptcy practice that looked, from the outside, like a success story. From the inside, it was panic attacks, ER visits, and a driver's license photo he didn't recognize.In this episode, Patrick traces the path from a poetry degree to bankruptcy law, the health crisis that forced him to rebuild his practice around boundaries instead of hustle, and how The Newfangled Lawyer became less a brand and more a test: can you practice law as yourself and still make it work.We talk career origin stories, legal design theory, the boundaries that stuck, and what it means to decide you've built enough.Guest: Patrick Patino, bankruptcy attorney and founder of The Newfangled Lawyer.Connect with Patrick: Website: https://newfangled.legal/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/patrickpatino/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thenewfangledlawyer/We'd love to hear from you through Fan Mail!Host Info: Ariella Cohen ColemanThe Wellness Esquire: a bold new path where wellbeing, happiness, and authenticity drive performance and success. Ariella Law, PC: strategic legal support for entrepreneurs, growing companies, and mission-driven organizations — formation, contracts, compliance, and fractional general counsel, delivered project-based or by subscription. https://ariellaw.com/Follow Ariella:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ariellacoleman/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ariellacohencoleman/Website: https://ariellacohencoleman.com/Connect & Explore:Website: https://thewellnessesquire.comSubstack: https://thewellnessesquire.substack.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewellnessesquire/Support & SponsorsSuperhuman: email, faster.
