Spouses Leave the Law to Build a Marketing Agency for Lawyers with Tyler & April Roberts

In Episode 034 of The Former Lawyer Podcast, I’m sharing my conversation with Tyler and April Roberts. Tyler, a former lawyer, and his wife April, who has a background in marketing, co-founded NOMOS Marketing, a marketing agency for lawyers. In this conversation, Tyler & April share about: What it’s like to be the spouse of a law student; How April found out that Tyler had passed the bar before he did; Why even before Tyler started law school, they didn’t plan on him practicing law forever; How a personal tragedy set Tyler on the path to law school out of a desire to help others; How they switched their thinking about paying off Tyler’s law school loans; How the idea for their business grew organically from the jobs they were already doing (lawyering and marketing); What it’s like to work full-time with your spouse; How your background as a lawyer can both help you and hold you back; How working for an entrepreneur with a legal background helped Tyler see how his law degree could be used in innovative ways; How to communicate with your non-lawyer spouse about why you’re unhappy as a lawyer; How they help lawyers differentiate themselves; Their best advice for lawyers who don’t love their jobs; and much more!  Show Notes: The doors to the Former Lawyer Collaborative are open through April 1st! The Collaborative is my support community for high-achieving woman in legal practice who are interested in exploring other career options.
