The Driven Crowd
by Snellings Law
As a personal injury trial lawyer over the last 18 years, I have met, helped, and worked with a lot of very driven people. From clients to other attorneys, vendors, healthcare providers, and people all across the business and personal spectrum, there are a lot of driven people out there. Even so, they each have unique passions, hobbies, and eccentricities. You can’t necessarily tell from their personalities, their careers, or their background who the driven people will be in any given room. However, one thing I have noticed is that no matter where their passions lie, driven people tend to surround themselves with other driven people. Each episode, we sit down and talk with a different driven individual and try to break down what drives them, how they use that passion to overcome setbacks and failures, as well as dive into their secrets to success. If you want to learn from other driven individuals, then tune in here and join, The Driven Crowd.

For this episode of The Driven Crowd, Scott sits down with Marco Brown, founder and owner of Brown Family Law in Utah. They discuss Marco’s childhood in Alaska, starting Brown Family Law, creating systems, avoiding burnout, and more. Marco grew up in a small village in Alaska called Cold Bay (population 85).

In 2010, Marco and his wife, Demaree, moved to Utah. Marco started Brown Family Law, with no clients and no network, on the floor of their condo. They were $160,000 in student loan debt at the time. Since then, Marco has been awarded Utah Family Law Attorney of the Year, voted by his peers in the Utah Bar Association. Brown Family Law has grown and helped over 4000 clients through divorce and family law situations in Utah. It is expanding beyond Utah to help people in other states. In his free time, Marco spends most of his time with his wife and three kids. He loves to cook and travel—usually to Italy.

ABOUT THIS SHOW
As a personal injury trial lawyer over the last 18 years, I have met, helped, and worked with a lot of very driven people. From clients to other attorneys, vendors, healthcare providers, and people all across the business and personal spectrum, there are a lot of driven people out there. Even so, they each have unique passions, hobbies, and eccentricities. You can’t necessarily tell from their personalities, their careers, or their background who the driven people will be in any given room. However, one thing I have noticed is that no matter where their passions lie, driven people tend to surround themselves with other driven people. Each episode, we sit down and talk with a different driven individual and try to break down what drives them, how they use that passion to overcome setbacks and failures, as well as dive into their secrets to success. If you want to learn from other driven individuals, then tune in here and join, The Driven Crowd.
