Dear @KimKardashian, keep going.
Cry this week, we all did, then next week pick your bad ass self up, and keep showing up.
If it’s helpful, I have an episode on failing the California Bar.
🎧 Empowering First Generation Students and Professionals
@Spotify I appealed a take down of my episode. I am trying to get in touch with someone because I have a perpetual license for the song. Please advise. Thank you.
The old Bodega in San Francisco before it became the original Philz. Good memories here. I remember helping my dad when I was 8, standing on top of milk crates, ringing people up at the register. I may or may not have sold some bottles…
At your funeral, friends and family will argue over who gets your belongings.
People will talk about the food and the venue.
Your life will be summarized in 2-3 paragraphs.
Conversations will shift from your life to their lives.
Your friends will drive away thinking about what’s next on their to-do list.
Some people won't be able to make it because "something came up."
And most of the people you know today won’t even be there.
You’re gonna die.
People will move on (in weeks not years).
Do what you want.
When my dad and I started Philz, we didn’t open our second store until nearly 5 years after founding. It takes time to set the foundation. The beauty of brick & mortar is you learn in real time and can iterate in the moment.
California Bar Results weekend always hits deeply.
If you didn’t pass, you’re going to be okay. You’re not alone. Mourn, find a bit of joy, then rise and try again.
To my fellow first-gen law students: we see you, we’re here for you.
Fall 7 times, get up 8. Keep going.
