No matter what path you choose, if you don’t understand yourself first, you’re going to flounder. You’ll be hindered in knowing where you’re going, how to get there, and who to invite along. You may find yourself tempted by opportunities but struggling to make them successful.
To get some further insight into this, I (Kyle) interviewed Hamish Cohen, a Founder and General Counsel at Proteus Discovery Group, as well as a Founding Partner at Mattingly Burke Cohen & Biederman, LLP (MBCB). Hamish and I discussed his bold choice to leave a large, flourishing law firm to build two startups, and some of the lessons he’s learned along the way.
“If you don’t know who you are, you’re not going to be in good relationship with anybody else… It starts with self-analysis.” -- Hamish Cohen
