About this episode

This episode features a conversation about unexpected career pivots and building scalable systems in the context of bankruptcy law and AI.

What happens when the lawyer who once swore she would never step into a courtroom ends up building a thriving bankruptcy firm and becoming an early adopter of AI? In this episode of The Founding Partner Podcast , Jonathan Hawkins sits down with Lorena Saedi to talk about unexpected career pivots, building systems that scale, and why bankruptcy lawyers may be the first to see economic shifts before anyone else. This conversation explores technology, entrepreneurship, client relationships, and one powerful idea that every founder eventually faces, building a business that works for your life instead of becoming your life.
