Why Being a Lawyer Was the Foundation for Business - Fishers on the Case - EP 14 Kirsty France
What happens when you trade the courtroom for the copy desk? In this episode of Fishers on the Case, CEO Amanda Payne sits down with Kirsty France, founder of Kirsty France Writes, to explore her fascinating transition from a 10-year career as a solicitor to becoming a professional copywriter and fiction author. Kirsty reveals how her legal background, specifically her time in personal injury and defendant litigation gave her a unique "Guide" authority, allowing her to translate complex technical jargon into compelling stories for businesses. We dive into the importance of networking, overcoming writer's block by "writing nonsense," and the mindset shift required to move from professional services to creative entrepreneurship.
