I am so excited to be interviewing my friend, Brandon Beck. You might be wondering why I am interviewing someone who isn’t necessarily a small business owner or entrepreneur. But Brandon has an incredible story and has accelerated his career as an attorney to the highest stage possible, the Supreme Court.

He shares his experience of working in federal criminal defense and his journey to arguing a case at the Supreme Court. He has an incredible story of determination, hard work and perseverance. He shows us that believing in ourselves and advocating for what we can do can truly pay off!

What you’ll find in this episode:

  • How Elizabeth and Brandon met each other in law school
