Season 3: Episode 19 - Go Legal Yourself - Kelly Bagla
This week on the Legally Speaking Podcast, our host Rob Hanna is joined by Kelly Bagla.
Kelly is a legal entrepreneur who runs Bagla Law Firm in San Diego. Having achieved multiple degrees she worked for a Fortune 500 biotechnology company, managing 35 international subsidiaries. She then moved onto Baker McKenzie before starting her own highly successful firm.
She's also an accomplished author, having written a well-reviewed book on the legal knowledge business owners should have (its called Go Legal Yourself: Know The Legal Lifecycle Of Your Business, and it's of course available in all good bookstores!).
In this enlightening episode, the pair discuss:
- What made her leave her successful corporate law career to become an entrepreneur and author
- Some top tips on starting your own business
- Why she doesn't have any regrets about the path she has taken in her life and career
- What made her decide to start her own toy business, which is now a profitable and multinational enterprise
- Why she still values a degree of work/life balance, despite her busy career
- The under-acknowledged power of small businesses in the US economy
- Her plans to write another book
A great episode for aspiring business owners, corporate lawyers, associates and interested students alike.
