Let's kick off 2022 with some major inspiration. John Rizvi, better known as The Patent Professor, is a Board Certified Patent Attorney and the founder of an IP law firm located in South Florida. John goes back to his childhood: the time where his interest in engineering and patent law started to peek through (since little, he already had dreams and sketches to create a spherical Rubik's Cube!). He has been featured in renowned magazines and his law firm is considered one of the fastest-growing private companies in the United States. Nevertheless, he's been through some challenging times, which he shares in this interview, and, fortunately, they have gotten him to where he is now. Listening to John talk about the trajectory of his career will motivate you to start working on that wild dream or idea you've been thinking about, but have been holding off. So ditch the fear and embarrassment, and make 2022 the year you start making big things happen for YOU!
