Creating Generational Access in Law, Tech, and Advocacy feat. Chibundu Nnake

Chibundu Nnake, a lead privacy campaign manager at Google, shares
his journey from being a walk-on football player at Ohio State to
navigating the intersections of law, technology, and advocacy. In
this episode, he emphasizes the importance of creating
generational access and opportunities for others, while also
encouraging young lawyers and law students to explore diverse
career paths beyond traditional legal roles. Chibundu's insights
highlight the value of networking, self-awareness, and the
pursuit of passion in shaping a fulfilling career.





Lawyer Side Hustles


As Chibundu Nnake highlighted in the podcast, the law degree
offers a unique advantage, providing credibility and a strong
foundation in critical thinking and problem-solving. This
versatility allows lawyers to venture into various fields, such
as tech, advocacy, or even entrepreneurship. By leveraging their
legal expertise, lawyers can create side businesses that align
with their interests, whether it's consulting, teaching, or
developing legal tech solutions.
“The law is a very amorphous, malleable vehicle. I think what's
important is that you have a purpose and you're passionate about
it,” shares Chibundu Nnake in Episode 163 of You Are a Lawyer.

Chibundu’s perspective encourages lawyers to not only seek
fulfillment in their primary careers but also to explore side
hustles that resonate with their values and aspirations. By doing
so, they can enhance their professional satisfaction and create
additional opportunities for growth and impact in their
communities.
