Top 100 Law Firm CEO - "I was living in a tent whilst trying to finish school"

EP 370 - Parties beat networking events. The best people for your
business probably won’t have been to university. Controlled
aggression is a good thing.  You want opinions, our guest
this week Adam Pope has got 'em. Unlike most people peddling BS
business advice on LinkedIn, he has the business and life
experience to back them up. 


From being homeless (and trying to finish school whilst living in
a tent) to being the CEO of Spencer Churchill, a law firm that’s
looking to be the opposite of what you’d expect, Adam is a man
who lives life on his own terms and is creating a company with
that mindset.


We talk to Adam about radically re-inventing cultural
expectations around how a law firm, or any business, should
behave.  He also talks about his belief that “suffering
sharpens the tools”.


Which is probably why he entered his first Ironman Triathlon
before he actually knew how to swim.
