Episode Summary:
In this week’s episode, I’m chatting with my trademark attorney Austin Padgett, who helped me finally get the Heart Centered Entrepreneur trademark after years of working with another attorney without success. We’ve worked together for more than two years, but I learned some things about him for the first time during this conversation—including that he has a graduate degree in music, his wife is a singer, and his kids play music too!
We get into so many fascinating business lessons around curiosity, second opinions, patience, and pursuing goals that take years to accomplish. Austin shares why he uses a different word instead of “problem,” tells me about his curiosity journal, and we talk about the courage it can take to ask for another perspective. I also had to ask whether he switches personas between explaining things to me and defending me against other attorneys on Zoom. 😂
