Goli Kalkhoran is a lawyer-turned-entrepreneur. As Goli puts it “that’s a fancy way of saying I quit practicing law, did a lot of soul-searching, tried a bunch of different things to figure out what I wanted to do next, and happened upon an idea I turned into a business.”

Goli was the quintessential risk-averse, people-pleasing, type-A personality. She studied hard, got good grades and followed the predictable path to a great law school, never really questioning what being a lawyer actually meant.

Not surprisingly, when Goli actually started to practice law, she hated it. At first, she accepted the fact that regardless of her happiness she had to work as a lawyer. She never considered another possibility. Instead, she would daydream of winning the lottery.

This all changed when she had her first child and moved from Arizona to California. Every application she filled out for a new job in law made her feel stick to her stomach, and with the support of her husband, she finally made the leap to entrepreneurship.

Learn the journey Goli has been on the last few years starting her own business. She recently launched the podcast “Lessons From a Quitter” where Goli interviews individuals like herself who were lawyers, doctors, etc. and left to pursue what made them truly happy in life.
