Episode 018: The Seastar of Startup Law & Being a Fun Mom; Rachel Johnson

Start Up Law, Founder, Wellness Tech Entrepreneur

Rachel Johnson is one of those women that you talk to and by the end of the talk you're like woah...that was a goddess! Rachel is Managing partner at J&O Law. which is a firm that she and her best friend from law school founded after doing some time in big law. They specialize with helping startups and emerging growth companies with their legal and coaching through the life cycle of new business. She followed in her parents footsteps by pursing law, the only of her and her 4 siblings to do so. She claims she is "normal" and that nothing was handed to her. And we believe her. You can kind of tell because she is so talented but also so down to Earth and super cool. While being super hardworking and clearly highly intellectual, she also manages to be a conscious and culture oriented boss, super fun friend and party host and of course a mommy of 2. She also has some major tips for anyone pursuing law school. Specifically that the first year you should become a hermit and give it every ounce you have. She really is a gem we are so happy could join the circle and group of goddesses here to inspire you.

Rachel and Mel talk about her transition into start up law from big law, her tips for people pursuing law and building companies, and how to be a good mom when you're also a career woman. J&O's startup package for anyone looking to formulate a company is $1500 and we think worth every penny! By working with a legal team from the start of your business, you really set yourself up for success and save a lot of expense down the line to fix what you've set up wrong. Firms like hers know how this process works and really they not only serve as legal but as coaches who know all the steps from building a quality team to series A fundraising. Listen and expand!
