From Addiction to Advocacy: Brandon McDonald's Legal Journey

Being an attorney was kind of all rolled into that ball of addiction for me.
In this compelling episode of 'The Quality Varies', hosts Jordan Homer and Bryan Lee sit down with Brandon McDonald, a man whose path from addiction to recovery led him to a career in law. Brandon opens up about his personal struggles with addiction and how he navigated the rocky road to sobriety, thanks to the unwavering support of his friends and family.
He shares candid insights into the challenges of being an attorney, especially one with a history of addiction, and the importance of discussing these issues openly. The conversation takes a deep dive into how replacing addictive behaviors with healthy habits can be a game-changer. Brandon found solace and a new kind of thrill in dirt biking, which helped him replace the dopamine rush he once sought through substances.

Marketing in the legal industry also comes under the spotlight, with Brandon sharing his creative strategies for promoting his law firm without falling into old addictive patterns.
