Acquisitions in Legal Tech: Thomson & Relx
My father discusses what it is like to sell two companies and the many trials and tribulations that come with it. His first Acquisition was selling GSI to Thomson in 2005 which involved coming to terms with personal relationships and what it means to understand oneself as an entrepreneur. The second acquisition was Relx acquiring Intelligize in 2016. This was a slightly different process but the lessons still remained the same, just further in time. arecordofmyfather.com https://youtube.com/@a...

ADHD
We explore my relationship with ADHD and Adderall from my adolescence and how it has shaped me into the person I am today. We draw connections between how corporal punishment has disappeared in schools and has been replaced with drugs instead. Expectations for children are set too high with academic rigor being the measure of success, one of the greatest farces created in today's society. https://www.arecordofmyfather.com/ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/48Dg8kSkYXtt3s13NnZMsa?si=c0be6c...

Regrets

What it Means to Grow
On this weeks episode we talk about epiphanies that have helped my father define hia paths in life. His personal epiphanies were often tripped over and helped him discover what it was that he wanted to do vocationally but also socially. We explore what it means to self-actualize and how difficult it can be, but at the same time being a reader of regular day to day events helps with understanding the talents of ourselves. We hope you enjoy this weeks episode!

Coming and Going
On this weeks episode we talk about letting go and what my Dad would tell himself when he was twenty five when he was forty five. We also talk about what the future means and the model of risk taking. It will get better, moving from making parents proud to making yourself proud. Letting go is the hardest facet of the human experience and yet we should not turn away from it because that is what makes us grow.
