As Maya Angelou said, “Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.” That’s the kind of success I wanted — not the kind with a dollar sign attached, but the kind that makes you love your work. Five years ago, I took a leap of faith and launched DMC […]

It’s been a while since my last post – nearly 3 months. Riddled with guilt and with very little extra time on my hands, I turned to ChatGPT. I asked it to “draft a blog post for DMC Law, LLC apologizing for not writing a blog post in a while.” The text below is from […]
