    Do you often worry if your fashion sense is appropriate for the
    workplace? Are you having trouble finding your one true passion? Have
    you ever had issues navigating the family business? If any of these
    questions speak to you, make sure to listen to this week’s podcast.

    Taylor Dordick is a personal injury attorney at Dordick Law Firm in
    California. She is passionate about fighting for victims of abuse and
    recently received a groundbreaking $2.28 billion verdict in the Jane Doe
    v Fitzgerald sexual abuse case.

    On this week’s episode, Maria speaks with Taylor about fashion in the
    workplace, working with her family, being a legacy, and finding her
    niche in fighting for victims of abuse.


    Key Takeaways

    Be smart about fashion. Yes, it is possible to dress appropriately for
    the workplace and still feel confident about your looks. Taylor teaches
    us that you don’t have to shop high end to feel high end. Search and you
    can find great deals at places like Target, Nordstrom Rack, and Saks
    OFF Fifth. And remember, tailor, tailor, tailor.

    Don’t squander your privilege. Take every opportunity and leg up that
    life gives you. Use it to do good, and don’t throw it away. There are
    tons of people who would give anything to be in your position. Don’t let
    them down.

    Find your niche. Sometimes, you have to work to find your calling
    because it’s not immediately apparent. Taylor found her niche in
    fighting for victims of abuse. Don’t be afraid to try different things
    until you find what makes you happy.

    Creating an authentic brand around your business can have a big impact
    on the growth of your firm. Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort
    zone.

    As a Miami native, attorney Amanda Demanda stands up to big insurance
    companies and businesses in pursuit of justice. She focuses her practice
    specifically on representing people injured due to the negligence or
    unsafe practices of others. Amanda firmly believes that products,
    places, and health care are made safer through lawsuits that shed light
    upon unsafe products and practices.

    On this week's episode, Maria sits down with Amanda to discuss creating a
    stand-out brand, not being afraid to break norms, diversifying
    marketing, and working with the Spanish and elder communities.


    Key Takeaways

    Your professional brand doesn’t have to be your personal brand. Everyone
    associates Amanda Demanda with her pink brand, but it’s not her
    favorite color. She picked a color she knew would stand out in the
    space. What works for your brand will be different than what works for
    you personally. Do some market research before making a decision.

    Diversify your marketing efforts. Don’t just focus on one form of
    advertising. There are many forms of both digital and print marketing.
    Amanda’s Instagram was deleted through no fault of her own. If that had
    been her only platform, she would have been in a lot of trouble. Don’t
    fall into that trap.

    Know your demographics. Amanda Demanda knows how to cater to her large
    Spanish and elder community followings. Figure out your target audience
    and know how to best reach and represent them.

    Having the odds stacked against you doesn’t mean giving up. Finding your
    path may be tough, but with hard work and determination, the
    possibilities are endless.

    Gary has held the record for the highest jury verdicts in numerous
    courthouses, including a staggering $125 million-dollar jury verdict in
    Ventura County in 2016. He went directly from high school to law school,
    never attending college. He put himself through a four-year night
    program while working at a law office, where he started as a file room
    clerk. Immediately after passing the bar, Mr. Dordick opened his own law
    firm, starting out with no employees. Now, Dordick Law Corporation has
    three locations, fifty-six employees, and eighteen lawyers, including
    his three kids, Michelle, Dylan, and Taylor, as associate lawyers.

    On this week's episode, Maria sits down with Gary Dordick as they
    discuss what it means to be healthy at 60, how he found his path through
    martial arts, working with his kids, and how he sees the future of law.


    Key takeaways

    College isn’t everything. Not going to college doesn’t mean not being
    successful. Carve your own path, learn from others, and take advantage
    of every opportunity.

    Don’t spoil your kids. Even though you may want to give them everything
    you didn’t have, it’s ok to hold some things back. Teach them lessons
    about the value of money and let them see how hard work and grit can
    lead to a more fulfilling life.

    Try new things. Don’t be afraid to take a chance. You may find your view
    completely changed after giving it a try.
