Justin Richland: Changing and Measuring Your Life

When Justin was in college, he had no idea what he wanted to do with his life.

He didn’t know what the path was or what it really took to find the contentment he was looking for.

As his folks said: “If you don’t know what to do, just go to Law School”. And he did. But it wasn’t soon until he realized he made a huge, huge mistake.

Creating a life that’s authentic to you, is, as we dig in, harder than it seems.

In this interview, we tackle what it means to live a life that’s true to you and what it means to realize that the script of your life isn’t written until YOU write it.

Today on the show, my friend Justin Richland, an associate professor at the University of Chicago, legal anthropologist, and author (Arguing with Tradition, Introduction to Tribal Legal Studies) talks about what it took to build a life that mattered to him – from Law School all the way to the Hopi people, this one’s a treat.

The fun thing about having smart friends is that they do just about everything. The search for Authenticity – and figuring out what that means – can come from just about anywhere.

No matter where you are on your journey, tune in!
