Today I met a commercial and business lawyer.

He came in, asking about our signature products and sharing that he loved our new hero product. It was especially important because he didn't even use it for creative things. He just ran documents and drafted diagrams on it occasionally.

When I asked him what he did for work, he shared he was a lawyer. "Yeah I don't like to brag too much, because it makes me feel weird."
"Oh, it's ok, I asked so sometimes it's good to be aware of what you've accomplished."

He eventually shared that he passed the bar on the first try in 1985, and has been practicing law since. He said he felt fortunate to have all the success that he did. I explained the hero products we had several times, and he repeated his questions several times. I didn't mind, he was just trying to understand.

Before leaving, he shared, "You know, I like you. You're very good and you do a good job explaining things. I'm not a dumb person."
"I mean, you're a lawyer, you probably understand stuff pretty well."
"I do tons of business cases and understand the complexities of that, but I just don't computers, so thank you."

I thought it was really nice of him.
