About This Episode

Originally interested in being a writer, political manager or lawyer, Frank decided to become a lawyer because it best served his life. This Chicago, Illinois native moved to Florida to attend undergraduate and law school. 

Why Law School

Frank is a big advocate for teaching people how to do what they want to do. Frank is adamant that he would not talk a law student or new lawyer out of continuing with being a lawyer. 

It is not for me to say you should not do this or this is not what you think it is, explains Frank Ramos. 

Frank Ramos also spends his time working as a purpose coach where he challenges people to look for their mission, their destiny or what they are supposed to do in their lives.  Frank is adamant that this self reflection is not only necessary as a new lawyer, but tenured lawyers may also learn about what motivates them.
