The word attorney conjures up many images, some less likable than others. Sometimes this distaste for lawyers is rooted in reality and other times it is not. But every now and again you will meet a lawyer who has changed course and taken a new route and this change informs who they become. My guest, Blair Nicholas, was one of my former legal competitors (friendly ones of course) and yet we crossed over into real conversation as Blair shares his journey in finding a new path as a Vineyard owner and the deep connection he feels with the land in Dundee Hills Oregon. I knew Blair before our conversation, but today I met a man that showed me how complex we can all be given the opportunity!
