Spouses Leave the Law to Build a Marketing Agency for Lawyers with Tyler & April Roberts

Mar 30, 2020

In Episode 034 of The Former Lawyer Podcast, I’m sharing my conversation with Tyler and April Roberts. Tyler, a former lawyer, and his wife April, who has a background in marketing, co-founded NOMOS Marketing, a marketing agency for lawyers.

In this conversation, Tyler & April share about:

• What it’s like to be the spouse of a law student;
• How April found out that Tyler had passed the bar before he did;
• Why even before Tyler started law school, they didn’t plan on him practicing law forever;
• How a personal tragedy set Tyler on the path to law school out of a desire to help others;
• How they switched their thinking about paying off Tyler’s law school loans;
• How the idea for their business grew organically from the jobs they were already doing (lawyering and marketing);
• What it’s like to work full-time with your spouse;
• How your background as a lawyer can both help you and hold you back;
• How working for an entrepreneur with a legal background helped Tyler see how his law degree could be used in innovative ways;
• How to communicate with your non-lawyer spouse about why you’re unhappy as a lawyer;
• How they help lawyers differentiate themselves;
• Their best advice for lawyers who don’t love their jobs;
• and much more!
