The Breaking Point | The Tyler Wagner Show Shortclips - Mark Shaiken

It was like you knew. The— there's a famous Supreme Court opinion about pornography, although I won't get into the porno part of it at all, because that's not me either. But it— in that, the Supreme Court was being called on to decide if something was pornographic. This was in the 1960s. They were being encouraged to define pornography. Justice— who was that? Which justice was it? Justice Potter wrote famously that he wasn't going to define pornography, but what he was going to say is he knows it when he sees it. And this was, or was not, I don't even remember which way it came down. But that became sort of the famous thing. And It applies, you know, to a career as well. There isn't that moment, at least there wasn't for me, when the light bulb goes off and, you know, oh, I must be a lawyer on the entry part, or the light bulb goes off and you must not be a lawyer anymore. It was more of a process. And, you know, for me, part of the problem was a series of what I might call midlife crises. Where I wake up one day and I say, okay, I don't really want to be in the big law firm anymore.
