“Keep going, it's all going to be fine” with Lindsay Conchar
Welcome back to Scale Her Up! Today we have Lindsay Conchar from Scots Law Talks with us. They are an educational event and workshop service that sets out to make Scots Law more accessible and understandable. From interactive talks about legal issues, to forensic workshops analyzing blood spatter, their passion is sharing the knowledge to all ages, communities and groups across Scotland. After starting her law traineeship, Lindsay quickly realized soliciting and formal law was not the space she was meant to be in. She still had her passion for justice but didn't know where she'd fit. She took the leap and left, not knowing what her next step was, and fell into education, becoming a lecturer at Dundee and Angus College. There she found her love for teaching and sharing Scots law, which prompted her to start Scots Law Talk during her maternity leave. On today's episode, Lindsay opens up about her advice to those who aren't happy in their current careers and shares how she made the leap. What she's learned since becoming an entrepreneur, the glamorous and not so glamorous sides of business, what it's like working with her husband, and how to deal with the isolation that could come with starting a business. This episode was an absolute delight to film, and a big shoutout to Lindsay for joining us.
