I recently did an interview for the LAABH Foundation, talking about my career as a lawyer, making the decision to leave the law to run my business Edward Kwan just before COVID hit, and how my now-main-income-earner Gracie Kwan Candy Boxes was born out of the pandemic during stage 4 lockdown.

LAABH has a whole ‘Interview Corner’ dedicated to interviewing former lawyers who are now in completely different careers. While many lawyers are really passionate and fulfilled in their jobs, it’s no secret that a lot of lawyers struggle to find that passion.

It is quite a long interview but I think the questions and my answers are actually quite interesting 😂 so if you have time to read it, I hope that it can inspire you in some way or another. Whether that is to quit your stable career and pursue a super niche random small business 😅 or whether it is simply to encourage you to find that ‘spark’ within the career you’re already in. I also talk a bit about mindset and self-belief, which I believe is the most important ingredient!
