I met Mark Shaiken when he was referred to me by a mutual friend who thought he might be a good fit for my podcast. Thank you Cristin Crampton Day! I was intrigued by Mark’s transition from a bankruptcy attorney to author. I wondered just how good of a writer he might be so I replied to Mark asking for a couple of his SIX books to sample. I read with amazement his samples of his two books of essays, “And Just Like That,” and “It’s What Makes Me Me – A Retired Attorney’s Relationship with Life and Times.” Both are moving, easy to read, funny and caused me to move into useful introspection. I then listened on Audible to one of his four legal thriller books, “Cram Down.” I enjoyed the unique story! I decided there was a ton I wanted to talk with Mark about including:

• How did you shift your identity from that of an attorney to that of an author?
• What did those around you think of this transition to a completely different focus at the time in life when most people are settling back?

Such a great conversation!
