let him bake cake
This American Lawyer article on litigator-turned-entrepreneur Warren Brown made me smile. Realizing early on in his career that “law was not his life’s calling,” Brown decided that what Washington, D.C. really needed was high-quality cake made from scratch. Overcoming his “fear of flour,” he “tackled cake baking like a lawyer -- that is, doing extensive research on cakes, making them, and analyzing the result” – before opening his bakery, CakeLove, to rave reviews.
