Day In My Life As A Founder, YouTuber & Lawyer in Manhattan

I got to live out all of my NYC fantasies recently while visiting friends in America - I walked the epic NYC High Line, ate bagels, drank cwwaaffffeee, and I worked on my businesses from coffee shops (of course, F.R.I.E.N.D.S taught me this is THE place to be in Manhattan).

So, buckle up for a day in the life of me, living my best life!

About Me

I'm a lawyer, part-time YouTuber, son, brother, startup founder, fiancé, black coffee drinker and plant dad. I graduated from Cambridge University (where I studied French and Spanish), topped my law school class and now work for a corporate law firm in London as a trainee solicitor (which takes up a lot of my time)!

Around that, I'm a big fan of discovering new ways of thinking, of balancing work with life, and of performing to the very best of my ability. Ohh, and being happy. And I try to share all that on this YouTube channel 😀

Fun fact: I believe we massively overplay the role of “natural talent” 😮 AND… I also believe that TOGETHER, WE ARE ALL CAPABLE OF POSITIVITY, PRODUCTIVITY AND SUCCESS.

Not exactly related to this video, but would you be open to discussing the process of building menos?

How much money did you have to save before starting, how you found suppliers and distribution. I’m a business nerd so I’m always interested to hear how people get started.

My wife and I want to launch a product but we don’t think we have the capital to do so just yet.

Love the videos and the effort you put into this channel. Keep up the awesome work. Hope you have good time on vacation.

Liam could elevate his morning routine by obtaining a sunrise lamp. You wake up so much more refreshed than just using a phone alarm.

Have you ever thought about adding a sleeve for the Menos pack for our carry on roller. I love the menos because it’s so sleek and I realize it goes on our backs but while in the airport I hate to carry anything. It would be the perfect addition to my go to travel accessory. Thanks from 🇨🇦 also a frequent business traveler ✌🏻

Would love your thoughts on how American lawyers are different culturally to british lawyers! Eg does everyone go to a pub after work? And things that surprised you about American corporate settings. Also if you have meetings with the london office how does the time zone usually work?

[nestor-martinez]

Welcome to New York Liam! You fit right in!

[marketerhayden]

Love this, very inspirational and amazed at how you manage to do it all and still seem so content.

I loved everything about this video. The shots of the beautiful trees and landscaping and Central Park made me feel like it was a sentimental movie. The cute cafe and food shots made me feel like I was in a foodie blog. The moving shots of you walking and exercising made me feel like I was in a wellness video. The gorgeous shots of the architecture including the Hudson Yards sculpture and the Highline made me feel like I was on an architecture tour. The only part I didn't approve of was the 19 dollar bagel, that little bit made me feel like I was in a horror movie! Just kidding, you deserve to spend your hard earned money where you see fit...

[vietsangho]

❤❤❤Watching your videos is fun and interesting

[danthomas]

Hi Liam, love your videos! Did you have to get permission from your law firm to start a business alongside working for them? I have a clause in my employment contact that says anything I create is the IP of my employer, but I would like to start up a business outside of work. Many thanks!

My phone straight up skipped the first three minutes of the video as an ad segment.

Law if helping ordinary life would much be better. Your daily morning routine is always away a few blocks from your home in early morning. I am not type of boring lawyer. I'm more close to linguist. 😅
