This week on Work From the Inside Out, I had the pleasure of speaking with Casey Berman, a strategic advisor, writer, and career transition expert. Casey is best known for his platform, Leave Law Behind, which has helped countless attorneys move beyond the legal field into roles that truly meet their interests. Today, he extends that mission more broadly through CaseyBerman.com, guiding professionals of various backgrounds to discover their “unique genius,” the blend of skills and talents that makes them valuable.

Casey’s own story is one of persistence, pivots, and discovery. Though pushed into law school by well-meaning advice, he quickly realized the traditional path of practicing law wasn’t for him. After failing the bar exam once, and later passing, Casey’s career took an unexpected turn when he joined a startup during the dot-com era. There, he began to recognize and develop strengths he didn’t even know he had, communication, negotiating, and leadership. Casey saw how he could leverage those skills to shape a career beyond law.

Now based in Maui, Casey helps people identify their invisible strengths, what he calls Casper the Friendly Ghost skills, and bring them to life in both meaningful and sustainable ways. From founding his own businesses to launching an AI-powered coaching tool, Casey models what it means to embrace risk, trust the process, and build a career that truly fits.

In this week’s Work From The Inside Out podcast, learn more about:

• Discover your unique genius — Your most valuable strengths may not be obvious; ask others what they notice in you.
• Don’t just do what you’re good at. Do what you enjoy. Success and fulfillment meet at the intersection of skill and passion.
• Redefine career paths as multi-dimensional. You don’t have to stay in one lane; your career can reflect many ways of creating value.
• Do it your own way. Frameworks and advice are useful, but the most authentic and sustainable path is the one that fits you.
