Description

Welcome back for Episode 18, First Gen!

In this episode of First Gen Law Podcast, we sit down with attorney turned serial entrepreneur, Nkem Okeke, to explore how legal training can be the ultimate foundation for building a business.

A proud Tulane Law School alum, Nkem shares how her years as an attorney sharpened the very skills—critical thinking, negotiation, and strategic problem-solving—that she now uses daily as the founder and operator of two successful startups.

We talk about:

  • How her experience in the legal field prepared her for the entrepreneurial journey
  • Why being an attorney can make you a stronger business owner
  • The mindset shift needed to go from practicing law to running a company
  • Her advice to fellow attorneys considering entrepreneurship


Nkem’s story is proof that your JD can open more doors than you think—and that success is not limited to the traditional paths.

🎧 Tune in for an inspiring conversation that challenges conventional thinking about what’s possible with a law degree.
