A life-affirming trek (and its lessons for lawyers)
In this special episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, produced in partnership with Lorica Partners, we unpack Rick Walker’s experience of trekking the Camino de Santiago in Spain, what it taught him – personally and professionally – and what lawyers can take away when planning for 2025.
Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Lorica Partners founder and senior adviser Rick Walker about his upbringing and how this has shaped his life and approach to financial planning, why he chose to undertake the 800-kilometre route on the Camino de Santiago, not having any expectations going into such an undertaking, what the day-to-day experience was like across those weeks, and the insights and perspective he gained from the trek.
Walker delves into his renewed appreciation for life’s small joys, the significance of documenting his reflections on the trek, and the lessons such an expedition offers lawyers. He explores how his client interactions have transformed, what introspective questions lawyers should pose as the new year approaches, and the critical importance of recharging and resetting during the summer break to craft optimal strategies for 2025.
